OMG! I have went as far as the consierge to book these tickets with no help. I’ve changed all the settings in my computer. I’ve downloaded and used different browsers, called my bank numerous times, messaged the community (which is very useful for my next frustrating and mind boggling quest) and everyone has been magnificent and so very helpful and I am trying to be optimistic. I used PayPal. Typed my card in and said pay and it went through. I received an email from eurail for confirmation and I’m still in disbelief. I am eagerly awaiting an email that says something went wrong! Now onto the reservations

thank you everyone. I’m sure it’s not the last you heard of me

You guys ROCK! There is no way I could have ever pulled this off without you. Everything is all booked and let’s hope everything runs smooth. 

I’lld suggest you go to Brussels for the Eurostar, when coming from Bruges.This avoids you an extra switch (in a station that’s not super accessible and switching stations in Lille), and you have more facilities when waiting during the Eurostar Secutainment procedures in Brussel-Zuid/Bruxelles-Midi than in Lille Europe.(And more frequent trains to Brussels, from Bruges. About 3 per hour off-peak)

Travel time will be the same anyway.

Ok so this is what I have done

SCNB London to Paris direct Aug 7

paris to Stuttgart via karlsruhe, ICE eurail.com

hop on ICE 1065 from karlsruhe to stuttgart

stuttgart to Munich ICE OEB

hop on from munich to rosenheim aug 10

aug 18 rosenheim to munich OEB ICE

1st class and reservation for each leg

munich to frankfurt

Frankfurt to Brussels midi

brussel to Bruges hop on train IC 539 (eurail)

now

 Brussels to London (eurail?)

of course to Bruges to Brussels or illes first hop on 

You might have to split the booking because OBB often can’t handle multiple trains. I'd recommend this route with only 1 change :

• IC Rosenheim - Frankfurt (Main) Hbf 09:02 - 13:40
• ICE Frankfurt (Main) Hbf - Bruxelles-Midi 14:26 - 17:35

There would be more options by taking a regional train to Munich first and then an ICE (high-speed) train to Frankfurt.

Seat reservations cost the same for everyone. For London to Paris, the best website is:

https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/Pass#TravelWish

You can just enter London to Paris.

TGV: French high speed train

Just use www.bahn.com to find timetables.

I'd only use that if you can't get a Eurostar reservation. It takes a lot of time.

I am looking at €95 for all 5 which works out to $139 CAD and the rest of the journey hop ons. It would be another $59CAD to book a reservation for Stuttgart to munich

Yes perfect. Add the people and the discount before researching. You won't have to pay anything.

you might have to split the booking in 2 parts because ÖBB often can't handle multiple trains : first Rosenheim - Frankfurt and then Frankfurt - Brussels.

Btw you can still book later if you prefer. There's no quota, etc.

As explained earlier (you were on the right page at some point) : go to tickets.oebb.at and follow rvdborgt’s advice. This website works for journeys in many countries, including Germany, Austria, Czechia, Hungary,…

It will be the place to book Rosenheim - Frankfurt - Brussels too (all free of charge).

Where do I find this discount?

Stuttgart to Munich in 1st class can be booked free of charge on tickets.oebb.at: add the Interrail/Eurail discount and then choose "One-way tickets” (NOT "Seat reservation only”). In the next step, select 1st class.

Direct trains at leaving Paris-Est at 06:55 (ICE), 10:55 (ICE) , 13:55 (TGV) , 15:55 (TGV) , 17:55 (TGV) . Taking 3h10 to get to Stuttgart. 

That's the page where you can book French domestic reservations only.

Trains run to Stuttgart that day so I’m not sure what you’re doing wrong. Are you on the seat reservations page on eurail.com ?

Aug 10

No, TGV means Train à Grande Vitesse or high-speed train. They run from many stations, including Paris Charles-de-Gaulle Airport (CDG).

As said you cannot book trains between France and Germany through bahn.com. Use one of either option above.

“I’m in eurail.com trying to get a reservation from Paris east to stuttgart and it is not giving me an option of Stuttgart.” → there are engineering works on a few dates and trains do not stop in Stuttgart. Instead they use alternative stations like Esslingen. What is your travel date ?

Which date you're checking at? 

I’m in eurail.com trying to get a reservation from Paris east to stuttgart and it is not giving me an option of Stuttgart 

Does tgv mean from the airport in Paris? I’m typing in stuttgart but it’s not giving me any options either

You can’t book trains from France to Germany through bahn.com. Please use either eurail.com (2€ booking fee) or call SNCF (no fee). It’s great if it only costs 17€ (+ 2€) in 1st class nowadays. Then definitely choose a direct train to Stuttgart, there are a few ones per day : 06:55, 10:55, 13:55, 15:55 (direct to Munich) and 17:55.

Trains to Germany leave from Paris-Est

I’m not quite sure to do with this one. I don’t know what to chose from Rosenheim  and on bahn.com 

This is what I get from Paris to stuttgart

It seems to be €17 now (plus any booking fee), also in 1st class.

Oh, dang. I just booked Eurostar London to Paris without illes/Brussels. Or do you mean when we go to Bruges? If so. I think I’m too late. I already have the e ticket
