’m planning to travel through the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and other nearby countries starting December 13, 2026. I’d like to make seat reservations for the trains on my itinerary as soon as possible, but I keep receiving a message indicating that no trains are available.
Could you please let me know when seat reservations will open for the trains I’m planning to take? I’d also appreciate any information about how far in advance reservations can typically be made for these routes.

You can see some timetables now, and even make some reservations, but many schedules aren’t finalised yet. But you can assume the vast majority of schedules won’t change a lot, if at all - just check for the beginning of December as a guide.

13 December is the date European rail timetables change this year, typically reservations after the annual change date are not available until much closer as the exact times are not known as far in advance.
Are you saying that I won’t be able to see the train schedules and make seat reservations after December 13? Did I understand your answer correctly?
