Eurostar unabe to reserve seats from Amsterdam to Antwerp

Hi Everyone, Looking for some insight on the below:I’m trying to book reservation from Amsterdam to Antwerp for 22nd April 2024. We have got a 7 day Eurail pass. While I was searching for train times, I never got an error and since I’ve purchased the pass and I’m going into the reservation tool, I’m getting the errors.I’m getting the following error for 8:15 train. But train at 10:11 is available:  B-Europe:It doesn’t even show 8:15 since I have a 2nd class pass.If I choose that I have 1st class pass, it shows that there is a train. With Second Class Pass:With 1st class pass(which I don’t have):  And below is what I see on trainline: So I can get a ticket on trainline but then i won’t be using the pass for that journey.Questions:Is it possible that all the eurail passholder tickets are already sold out for 8:15 train ? From today it’s 117 days untill 22nd April. Is it possible that 2nd class bucket is not yet released only for 8:15 train? Since I can see 1st class tickets available in

Why can't I find trains between Porto, Portugal and Santiago de Compostela?

We are planning our train schedules for Spain and Portugal this summer. We find trains for all of our travels except for Porto to Saniago de Compostela to Segovia in July. No trains come up for this route. Up to Porto and Segovia into France show trains in July so I would not think that it is schedules aren’t available. Any thoughts?

Reservation TGV Paris to Barcelona

Dear everyone,I am trying to book a reservation from Paris to Barcelona using my Interral 2nd class pass. However, the interrail websites say that prices are unavailable. I assume that means that all passholder availabilities are used up? In other forum posts, I read the recommendation to call SCNF and try booking that way. However, according to the interrail website, they only accept American Express as payment, which I do not have.On the SCNB website I found only first class reservations for the date I need to travel. But I presume it’s not possible to book that with my 2nd class pass/to upgrade it for one reservation?Thank you very much in advance! Any help is much appreciated.Eva

Last pass day

My daughter and I have a 4 day in 1 month global pass. We have travelled from Manchester to Euston, St Pancras to Paris, Paris to Barcelona and Barcelona to Alicante. We travelled over 3 days. We will fly back to Manchester from Alicante, leaving one travel day left on our passes. Is there a definitive answer please as to whether we can use our last pass day once we return home? I have asked a similar question previously, but felt using the last day on a separate trip was a little frowned upon, but it’s a free day on my pass, that I’ve paid for and could still use. Could we travel to London from Manchester, for example, using the pass, and then pay for a single ticket the next day to get home?

Greek Island Pass 30% Discount

Hey all, I recently purchased the Eurail Greek Island pass for 4 travel days using the Blue Star ferries. I am confused about the 30% discount. Once I have used my 4 travel days and need to book additional ferry trips, does the 30% discount apply to any ferry company that operates in Greece? Or does it only apply to the Attica group ferries (Blue star, Hellenic seaways and Superfast ferries)?Thanks in advance for the help!

How to travel out of Switzerland multiple times with a Global Pass and avoid outbound/inbound journey?

I’m a resident of Switzerland (Zurich) and plan to travel in England and France during Sept. and Oct. but want to return to Switzerland 3 to 4 times in this period; one outbound/inbound journey is included in the pass which I can use at any time.What I understand so far: to “save” the out/inbound journey I need to buy point-to-point tickets as explained here: https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/what-is-interrail/travel-your-own-countrySo if I take a train from Zurich SBB to Paris via Basel SBB but want to avoid the outbound journey then:I’d need to buy a ticket from Zurich SBB to Basel SBB (the “Grenzbahnhof”) and the journey from Basel SBB to Paris would then be covered by my Global Pass If I take the TGV from Zurich then I’d need to buy a point-to-ticket from Zurich to Basel SBB incl. a seat reservation PLUS a seat reservation from Basel SBB to Paris OR I could take a Swiss train from Zurich to Basel SBB and then get on the TGV in Basel SBB with my Global Pass plus seat rese

One of the legs of your journey is not available anymore. Please try searching for another connection

Hi everyone.I have a 2 month eurail pass and am attempting to reserve seats for trains from Marseille to Avignon on the 13th of August and Avignon to Paris on the 14th. I don't mind what time the train leaves and hence have been attempting all different available trains throughout the days, however, every time I attempt to “proceed to payment” I get a notification stating “One of the legs of your journey is not available anymore. Please try searching for another connection”. I haven't has this issue with any of my other trains, so am unsure why this is occuring.Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Jamie

Mobile Pass - Inbound night train problem

Hi everyone, we are planning to travel from Germany (Frankfurt) to Sweden (Stockholm). We bought the mobile pass and now face the same issue that many seem to have: our night train from Stockholm arrives on 03.01. in Hamburg. Afterwards the app doesn’t allow us to add a train to Frankfurt because “our inbound journey took place on the 2nd”. And while we cross the border to Germany somewhen on the 3rd, the last stop of the train before Hamburg is in Denmark at around 11pm. Therefore the trick to split the journey doesn’t work. Attached screenshots of our connection. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? Many thanks I advance, Tim

Seat Reservation UK

London to York, i am planning to travel this line on a public holiday towards end of next month. Should i reserve a seat well in advance or would i be ok to arrange something within the week prior since there could be changes? I was looking at the LNR website and i don’t know what you would add for a booking reference since there no actual ticket being produced with pass, just QR code.

Questions about pre-purchasing supplements

Hello,  I am travelling from Rome to Dublin in May/June and have my route mapped out and pass booked. I am curious about the supplements.  I know the routes I’ll take but the times I take them might vary. Can I pre-purchase supplements to save the extra fee of purchasing on board and extra time of waiting at the station, and have those supplements be used for any time, or is it route AND time specific?  thank you,KrisDean

Praha-Munchen EC360 delays in the past weeks/month

Hello! I need to take the Praha-Munchen EC360 on August 22nd. But on the DB navigator it says this train most likely will be delayed due to controls at the border and the issues with migrants (if google translate is not wrong).I have a commuting time of 1h15 at Munchen then. Do you think it's too short? Had anyone had any delay with this train before? Because the same message appear for all line connecting Praha to Munchen. This trip is part of my trip from Praha to Zurich.Thanks!

NS Train from Amsterdam to Brussels

It looks like we will be taking an NS train from Amsterdam to Brussels in April due to Eurostar not being available. If I book my tickets for the specific train we want via NS International, even though there is not assigned seating, does this still at least guarantee my place on the train? I am worried about trains being full and us not being able to get on one despite booking tickets in advance. It is the tulip festival weekend, and I am guessing trains will be a bit more crowded during this time so I just want to make sure I am planning accordingly.

Eurail pass isn't worth it if you're mostly traveling to and from France

I'd like to complain about any Eurail pass but especially the Global Eurail monthly pass and it's workings in France. I would not recommend using it if you're main travels are in and out of France.The whole point of the Eurail pass is having flexibility in your travels  and between trips but sadly it really isn't possible. It is absurd to me that I had to pay that much money for a free pass but I had to waste 2 whole travel days only to purchase train tickets inside of France (coming from Switzerland) and spend even more money because the pass isn't really helpful while traveling in France.Now setting aside the fact that why should I even have to pay extra for a reservation, it is impossible to make the reservations online (especially for trains running to Paris). I tried going to a few large train stations in Switzerland and Germany and they could not help either. I had to ride to a large train station in France, waste 2 whole travel days and also pay extra.

Can't book seat reservation Paris-Milan. How to book?

Hi guys, I have 2 question, the first one follows:Like written on the title of this topic, i cannot buy a seat reservation for a TGV Paris-Milan. I’ve got the same problem before for Amsterdam-Paris but resolved with https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/Pass#TravelWish   Unfortunately this site don’t allow to make a seat reservation Paris-Milan.Anyone knows about other sites to do this? I’m also thinking about to make a seat reservation in a ticket office in Paris but i’ve never did it before and i’m scared of not be able to do it when i will be there (maybe no seats avaiable or something else), so my second question is:anyone have experience on make seat reservation last minute into a station? It’s possible or better avoid this solution? If matter, I have a paper pass (no mobile), I specify it just in case there is any differenceThank you all for your tips!!

Everything is more expensive, except the global pass?

Last year I bought a Global Pass 1st class (15 days in 2 months) and it costed 680 euros (just checked my bank account). Maybe I want to buy this pass again this year, so I checked and I noticed the price is 657 euros, 23 euros less. Of course cheaper is nice, but since everything has become more expensive, I wonder if this price is the correct one. Anyone who can tell me?

URGENT: Pass Cover Number for seat reservation (Mobile Pass)

I see that that somebody have been lucky to get the pass cover number directly by asking here in the forum. Hope someone can help me.Best regards,Andreas Drejer
