problem with seat reservation in germany

I want to go from hamburg altona to copenhagen on 21st july (seat reservation required on interrail website).On interrail website seat reservations are not possible to make because of errors so i tried on DB website but i saw this type of error on db site:booking via www.bahn.de is not available for this connection. This is most often the case when it comes to regional trains, short distance trains or trains with a reservation obligation

Night Train from Halkali to Sofia

Hi, I hope I can get some help with the following questions.I understand that when travelling on a night train, I will only have to use 1 travel day (the day of departure). However, for the Halkali - Sofia night train, where there is a need to disembark at Kapikule for passport control, is the train ride still counted as one travel day? Also, on the Rail planner, the currently available itinerary for the Halkali - Sofia route consists of a train change at Plovdiv. Does anyone know if the direct train that departs at 2240 (during winter) is still running? I have reserved a sleeper cabin on a NightJet that departs the station at 2313. Should there be a delay in the departure time of the train such that it departs after 2359, do I have to use another travel day or will the original date be taken as my travel day?I have bought a 7-day flexible pass and my current travel plan unfortunately does not leave room for any buffer day so your answers would help me determine if there is a need to m

Cannot reserve train tickets online in Greece train

In Athens to Thessaloniki, eurail states that it needs to reserve seats. Its website cannot reserve. And its how to ask us to book online. Then it's local train web site doesn't have this pass actually. So you MUST go to the train station counter for this. I dont understand how difficult it is to update this piece of important nformation in nowadays information world. It can be very hectic to find it out. So just a tips for the others.

Travelling from London to Liverpool with Eurail Global Pass

Hello there,I’m arriving in London and I need to get to Liverpool. I was planning on using my Eurail Global Pass (which I will be using for visiting other countries). The problem is that the only option recommended is a train from London to Liverpool of Avanti West Coast, and I don’t understand if my Eurail Global pass includes this franchise. Is this true? If not, how can I benefit from the pass within London and Liverpool, since I will be travelling a lot between these two cities? Thank you so much.

Seat reservations

Hi there, I'm travelling around Europe for the first time using the Global pass for two months. I'm starting from Portugal then to Spain, France, and then Italy and possibly to Croatia. I'm having a problem reserving seats through the app. It says that for some countries reservation is only allowed at the station ie can't do it in advance online. Wondering if people found it relatively easy reserving at train stations or what the process was like? I've read that Spain can be tricky but there seems to be no other option to reserve in advance. I have alot of places that I'm going to visit around Spain so would be great to get some more clarity!Many Thanks :)

Another Hamburg to Copenhagen thread

Hi,I was trying to book a seat reservation for the IC 394 form Hamburg → Copenhagen on the Eurail site and https://www.bahn.de/ but had problems like others. I read this post I was hoping to clarify what to do.Is this the website to book on https://travel.b-europe.com/dsb-rail/en/reservation-only#TravelWish? Does that get you all the way from Hamburg → Copenhagen and back again?Or do you need to split up the journey and make seat reservations on the Germany side and then on the Denmark side? Thanks

Unexpected routes/companies where Interrail is valid

Hey,would be cool to make a collection of routes/companies where you wouldn’t expect that Interrail is valid.I am starting with:Citybahn Chemnitz: on the trams with C before the digits you can use your Interrail also on the innercity tram. ATTENTION: it is not on the tramlines valid, that use exactly the same route which are operated by CVAG. Trambahia (Cadiz): it is operated by RENFE so you can use your Interrail pass. But you should get a ticket ahead from the ticket office in Cadiz. If you are boarding at a non-manned station I don’t know how it works.Looking forward to more interesting opportunities ;-)

St Gotthard Blockage impact

The recent derailment in the St Gotthard tunnel is likely to impact the EuroCity service between Zurich and Milan. I’ve got a reservation on the Zurich → Milan EC for the evening of 1st Sept. TrenItalia is being unclear, suggesting that normal service may be restored by then. Public media suggests otherwise.My problem is a connection to the ongoing sleeper from Milan → Bari.Does anyone have better information on the service impact? CheersAhado

Ferry as a travelday

My friend and I want to take the ferry from Italy to Greece, which is free with out global pass. Something that we cannot find exactly is that the free ferry will cost a travel day. So our question is: do you have to use a travel day to take the ferry between Italy and Greece (the free ferry)?

First Class seat reservation showing as N/A

Hi all,First time traveller on the Eurail. My wife and I just purchased first class tickets and will be traveling through all of August.When I try to book some things like London to Amsterdam for example, a seat reservation is required and there is an option for a first class and second class seat reservation, but when I try booking from Amsterdam to Munich and Munich to Milan which are both overnight trips there is no option for a first class reservation, only a second class option, the first class reservation just comes up as N/A on the Rail Journey App. Is this because first class seats are all taken or another reason? I have added my pass to the app but have not activated it does this matter? Any help on this topic and anything else would be a massive help, including any experience with first class travel and if it is worth it Thanks in advance!Jesse

Can't book seat on Eurocity between Visp and Milano

We are trying to get to Rome, Italy from Visp, Switzerland on July 2nd. Thanks to this community, I found the workaround on OEBB.AT and I can book the leg from Milano to Rome, but it won’t let me book the section from Visp to Milano. It keeps on saying “Ticket not Available”.  We have the Eurail ticket (ignore the German).  Even when I remove the Eurail discount, it still shows the ticket as not being available. Yet, when I look on ItaliaRail, I can book that segment. Why is that train not available for booking on OEBB.AT? (or anywhere outside of SBB or Italia Rail)? View when trying to book on OEBB.AT Same results when trying to book the full price ticket You can book it on Italia Rail

Interrail Eurail pass purchase failed

Hi,I tried to buy an Interrail Eurail pass (Interrail Passen: verken Europa per trein! | Interrail.eu) for me and my friend a couple of minutes ago. I went to pay with Ideal, finished the entire thing and then got an error. (Something with ‘failed’ and ‘contact customer service’). However on Eurail's site I can't find any form of customer service except for an automatic bot that fails to answer anything at all. (sorry bot)The 370 euros have been withdrawn from my bank account, but I haven't received the confirmation e-mail nor does my account display my pass when I log in. Does anyone know where I can get my money back, or has this happened to anyone else?
