Reservations in Sweden

Hi,I already read how it should work normally. But when I go to sj.se and enter the interrail numbers for our two adults (for the two kids it is not possible to enter), I get strange prices like “family offer” or super expensive first class reservations. And they change the longer the route is I want to book.Any idea how I could solve this? Would it be possible to enter the train without reservation and ask the conductor? One example: When I want to go this sunday von Karlstad to Trelleborg it could cost1096 sek on 8:23 (family offer)5010 sek on 8.23 (first class)5010 sek on 10:15664 sek on 12:23...

Cannot book RJ Railjet supplement or reservation via Interrail

I thought from the main Reservations thread that one could use ‘ Interrail.eu/Eurail.com reservation service (+ 2 EUR/train booking fee - reservation included)’ for Italy-Austria-Germany. This is for 2 November.But I cannot get there - when I log into interrail.eu, it says:You need a supplement to board this trainThe train is included in your Pass but also requires a supplement. You can buy it online, at the station, or on board the train.’ and sends me here:https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/reservations/trains-with-additional-supplementsIt also says re reservations: ‘ No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable. ’I’ve also tried unsuccessfully to get one via DB online (as I’ve already got an account with them); I can only manage to get to booking a reservation but cannot find a way to buy the supplement there. I also could not find any way to get

Did your European train adventure change you?

Did you hear about the UK mom, Kirstie Allsopp, allowing her 15-year-old son and his 16-year-old friend go Interrailng on their own? It sparked quite the debate online! She argues the experience gave them more confidence and independence. Among our community, we often hear how a Interrail/Eurail adventure broadens horizons and is truly transformative. So, we want to know—what did you learn, or how did you change after your trip? Share your experience in the comments below! 👇 https://x.com/KirstieMAllsopp/status/1825622986671677696

Looking to plan for future trip - tips please

Evening all.I hope you are all well. I would like some advice and tips about using the global pass (specifically 3 month pass) for our travels around Europe.I have looked at various videos and reviews on YouTube regarding this way of travelling and most positive although, there are some that are negative and they do highlight some important issues.One guy was saying about reliability and frequency of trains in eastern Europe? can anyone confirm if this is the case please? Also apparently the train station names do not match with what is on the app so it can be a tad confusing according to the reviewers. Can someone who has travelled recently using the Interrail pass please advise on anything you think we should be aware of? We want to try plan in advanced as much as possible and to start our trip early-,mid next year and would appreciate all feedback, tips and advice.We understand that we have to make reservations in certain countries. Could someone please tell us what countries these

Seat Reservations and tickets in December

Hi All, I am planning on travelling from CDG airport through to Brussels on the 17 December, I can book the seat reservation through Rail Europe but cannot book the train ticket through Rail Planner yet as it is not updated. Should I book the seat reservation now and just wait for Rail Planner to be updated and book the ticket when available. If I book the seat reservation, is there any chance that I would not be able to use the Eurail pass on that train? Thanks for your help.

Night train between Prague and Budapest

I know there are similar threads, but if someone could help give me peace of mind I would appreciate it. I got the reservation for the 457 Nightjet departing Prague at 22:03 and getting to Hungary at 8:29 on 08/19. I got the 4 person couchette reserved and want to clarify that I do not need anything else apart from activating my eurail pass on that travel day. In addition, would you advise booking more train reservations for routes im taking. My route is Prague->Budapest->Ljubljana->Venice->Florence->Cinque Terre->Naples->Amalfi Coast->Milan->Nice->Barcelona->Valencia->Madrid->Sevilla. It will span mainly throughout September and October using the 2 month 15 travel day pass. I’d like the flexibility, but if you think any of those may be highly advisable to reserve in advance please let me know. Thank you!

Summer 2024, Vy Night train: Stockholm - Narvik

Hi, I'm hoping to travel to to Abikso from Denmark. It is not easy (I wonder if not impossible) to book the tickets from Stockholm to Narvik by calling vy.se (+46 771-444 111). Have it worked for anybody? I was trying to call them from 7.00 today, and still without success… Waiting for hours on the line. By the way I used an app (Rebtel) for calling to save the money, after noticing that the waiting costed me much too much… My question is - how much does it cost to book a seat for vy's night train from Stockholm to Abisko? And also whether it has to be a bed or there is (perhaps) some cheaper option. I'm just a poor student:) Also I wonder if the alternative for trying to call this out-of-hell-company, that is waiting for sj.se to release the bookings, is anyhow realistic plan? It is weird that vy has some tickets open for sell on their website (although there are some errors if one tries to buy them), while all the other websites have no booking open whatsoever.And actually, what is t
