The train could be sold out or not yet released. Interrail doesn't show availability. What are your travel dates?

Thanks Thibcabe.  I think ive sussed out salzberg to venice but there seems to be some problem Zurich to vienna night of 19/20th or 20th/21st.  Engineering works maybe?

I see availability fine on the Nightjet website on 19-20th July.

Definitely do not wait to book as it could sell out.

The (scheduled) departure time is what matters. The app will use that travel day.
