Hi 

So I have my pass and I have booked my 1st journey in July( the euro star.)

The reservation is not showing on the interrail app ? Not sure why?

Also when I'm trying to search for trains it's saying no trains available. Or there is one option which is alot longer than it should be and €108 pp to reserve a seat!! This is from Paris to Nice. Can anyone help me? Is it because it's too early and more options will come available? When I go on the correct train website for that place it brings more up. I'm just getting confused. Would appreciate any help. 

 

Many thanks

Pass and reservations are completely separate. Reservations are not visible in the Rail planner app, except if you book a reservation via Interrail (not recommended) and log into your account in the app.

If you see "no trains available”, then chances are the timetable isn't complete yet. For more details, please mention route, date and departure time. SNCF don't believe in publishing timetables a long time in advance so you'll probably have to wait. Check this page if you want to know when reservations will open for SNCF trains.

If you want to know why that particular journey is €108, please mention route, date and departure time. It sounds though as if it's a nonsense route with multiple trains that already happen to be in the app at this time. The Rail planner app should actually not be used to plan because it's often not up to date and generally unreliable. The SNCF website will always be most up to date for France, but before reservations are opened, timetables are often not complete.

There's however no need to add trains in the app a long time in advance. The only requirement is that you do it before you board (or before check-in for Eurostar).
