Train connections & reservations

Hi everyone, I have booked seat reservations on eurail.com for my 1st class pass and as stated here (https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/reservations/trains-with-additional-supplements ) I was expecting supplement fee to be included as my reservation costed me 17 EUR per person. Unfortunately I don’t see anything regarding supplement in my PDF confirmation and now support told me, there is no supplement included and that I should buy one. The reservation itself doesn’t cost 17 EUR, so I don’t get it. Anybody has the same experience? Did you have problems with conductor at the train?Thanks,Jacob

As from today it is possible to make Interrail/Eurail reservations for both seats, beds in sleeper and chouchette on the SJ Euronight between Stockholm and Hamburg Altona. For dates after the 10th of December, reservations can only be made at sj.se .According to the information I have reservations will not be possible through ÖBB as there are problems with the communication between the ÖBB and SJ reservation systems.

Hello, I don’t know how to make use or how to reserve boat trips with my eurail pass, any help??

Hi, I can see on DB website an overnight train (and when I click on further details it says EuroNight) from Prague to Frankfurt (18:26h EN40458), however when I proceed to book a seat, it doesn’t offer me the option to book a couchette, only the 4,50€ option for a seat. Do I have to book the couchette offline on the day or how does it work?Thank you! 

How do I use my eurail global pass for making reservations on European trains ( spain Italy)

Hallo, kann ich eine Sitzplatzreservierung umgehen indem ich im Zug stehe. Von Bologna nach Florenz für eine halbe Stunde 12 Euro mit Global Pass  

Whenever I try to make a reservation I’m able to add it to my bag, but when I go to buy it, it says it is no longer available. Then when I search again for a different ticket, the journey appears to be available again!What’s going on?

Hi! I have bought my Eurail Pass, added my Bologna to Riomaggiore trip, and paid for the one fast train service from Bologna to Florence.  What I’m confused about is there are 3 other trains: Florence to Pisa, Pisa to La Spezia, and La Spezia to Riomaggiore.  These three trains don’t need seat reservations.  Do I need to buy tickets for these trains or does my pass QR work for them? I can see them all listed under the pass ticket but I didn’t want to run into any issues on board. 

I had a seat reservation in Eurail, from central Amsterdam to Berlin hbf, the train to Amsterdam was cancelled and we could not take that train. Can the seat reservation be returned?

We are hoping to catch a bus on the above route ( no trains) on 13 April. Entur can’t help and referee us to the website Nordland Reis. I can see there is a bus but I can’t book a ticket from the site. Would appreciate any advices . Thanks

Hi, where can I find the seatmap for night trains to Palermo .. I made the Reservat for couchette comfort 4 people but not sure how the seats are distributed.. 

Hi. My boyfriend and I will be traveling in Spain in the month of June. We bought non-refundable Eurrail passes before we realized we can’t reserve Renfe seats online. Do you think we will have a problem booking trains in person when we arrive in Spain? We will need Barcelona=>Valencia four days after we arrive, so the earliest we can physically go to the station to buy tickets is four days in advance. We are also going to need Malaga=>Seville and Seville=>Madrid, and those will be about a week and a half/two weeks later. Can we buy all the tickets in person in Barcelona? And do you think we will still be able to get the tickets on short notice? Thank you so much in advance!

Hey, ÖBB is sending to Newsletter readers that have a ÖBB Account an email with a coupon with 4 reservations for free for trains with optional reservation of ÖBB. The coupon is automatically linked with your ÖBB account. I tried now to book also DB trains, and it works (I tried till to the “paying” site). I don’t know if everybody with ÖBB account gets this or only people which have also the newsletter. This free reservation works only for trains with optional reservation system, and in the text it says only ÖBB trains. You have to book a reservation till 11th of September to use this free reservations. 

Im trying to book a night train from Madrid to Paris and also another from Berlin to Venice but can't figure out how to search for them or anything. I've been scratching my head all day. The websites keep me going in circles. Please help!

Wish to book 2 bus tickets from Narvik to Fauske in Norway on 13/04/2023. Can anyone please give me a web site or telephone number please so I can go ahead. Thanks

Hi everyone,I want to travel from Berlin to Bath(in the UK).I know that if I were to book over Deutsche Bahn this trip takes about 10 hours, especially because part of the trip is to go directly from Berlin to Cologne with an ICE (fast train).With the Rail planner it's ca. 15 to 18 hours, because it only proposes slow trains for basically the same trajectory. Is there a way to put together a route of my choice with the specific trains of my choice and still just only use one travel day of my pass, if yes, how would I do that? I'd still have to take 3 different trains with the quicker connection. But I don't know how to book this as one connection.I have the Interrail Global pass - flexi pass 4 days within one month.I'd be super thankful for any advice!!

I have the interrail pass and travelling to Paris on the weekend. The last train needs seat reservation but I cannot reserve through the app. It says “Pass holder reservation may be sold out”I have everything planned and really cannot cancel my travel! Is there any other way I can get the seat reservation?Thanks!

Hi, i would like to know what is the best itinerary to take to go from France to the mainland Greece?I general, how long does it take and what pass should i buy? There are no itineraries indicated on the website that's why i would like to know if someone who has done this trip before could help me. Thank you a lot! 

Does it matter that I can’t book on the Eurail pass site and therefore can’t see the trips on my pass app? Both times I have booked a night train.The first from Berlin to Budapest we had to have a seat reservation and booked it through OBB using our pass details. Then the second, from Amsterdam to Zurich, showed it was available and included but wouldn’t let me choose it to make the seat reservation that was recommended - ie my cart was empty. So I have also booked on OBB. Just wondering if it matters that I can’t book them on my pass. Or if I am doing something wrong/not seeing something obvious in the process.Thanks, any help appreciated!

My daughter is traveling and I’m at home trying to help her. She is in London and needs to get to Barcelona. She has the 15 days in 2 months global pass. We do not understand the app or where she needs to go to get her seat reservations. Can someone make this simple for us and explain it step by step? thank you! 

I spent more than an hour trying to book all the reservations for our trip to Europe in April/May.  I go to check-out and says one reservation is no longer available!!  After an hour?  Okay, but it doesn’t say which.  Frustrating.  I try to click back to see if at any point it tells me which reservation is no longer available,  but no, it does not!   Instead, it empties my cart,I wish I had not purchased the Eurail Pass.  The last time I purchased, back in 2018, it was great.  You could speak to someone, spend time with them booking reservations, etc.  Now you get an email back in two days!!  And the reservation prices are all over the place - much more than they said on website.  Plus, a $5 fee per reservation!  

I am trying to make seat reservations for trains from Paris to Lucerne on 7th May 2023. One leg is Paris Est to Strasbourg (France) on ICE9571 leaving Paris Est at 6:55 am.  Even though it shows up in the search with reservation cost, when I go forward and fill in the passenger details, it fails with “‘One of the legs of your journey is not available anymore” error. I am not able to confirm and pay for the reservation. I have searched for topics in the community (thanks for that, there are a lot of good info available) and when I tried to book directly on the train company website but there also I couldn’t go forward. I am attaching a few screenshots below.1/ What is the best way to move forward? I also have a couple of related question.2/ When I planed the trip on eurail.com (not logged in) it showed USD12.80 as the 2nd class seat reservation fee. But, after logging in, for the same train it shows USD24.00 as the fee. In both the searches I have “Included in Pass” filter selected. Som
