TGV INOUI Lourdes to Paris Montparnasse Seat Reservation

Hello Stanley,

I quickly checked the Belgian B-Europe TGV-reservation page and it shows me the 19:38 train as the only one available on that day. Getting into Paris at 0:21 that night (29 Dec). Not ideal but probably your only chance with a 2nd class pass that day. https://travel.b-europe.com/Eurail-GE/en/booking-tgv

You should have booked earlier, but these are some options you still have:

Seems like almost all of the trains are booked out in 2 class. except for this connection.

It looks like raileurope.com is also selling the reservation including a first class upgrade for 72€.

In case it's useful to you, there's also availability in a couchette on the night train direct from Lourdes to Paris - both on the 27th and 28th.

Thank you for your response.

Do you think is it possible to book 1st seat when I have 2nd class pass? Because I saw on December 28, most of schedule only 1st class seat available.

For 1st class upgrade is it legal? I am just afraid it can be denied boarding because I only have 2nd class pass.

Thanks

​@Stanleyopranoto I expext it to be correct, as a the 1class reservation with a first class pass selected only costs 20€ and not the  72€ it costs with a secon class pass.

​@Marvin Heer 

But is it allowed to book 1st class seat when I only have 2nd class pass? I am just afraid I can be denied for boarding.

Yes, this is correct and allowed. A normal pass-reservation costs €20 on this day, 2nd and 1st class (see screenshot of booking options with a 1st class Eurail pass below). If you only have a 2nd class pass but want to travel 1st class, SNCF offers you to upgrade by paying €72 instead of the €20. If you sit in the booked seats and show this upgrade/reservation together with your pass QR-code to the conductors, all will be fine.
