Train connections & reservations

Hello,I need help please,I have booked seat reservations from Vienna Austria to Zagreb on the 14th June 2023.I was trying to book for myself and my friend but both reservations are not together and are both in her name.The system would not allow me to change the seat reservation to my name it kept putting in my friends name. We wanted to sit together too but i fear we are not sitting together. Eurail has told me to contact the railway company directly but being new to reading the European train tickets I cannot find the company. I see Railjet on my ticket? is that the company? Can someone send me a photo of where to find the railway company directly or give me an email address so i can rectify this issue.Thank you

Hello everyone. I am from Turkey and I was thinking of going to Dimitrovgrad myself (I cannot book to dimitrovgrad from here online as well) and then going to Budapest using Interrail ticket but the train goes through Bucharest on the way. And Dimitrovgrad - Bucuresti seems like cannot be booked online. It says it can only:Book in person at a main station in Europe Reservations only locally at train station in RomaniaSadly, I won’t be around any main station until I am out for my trip and I’m scared the trains will be fully booked ‘till I am there. And opinions on what else I can do?Thanks!

I have setup my trip on my app but it has one train that needs a seat reservation. It shows I have a ticket on it but I can not find where to make the reservation  

Hi,Travelling across Europe and am unable to reserve a seat for the train from Kapikule to Halkali. Given that the train departs at 02:30 is it possible to buy tickets from the station, does anyone know?Never done the trip before and all tickets are sorted except for this train.Many thanks.

Have accidentally booked a seat on the wrong day from Zagreb to split. Howcan I cancel it so the paper ticket does not get send?Do you get a refund for the delivery charge if not required?

Hi ! :)I’m french and I need to book a ticket from Montpellier to Marseille with my interrail global pass, to then go to Italy. But at the train station, I was told by the machine that this ticket with interrail global pass is only available for people who don’t live in France… While it is said on the interrail website “ An Interrail Global Pass is valid for travel in your country of residence during one outbound journey and one inbound journey that occur during travel days at any point in your trip.” Can someone tell me what to do actually ? Thanks in advance ! :)

For a trip to and through France, I would like to first check whether seats can still be reserved for certain trips. But I have to provide a passport number for this. I don't have that number yet.Because I don't want to buy the pass until I know that there are even seats available for my trips. What can I do? 

Three of us going from Paris to Amsterdam. All checked on the interrail travel planner and seats available to reserve. Myself booked and reserved a seat 34 euro and when my 2 friends tried to book no availability. Only booked this in the last 24 hours.Can I cancel this reservation or get it changed to a train where all 3 of us can reserve  seat. Dates of travel is 1st July?

Hello, I am trying to reserve beds for me and my family (2 adults, 2 children) on the night train EN40459 between Mannheim and Prague on the 1st of August. On the nightjet website it says that there are no offers available for "Couchette carriage", but for "sleeper cabin", but it only includes compartments for a maximum of 3 people (we are 4) and separated by gender. Is there no chance that the four of us can share a single compartment? Also, the price is quite expensive (€276) considering that we already have an Interrail pass. Thank you very much for your answers

Hi! I want to book  two sleeper cabin for 2 (separate by gender) in order to be me and our son in one compartment, and my wife and our daughter in other one (first screenshot). But when I’m gonna pay, this warning appears (second screenshot). I guess it means that we all four are not gonna be in the same compartment, that is gonna be two in one compartment, and two in the other one. Is that correct? It does’nt mean that, for example, my son is not gonna sleep in the same compartment as me, right? 

Me and my 3 friends are going interrailing for 2 months. We have been online and there to reserve our trips and for 2 of them have been unable to reserve seats online as they are saying “prices unavailable” as it is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. The specific trains and dates we are having trouble with are:  Pamplona » Madrid (8th July) LJUBLJANA » Split (20th July 1837 night train)  We are unfortunately unable to change dates of these trains as we have booked accomodation and events surrounding these places.  Is it possible all the spots havent  come out yet? Should we wait before starting to look at alternative travel? Any suggestions on how to get around this would be fantastic .  Thankyou!

Hi, We are looking at this journey. ---------------LON - EDI (booked via LNER) EDI - Glasgow Iceland inbetweenParis - BrusselsBrussels - Amsterdam Amsterdam - BerlinBerlin - PraguePrague - MunichMunich - VeniceVenice - NaplesNaples - RomeFly to Athens. --------Question’s are:Can you book specific seats? Like window seats and what not. I want to ensure we are together and maybe window seat/near luggage. LNER let us. Its got me thinking If I should Direct buy.  If we book a 2nd class pass, can we book maybe one leg of the journey 1st class? It seems you can in the seat reservation section. Like the Munich to Venice or any of the longer ones and how do you validate your tickets? I see people getting stung with this mainly in Italy.  and finally. any tips on the above journey thanksssss

If anyone can suggest what I could do with a 2nd class mobile pass to book seat reservations from London to Amsterdam it would be much appreciated asI've been trying to book seat reservations from London to Amsterdam for july. I am able to pick the date I want the seat reservation and everything up to the payment bit. But when I enter my card details and press pay it keeps saying something went wrong please refresh page. I have tried multiple departing times aswell as a different station other than Amsterdam centraal.Some possible issues I can think of:-seat reservations fully booked-booking seat reservations through interrail itself is difficult.

Hi dear, I'am little confuesed regarding adding a journey to the Mobile Pass with several connections.I will have two trains in one day with a short connection, the eurail site says that I have to add all the journey to the pass before getting to the train.Does it mean that I have to add the two trains in the same time before the first train, or I have to add every train before I get in it ?In case I will have to add them all in advance, and I missed the second train, would it possible to add another journey in that day with another train.Knowing that I have a global pass (continious). Thank you.

I have made seat reservations for 2 of the train rides I will be making internationally with my Eurail Global Pass for 2 months. However, some trains say I do not need to purchase a reservation. Will I be able to board the train still? How will I know the train will not be booked at the time I would like to board. Also, since my pass covers 10 rides within 2 months, how do I make sure that I use this pass for those train tickets? I am very lost. 

Hi all, Urgent request here. We were due to depart for Paris Gare de Lyon this coming Monday 22nd of May, but I just received an email from SNCF stating that our train had been cancelled due to a local rail strike. Email is as follows:'Your train 9704 on 22/05 to PARIS GARE DE LYON is cancelled due to a local rail strike.We advise you to contact your travel agent or your original selling point for the terms and conditions for exchanges and refunds before departure.Find out details about how our services are running and be informed on any disruption on your journey on:- SNCF.com. website under the timetables and live traffic updates section- By calling 00 33 1 84 94 36 35 (cost of international call + fees of your phone operator) or at your original selling point.' Our train was due to depart Monday 22nd from Barcelona Sants to Paris Gare de Lyon at 14:32. I have checked the SNCF website and I think there may be trains running, but I'm not so sure (looks like just basic trains with all

Hello,Maybe a strange question, what will they do if I will get on a train without a seat reservation. I have to travel from Malaga Airport to Granada and there will not be enough time to buy the seat reservation as I have to take the last train of the day. Over the phone they won’t sell as I need to pay it at the station 24h before departure. I know it is required but I tried my best and given all the ridiculous restrictions which will not allow me to reserve a seat my plan is just to get on the train as long as I see it is not full and sort it out on the train. It is a very short ride of 1 hour so even standing would not be a big issue. Will the staff help me or will they force me to leave the train at the next station?

Hi! I’ll be interrailing for the first time this summer July 2023. I was planning on doing Budapest - Zagreb on the 20th July 2023, on the IC204 15:42 - 22:10. The Eurail booking system says this journey requires seat reservations, however shows me the “Prices Unavailable” message. Also, after contacting the MÁV-group (Hungarian railways) about booking seat reservations through their website, they replied to me they only provide seat reservations online if you book the ticket as well, therefore Interrail Pass holders need to book these reservations at an Intenational Ticket Office personally. Could someone help me with this? Are seat reservations really needed? If so, are there any other ways to book them? Thank you.

Hello! I have booked a seat reservation for the Caledonian sleeper, however, when I try to find the train on the app to add to my pass I cannot find it.I added the journey manually, which has given me a QR code. Is this enough? I have printed out my seat reservation but I need to know if this manually added journey will be sufficient to get me onto the train.Thanks!

Hello,It is not possible to buy sleepers (double) online - or any other way from abroad - for the night train Budapest Zurich for interrail travelers. I faced this problem for several trip attempts...Practically : the option “Sleepers” is not available online on any website (nor at railway station in Zurich, or elsewhere).I called directly MAV : they confirmed that spaces were available. Full Tickets could be bought but NOT only the sleepers reservation for interrail travelers from abroad. They said there was just no option but to buy these reservations from a railway station within Hungary. Quite a heavy restriction !Is it some kind of discrimination ?Thank youJJM

Hi there, I understand that it’s not possible to book reservations for Spanish domestic routes online, but I’m hoping to clarify a question about alternatives. When I click on “other ways to book this seat reservation” in Eurail, one option is “Book in person at a main station in Europe.” For those who are more knowledgeable...is this really an option? If so, what counts as a “main station in Europe”?For reference, we will be in London (and other UK cities) and Paris before arriving in Barcelona. We need to book seats for a Barcelona to Madrid train in late July, and we will be in Barcelona for a week before going to Madrid. Should I be trekking to main stations in Europe along the way to try to reserve seats, or do I just have to wait until I get to Barcelona to make a reservation? If I do wait, are we (party of 3) likely to be able to get reservations with only a week lead time? Thank you! 

Hi,I am planning on taking the Bernina express this summer with my interail pass. In the travel planner app it is mentioned that for this trip you have to book a supplement. I would like to book a ticket for the panorama seats, but when I look at what supplement to book, it sounds to me that you can only book such a supplement for the panorama seats if you have a 1st class interail ticket, is this correct, or is it also possible to book these seats with a second class interail ticket? If so, how does it then work?

Hello,I’m asking myself where to sit in non mandatory reservation trains. I have no seat number attributed because the reservation is not mandatory, but it seems like other passengers have sit reservations so I’m wondering where to sit so I don’t take there seats. in my case, I’m travelling through Czeck Republic, Germany, Danemark, Sweden and Norway.thank you !

Hi, My name is Haeun kim. I made a reservation for Eurostar from England to France on Saturday, June 17 by Eurail Pass. The reservation number is R2023286255. Due to the schedule change, the fee was charged through the Eurostar app and the date was changed to Friday, June 16. According to the Eurail reservation, it is 6/17, but I wonder if there may be a problem with taking Eurostar on 6/16. If possible, can I get a voucher by email for the reservation made on June 16th? Thank you. 답장전달

Hi I will be travelling to France from UK next week with the interrail pass and going on a number of trains that have mandatory seat reservations (Eurostar, TGV).  I made all the seat reservations that are needed separately via other providers.  I now have completely separate pdf tickets for the seat reservations. I just want to check that when I board the train I will therefore need to show my interrail ticket (with the relevant journeys added) that I will generate on the interrail app before I board the train AND the seat reservation which will be a separate document. My understanding is that the seat reservations, as booked directly with other providers, will not show up in the interrail app- they are completely separate?  Is that right? Can the seat reservation be a printed out paper document?   Thank you for your help.
