Ticket from Cologne to Brussels

Hi there, I am traveling round Europe late this summer with 2 other friends (15-27 youths) and am wondering if I am missing something. I am trying to find a route/ tickets from Cologne to Brussels but it seems like there aren't many options, or it is very pricy! We have the Deutschlander pass so are also considering getting the included regional trains to aachen to save some money.  Is there a particularly scenic route between them, and if so is it much more than the ICE?  Any help or suggestions of where to look is greatly appreciated.

Swiss Pass Technicalities

Good Morning! I am traveling to Switzerland with 2 friends this summer, and have purchased the Swiss Youth Pass. We will be visiting Zurich each day, but one of the routes from our location includes going via Basel, and taking the TGV, would this be covered. Additionally at the end of our time in Zurich, we will be heading to Friedrichafen, from Bad Sackingen. We will have the 49 euro deutchlander ticket, so will this cover us for the journeys, as we are taking DB services? Many Thanks

Have I missed out on window seats?

I’m confused about what I have done.I tried to reserve two seats on the train from Prague to Zurich. When I look in detail, I see I am allocated two seats on the Prague to Linz leg but not on the next leg.When I looked at the seat layout on the Linz to Zurich leg, it looks like all the seats are in rows of 3. All bar one have the two seats closest to the window marked as if reserved and the only two side by side seats left appear to be a middle and aisle seats.Does this mean we can’t get window seats on the Linz to Zurich leg, or am I doing something wrong? I have a 1st class Eurail Pass and I am going on the day train to get a good seat with a good view. The booking is for May 6, which I could only access starting a few days ago. Have I missed out already?

1st Interrail trip cancelled. etc

At the time of writing I should be on the trains.1st disastrous Interrail experience. 1) yes there were one/several train cancellations on my first trip2) yes, the application doesn't help novice users with route changes3) Yes, the explanations and conditions for a “refit” are very laborious in the single-language descriptions.OBB have also just informed me that the reserved seats (ZUrich-Innsbruck-Wien) have been cancelled.30% loss on hotel reservation (unless I find an arrangement with them) (Ensana Sarvar) Yes, using public transport isn't always great, but there are also traffic jams on the road. I'd rather be annoyed on the road...In short, I've left our car behind...to go to Hungary for dental treatment...I'm hesitating to take the car instead of the train.The good news: I was able to interrupt my journey 15 min from my home and turn back, having to pay for a “small ticket” purchased from SBB/CFF.How do I claim? Where can I go? Full refund? How can I recover the lost journey that

SEAT RESERVATIONS FROM VENICE

Hello. We are using the mobile global pass and will travel from Venice to Avigliana on 9 June. Seat reservations are required on the first two legs of our journey. Should we purchase these on line now or wait until we arrive in Venice and buy them at the station? If we purchase the seat reservations on line now, will we need to print out the seat reservations? Or can we present the QR code from our phone to the guard? Thank you.

Sweden night trains: enormous price increase for interrail seat?

Hello,I see sharp increase in price of reservations of night trains in Sweden it looks like a seat now is more expensive than a couchette or sleeper compartment. A few weeks ago the price was 35 SEK now it is more than 400 SEK for a seat reservation on a night train.Does anyone know what happened?

Fragen zur ersten Reise: Reservierungen Portugal, Reisetage, Reisende

Hallo zusammen!Bald steht meine erste Interrail-Reise an und ich bin schon sehr aufgeregt. Die Reise führt mich von Portugal über Spanien nach Frankreich. Dank des Forums habe ich bereits viele hilfreiche Informationen gesammelt, aber falls jemand noch wichtige Tipps hat, immer her damit!Ich habe noch ein paar offene Fragen und würde mich freuen, wenn mir jemand weiterhelfen könnte:1. Man kann ja die spanischen Züge am DB-Schalter reservieren. Gilt das auch für Portugal, oder kann man die Züge dort nur vor Ort am Schalter buchen? Wenn ja, ist es möglich, dies 1-2 Wochen im Voraus zu tun? Ich würde gerne direkt bei meiner Ankunft alle Reservierungen vornehmen.2. Wie funktioniert es, am Schalter "nur" die Reservierung zu buchen, ”ohne” ein Ticket? Das Ticket ist ja der Interrail-Pass, dessen Reisetage ja dann noch nicht freigeschaltet sind.3. Sollte man den Reisetag immer erst einen Tag vorher freischalten, auch wenn man schon feste Reisetage geplant hat?4. Ist es sinnvoller, wenn man ge

Train reservation problems UK to Sweden

I am trying to book tickets from London through to Sweden - still reeling from the fact the reservation fees for a family of 4 are almost as much as the pass itself but I have a couple of questions I was hoping to get help with ... A lot of the time its giving me 9 - 10 minute train switches - is this enough? Thinking not with 2 kids but maybe the trains are more punctual in Europe?A lot of tickets say you can buy a seat reservation if you like but it's not required. Prices for this journey will start to be available 90 days before departure. It says this even though I am booking for within the next 90 days. Should I get the reservation from the national train line?Also struggling to book the Swedish sleeper from Stockholm to Hamburg on Swedish trains website - comes up blank when I search. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks for your helpAnna

Existing route (ticket purchased) but not referenced in the Rail Planner app

I have booked a train ticket between Venezia Mestre and Wien on a direct night train. I've printed out the ticket and know the timetable.In the Rail Planner application, this journey is not listed (a train leaves at the same time, but it includes a change and does not arrive at the same time as the one indicated on my ticket).Will this pose a problem in the event of an inspection?How can I ensure that this journey appears in the application and that my pass is taken into account? Is this necessary?Sincerely

Outbound/Inbout 0/3

Hello travellers  I've just installed my first ‘Pass’ (4 days- 1 month Not yet activated)Country of origin: Switzerland I'm surprised that the application displays : Outbound/Inbound: ‘0/3’ (I had imagined 0/2)Would this mean that we would be entitled to 3 ‘day passes’ covering our country of residence?For example: one exit + one entry + one 2nd exit?I have to admit that, if that were the case, it would be very useful financially... because, even with the half-price season ticket, crossing half of my country is frankly not cheap ;) Thanks for your insights ;) François. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) F - >UK

Trains from Copenhagen to Stockholm in September (24)

It’s now May and I’m checking the app for trains between Copenhagen and Stockholm for September and can’t see any, but train.ninja is showing lots.Do I conclude that there are no train journeys on which I can use my railcard, or does this mean the app hasn’t updated with train times for this far in the future?Thanks

Making reservations with different providers

This is a very basic question, but I have bought my Interrail pass and have the app - I’ve built my journey in there and ‘linked’ the pass. Then I can make my reservations through any provider like Rail Europe and it will all work together? I can’t see a way to add my reservation to the app… does that matter?I’m not travelling til 24 July so have some time - but I do want to make some specific journeys on certain days so want to reserve now.Many thanks for your time.
