Munich to Venice ECB85 (or ECB81) - 1st Class Seat Reservations Not an Option?

My wife and I have 3-month Global Pass 1st Class. So far, so good, but after patiently waiting for prices for seat reservations to appear for late October 2023, it looks like the only option for a seat reservation on the ECB85 Direct from Munich to Venice is 2nd Class. This could mean one of two or three things: 1. 1st Class pass holders don’t need a seat reservation and “you are ready to board” really applies. 2. 1st Class pass holders cannot reserve a 1st class seat and may or may not get a 1st class seat depending on availability. Or maybe 3. There are no 1st class seats on the ECB85? I think #3 doesn’t apply because I checked Seat 61 and there are photos. I’m wondering if I want comfort and piece-of-mind:, A. Do I have to reserve 2nd Class? Or, B. I should stop worrying and just show up for my ECB85 train without a seat reservation because there should be two first class seats available on the ECB85 from Munich to Venice in late October? Appreciate your thoughts on this an

Reservations for Intercity Notte Bologna – Lecce

Hello!I am planning a trip that involved the Italian night train from Bologna Centrale to Lecce and since I’d like to just use the travel day that I’ve already started that day, I’d prefer taking the night train before midnight, ICN 765, instead of the faster ICN 755 that leaves after midnight. However, when I am trying to find it on the Railplanner search engine it only ever shows up until Bari where I’m supposed to change to a Regionale that would be faster than staying onboard the ICN765 – but would mean a new travel day or an extra ticket even though the night train actually continues to Lecce.There seems to be no way of getting Railplanner to show me the whole trajectory to Lecce even though it definitely exists – Railplanner itself shows Lecce as the final destination.Does anyone know how to fix this or has experience with the route? I’m wondering if it would be acceptable to just stay on the couchette for the last three hours since nobody would be taking it anway? (But it wouldn

Error making reservations - Hamburg Hbf to Copenhagen

Hi, I’m trying to book a seat reservation from Hamburg Hbf to Copenhagen on the 7th of August but it is not letting me as the message, ‘Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later or find another connection. This connection will be removed from your cart.’ keeps showing up for all the train times. I have tried all the possible times for this date and they all end up on this page when I try to pay. Any solutions?

how are seat reservations checked in ICE from germany to paris?

Hello, i have a reservation in the ICE from Frankfurt to Paris Est. Nevertheless I cannot enter that train in Frankfurt since my commuting train changed its plan and doesn’t stop in Frankfurt anymore. Next option is for me to enter the same train in Mannheim. Now I have the question how my seat reservation will be controlled and whether it’s still valid then? I am a bit unsure since it’s a mandatory thing to go to France and all other seat reservations are booked out

'One of the legs of your journey could not be booked' (Paris to Cassis, 10/08/23)

Hi all, Kiwi here attempting to book train seats from Paris to Cassis on the 10th August for myself and my travel mate. We both have the EUrail 2nd class pass, however, when going to reserve our seats through the EUrail seat reservation we get the infamous ‘no longer available’ message.I have checked the b-europe.com availablity and there doesn’t appear to be any trains available to reserve seats on this day.Is there any other sites to check for seat reservations or is it just EUrail.com and b-europe.com?Have we simply left it too late and there are not seats available to reserve? or am I missing something?Any alternatives for trains/booking methods is greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Are you ready for an overnight train journey?Article

Hugo, our Eurail/Interrail Product Specialist, seasoned traveler and self-labeled train nerd, had the opportunity to ride the European Sleeper on their inaugural trip in June. We sat down with him to get all the details about the train and the route. What was the first thing that left an impression on you?It is a classic train. The sleeper cars were built in the 50’s, and most of them have a window you can open. Train lovers will definitely love this feature. The views were excellent. These old trains are rare so this is a unique train to travel on. By taking the European Sleeper, you can see Western and Eastern Europe on the same trip! How were the staff onboard?Super friendly and professional! They welcomed passengers on board and explained how everything worked. They were more like hosts than train staff, which was great for newbies. Did they serve food and drinks?Yes, offerings included soft drinks, a weizen, and croissants for breakfast. There was no dining car, so passengers had

Amount of Trips

Hi everyone,i’m going soon on a france Tour (France-Germany Pass) which says it has 7 travel days, what i’d like to know is: can i take as many trains as i want on a travel day or one journey for each of these 7 days within a month ? Second question: I know the pass can be linked to only ONE trip, but is it possible to change the journeys even after connecting that trip to the pass ? because i’m not sure if i want to go to Marseille or Lyon as the last trip) i’m grateful for any help!

activation

Our departure is coming up. Friday is the day and we are very excited. I have initiated our ÖBB train tickets and my global passes say they are ready to travel, so I am assuming there is nothing more to do with that. I don’t see a spot where it says to do anything with SNCB. Does anyone know if I have to activate them?

i didnt received my refund

I wanted to exchange this 7-day passe for a 5-day pass, so, as said on the site (https://www.interrail.eu/en/ interrail-passes/ordering-info/refund-exchange-policy)I bought the 5-day one that I actually needed and I asked the refund of the one that I have bought by mistake (the 7-day one), however I haven't received any confirmation email about the refund and I have not received the money(264-15=249€). Please could you please help me, I don't know if I'm making something wrong or if this just takes a lot of time.

Is it possible to obtain an e-ticket for a seat reservation instead of a paper ticket?

I want to book a seat reservation for a train for next week, but it offers me paper ticket and therefore there is no time for it to arrive at my address. I need it to be e-ticket and have the seat reservation instantly. Can you recommend a solution for my specific case? thank you very much.

Warszawa to Cologne

Hi! I would like to know how I can to arrive from Warszawa to Cologne.We arrive to Warszawa on 11 August at 12:00 am and we have to take a plane in Cologne 13 August at 6:10 am. We don't know how to do this route because the trains I find require a reservation but they are full and they don't allow reservations. Do you know where I can book separately? Do you know of any alternative routes through other countries that give us time to arrive?Thank you!Pilar

Seat reservation France

Hi all, I want to go from France to Germany later in August, I tried making the reservation through https://travel.b-europe.com/Eurail-GE/en/booking-tgv#TravelWish, unfortunately, it says that no sits are available with an Interrail pass. What I’m struggling to understand is that it works for Eurail pass. I’m struggling to understand why, any idea ? I guess I cannot book an Eurail sit with an Interrail pass ? Many thanks :)

Can’t find + add trip in Railplanner app

We are currently traveling with an Interrail pass. We’d like to travel on Aug 3rd, 16:42 from Frankfurt Flughafen Fernbf to Utrecht Centraal (arrival 19:59). I booked seat reservations through the OBB-website (€12 for 2 adults + 2 kids for free).Now, I wanted to add this journey in the Railplanner app (to create a QR-code ticket) but can’t find it there.When I go to the Interrail website, I do see the journey. I thought I could probably add this journey (and create a ticket because I’m logged in). Is that even possible through the website?Furthermore, it says on the website that I need to make seat reservations for €32 euro (€6pp + €8 booking fee). But we don’t need that because we already have seat reservations…. Underneath, there’s also another notification saying ‘Additional supplement required’ (boarding or in the train, but it doesn’t say how much?).What should I do?
