Hi! 
Me and my boys are on a trip right now. 
We have the Global Pass 1st Class and we are going from Vienna Hbf to Trieste Centrale on 13/05/26.

When I put the exact train into my rail planner it says that we need a supplement on this route (to pass the boarder I think)

Is this required for pass holders and does 1st class have anything to say in this case? 

Thank you.

Yes, there is a supplement required on OBB services to/from Italy, see here for details and how to book.

If I buy a seat reservation for the exact train does it include the supplement also?

That depends. If you book a reservation via Interrail, then it will be included. You pay an additional €2 booking fee. If you book via ÖBB, then the optional reservation is €3 extra (so €1 more expensive in total), but there's no booking fee and you can pick a seat from the seat map.

I think I found it, thank you very much!

When I try to book it, an error happens. Do I have to buy this the same day as we leave or is this just a system error?

Sorry, I’m new to this system 😅

You can buy it onboard if necessary, though I think they charge a bit more for that.

Which site are you using, ÖBB? If you describe the point where the error occurs, or post a screenshot, it'll be easier to diagnose.

Until now, they just charged me the normal price, or didn't bother checking tickets at all...
