sleeper train - first or second class pass?

I bought a second class pass for a trip. Now I want to book a sleeper train (coupe with 6 beds) from Utrecht to Neurenberg. Only that option disappears every time. I can only choose second class seats. Do I need a first class pass for sleeper coupe? And if this is true can I also book second class seats with a first class pass or are you required to make first class reservations only?Thank you in advance.

Reservation Trenitalia

Hi there, first time with Interrail, ambitiously traveling Rome-Amsterdam with two kids! I got a bit put off by the reservation costs as shown on the Interrail planner app...adding another 70€ish to the trip...wow! I guess with ÖBB it's cheaper, but they don't show the same trains (ok, I guess, I can add them 'manually' to the app) and the Trenitalia parts are not bookable? Are they sold out? How do I do this best? Thanks!

Reservation on IC201

From my previous research, IC201 doesn’t require reservations for eurail users  However, my eurail app now says reservation is needed.  I want to cut the cost of reserving through eurail, and directly do it with the train company.  I saw on another community post that this can be done through db or obb website. However, both says reservations not available.  Any other way for me to make a reservation?

German train strikes: How much notice

Morning! I read about the DB and the train union’s negotiations breaking down last week (22nd/23rd June) and there now being a ballot to strike.If it goes ahead I believe the strike would happen over the summer. Does anyone have experience with how long the timings of these things take. ie it’s been said that it takes around 4-5 weeks to get the result of the vote and then from there, if they do vote to strike, how much notice do they usually give before they go on strike? We’re be travelling through/in Germany on 24th July, 28th July and 1st August.OBB night jet Brussels to Vienna 24th JulyVienna to Diessen 28th JulyDiessen to Dijon 1st Aug Thanks in advance for any insight.

Seat resevations

Hello. I would like to book seat reservations at an international train from Krakow to Budapest. The website says that we can only get the tickets delivered by post, and not by e-mail. It that right? and do we have to buy the tickets at the station in krakow? Best regards

Direct (or not ?) overnight train Istanbul to Sofia

Hi everyone,I’m planning to travel from Istanbul to Sofia this summer by the Sofia-Istanbul Express overnight train. The train should be departing from Istanbul Halkali station at 8pm on the 29th of August and arrive at Sofia at 9.37 am the next day. However, when I try adding this trip to the rail planner app, I can only find a train with a connection in Plovdiv (in Bulgaria) between 5.41am and 6.35am on the 30th of August. Therefore I should have to use two travel days to make this trip. I’ve read on the seat61 website that this train is supposed to be direct between the two cities and therefore only cost a travel day. Has anyone done this trip recently and know how I can manage to book it on the rail planner app?Thanks in advance, Arthur

Reservation Advice

This is my first time traveling internationally. When I first started using the eurail app I used trains that didn’t require reserving seats so I didn’t realize that I had to book seats separately from the app.  My issue now is that I’ve just been told that I do have to reserve a seat. I’m trying to travel from Paris to Barcelona on June 30 and I can’t find any available trains. Does anyone have any advice on how I could find tickets to get there or any alternative routes? I’m traveling with a friend so I would need two tickets.Any advice would be really appreciated!Thank you

How to take a train if the App isn't updated

I was trying to book a train reservation, i’ve understood that the App timetable doesn’t match the Interrail site, because the App is updated only once a month.Due to this mismatch the train that i wanted to book is available on the site, but doesn’t exist on the App.I booked a mobile pass, how can i use the online pass as a ticket if the train the that i wanted to book is available only on the site and is unavailable on the app, how can i show my ticket?

Reservation, Pass activation and day ticket

Hello,I booked a reservation (for Eurostar, with a 4 days global pass) and received the electronic ticket by email.I don’t understand how it is linked to my pass. What I mean is: do I need an activated pass with a day ticket generated for this day as well, while using my reservation? Or, because of the reservation, a travelling day will be automatically subtracted from my pass?Thank you very muchJulien

Paper seat reservations haven't arrived for journey legs in Italy

Hi all,My Trip includes legs that pass through Italy. The only reservation options for these parts of the journey were paper tickets. They have been sent but never received and I don’t expect them to arrive before we leave. I have contacted Eurail customer service and they tell me that the only option is to cancel the reservations, apply for a refund, and book the reservations via another site. The problem is that, when I look on other sites, either seat reservations are no long available or they are prohibitively expensive.I’ve read on Trenitalia that if a seat is reserved via a travel agency, a booking confirmation code (PNR) will be issued, which can be shown on the train to prove the seat reservation. Although I haven’t received the paper ticket, I do have a PNR number. Does anyone have any experience of a similar issue with paper tickets for routes through Italy, and know whether the PNR is sufficient without the paper ticket?Thanks in advance!

How to travel on train in Northern Scandinavia?

Hi! I’m planning to do a route in Scandinavia this summer and after doing Norway I wanted to go to northern Sweden and then Finland. I tried to create a route on the rail planner app which went from Bodoe to Kiruna to Rovaniemi, but I can’t find any train available. Maps at best gave me a bus route from Bodoe to Kiruna but nothing else to go to Rovaniemi. Does anyone know how I can get there with public transportation? Would I be forced to go back to Oslo and then through Stockolm in order to get to Kiruna by train? Finally would I be also forced to take the ferry at Stockholm in order to get to Finland and then take the train to Rovaniemi?  If anyone else has done this route or a similar one and has some input or someone whose from there could help me I would apreciate it very much. Thank you!

Seat location in the wagon from Berlin to Prague

Hi. Having difficulty finding the location of train seats.  I am booked on the EuroCity 379 from Berlin to Prague and have been assigned seats "Pl. 93 94, 2 middle, table".  Are these aisle seats that are part of a table for 4? The only seat layout I can find shows 93 and 94 as aisle seats but they are not part of a table setup.  Thanks for any help/guidance!

Using pass after inbound journey

Hi everyone. Here’s my situation:I have an Interrail Global Pass with 15 days in 2 months When I will do my inbound journey back home, I might not have used all the days included in the pass Let’s say I have used 12 days and then I do inbound journey (it counts as 1 day?) so I have used 13 days. My question is: do I still have the right to use the 2 remaining days? Of course I can’t repeat an outbound journey, but I can pay a full ticket for the outbound and once I’m out of my country, can I use Interrail Pass normally until using all the available days?Thanks in advance for any help you can provide 🤗

Transfer time between SJ Nord trains Norway

Hi all!Does anyone have any experience with making a connection between SJ Nord trains? I read you need a minimum of 60 minutes(!) before they guarantee any alternative methods if you miss a connection because of delays. Is it too risky to have an 11 minute connection with their trains?Here’s the journey I have in mind:

Refund for Pass

After buying a eurail pass and activating it, I discovered that there were no eurail reservations available on the train I need to take so I would like a refund.  However, I can’t ask for a refund because I have started a trip and can’t delete the trip because the website will not let me delete the traveler (me) from it.  How do I delete the traveler/trip so I can request a refund?
