seat reservation

For tomorrow:

https://shop.oebbtickets.at/en/ticket

To Paris use raileurope.com and change your internet settings to desktop version. 

At ÖBB you need to select normal tickets, not seat only. A seat is 14,90 EUR, for a couchette you add 35 EUR and for a sleeper you add 155 EUR.

Hi @Hektor and @AnnaB , I did choose the global pass when adding the passengers (me-adult, wife-youth). I am getting the below: 

@AnnaB  how are you able to to get to your page? 

Then that's why. Only a single seat and single couchette is left. You could get a sleeper for 400-500€ but I'm pretty sure you want to avoid that.

Please give all info from the start.

I'll check if there are alternatives but not sure at this short notice.

I am to leave Prague tomorrow (April 28) afternoon and reach Venice next morning. For 1 adult male and 1 youth female with global pass. Please let me know if you need any other info @thibcabe thanks 

For the same date and trains?? 

If you want to spend the night on a night train: do Prague - Vienna - Verona (or even Milan). This bypasses the buses.

Or spend the night in South Tyrol (for example) and finish the travel the next day. Either using a second pass day or buying cheap regional tickets.

About your other issue/question: the Zurich - Paris TGV is available on 3rd May. Book through Rail Europe to avoid fees (29€ reservation).

So during the day? The easiest option to Venice would be:

- EC Prague - Linz 06:21 - 10:06 (indicative) -> you'll change to a bus in Pregarten

- enough margin

- RJ Linz - Venice 12:19 - 20:05 3€ reservation + 10€ passholder supplement (available on ÖBB, add Eurail as a discount)

Or via Innsbruck towards Verona:

- same EC/bus to Linz

- Linz - Innsbruck -> looking for a train that still has seats... (otherwise you'll likely stand). For example Westbahn 10:26 - 13:29 or 12:26 - 15:26 (2.90€) or a ÖBB Railjet

- RJ Innsbruck - Verona 15:24 - 18:58 3€ reservation + 10€ passholder supplement

- (RV Verona - Venice 19:22 - 20:50)

If you want to leave later you'll have to spend the night before Verona/Venice.

Well then you have a single option as I said:

- RJ to Vienna (3€ optional but very recommended reservation) and then NJ to Verona/Brescia.

Departure at 14:44, unavoidable.

Book ASAP. Otherwise you'd have to take Flixbus or similar... (not included in the pass).

The second night train is full (Salzburg - Venice) and do you really want to not sleep at all during the night? Those 5 min and 11 min connections are also almost impossible (thanks Rail Planner...).

I looked at all options, don't worry. Apart from the Vienna - Verona NJ you could spend the night in Innsbruck or Villach.

Option 1:

- EC/bus Prague - Linz 14:21 - 18:06

- RJX Linz - Innsbruck 18:45 - 21:44 or later

Then regional trains the following morning and you're in Venice by 2pm.

Option 2:

- same to Linz

- RJX Linz - Salzburg 18:45 - 19:53 or later

- ICE Salzburg - Villach 20:12 - 22:44 or later

- night

- D Villach - Udine 10:07 - 11:54

- R Udine - Venice 12:09 - 13:59

Also arrival at 2pm. Direct RJ from Villach a bit later.

@thibcabe , sooo I am going to Vienna from Prague on 14:44 train RJ 371 (already in the train) and will take night flixbus (€60 each) to Venice arriving at 8am. All worked out well. 
 

for the Zurich - Paris I booked from raileurope $64 total as you suggested. Thanks for helping me out man
