Can't book seat reservation Barcelona to Valencia via Eurail

I’m tying to book seat reservations for 4 from Barcelona Sants to Valencia Sorolla on June 24 but the specific train time (18:15) I need (that is listed on RENFE site and on Rail Europe) is not listed on Eurail so I can not reserve my seats. I called Renfe and they said Eurail pass holders can only book that train 3 days in advance-- is this true? Also he said there were 125 seats left for that particular time but couldn’t tell me out of how many total so I don’t know if this is good or bad for my chances of getting a seat if I wait until I am in Spain to reserve? I will be traveling from Montpellier to Barcelona earlier that day and need to connect to that specific train to get to Valencia. Does anyone have any tips, advice or experience with this? Thank you!

Reservation starting location

Hi:) i am really new to interrail and really excited about it. However i have a small problem.so i booked a reservation a few weeks ago from Amsterdam Centraal to London. However, my plans have slightly changed and at the date of this journey I am in Bruxelles instead of in Amsterdam. Is it possible to board the train (where I have a seat reservation from Amsterdam to London) also from Bruxelles (which is two stops after Amsterdam)? Or will the reservation not be valid if you do not board the train at the station of your reservation?thankss if anyone has the answer to my question:) have a lovely evening🥰

Won't let me book reservations when it says I need to? Badajoz - Madrid Puerta de Atocha

 Hello! I’ve been having a hard time using both the Eurail website, as well as their mobile app. I am finally seeing trains schedules for my travel days this month, and many of my needed trains say “seat reservations required.” However, when I go to reserve seats, it won’t let me. It says I cannot book reservations online, and I can do it alternatively in person. I am worried about trains being fully booked, and being unable to travel to my destinations on time. Does anyone know if it’s risky to book the trains that say “seat reservations required” day of, and in person? Or, does anyone know a work around for how to actually book these seats in advance?  Any advice is much appreciated, thank you!

Can I make reservations via Oebb with Italy one country pass?

Hi!I’ve seen this question asked but can’t find a definitive response anywhere. Can I still make reservations via oebb if I only have a one country pass for Italy?When selecting discount, it only gives a Interrail / Eurail - Globalpass option.

The date of birth on my pass is incorrect, what should I do?

I start travelling next week and the date of birth on my pass is incorrect. My friend ordered two passes one for me and one for him, but the date of birth on my pass is incorrectly the same as his. I have contacted customer support but need answers quickly, should I try refund the pass and get a new one? This depends how quick passes are refunded. Or how can I change the date of birth? This is URGENT!

Best way to go from Paris to Madrid

Is there any trains I could take from Paris, have a connection somewhere and then have a night train from that city that would arrive in Madrid the next day? I’m trying to fit this trip into one travel day. I found a night train from Paris to Narbonne and then narbonne to Madrid but we would change after midnight so that’s a second travel day. Thanks.

Paris Montparnasse to Bordeux train glitch - wrong time

Hi I made five seat reservations yesterday for the Paris to Bordeaux Train ( In August )  There is a glitch, which means that when I select the 17.11 train, the 16.11 train is indicated ( screenshot attached )  however when you fo through to review order, the 17.11 is indicated again. My reservations have arrived, but they are for the 16.11, which is too early for our connection. Is there a helpline/ email address I can contact to correct this?  Has anybody else experienced the same problem?  Thank you Faye

Can I make reservations even though online reservation closed

I will travel around Europe for the first time with Interrail Pass this week.My plan starts from Krakow, and move to Warsaw, Berlin and Paris. When I checked the booking page of Interrail website, most bookings of international trains were already closed so I was worried about not taking any trains there. Can I make reservations at ticket offices in Poland and Germany even though online booking were closed?

Reservations. Enough time when making reservations in person?

Hi,As it seem to be almost impossible to reserve seats in France and Spain, either it is not possible, or it is, or its just sent by post, how much time is needed to reserve in person?For example, if I arrive in Perpignan the 15th June, will I most likely? be able to book reservation on a train from Perpignan to Zaragoza the 17th?(SNCF) I mean, that's almost 2 days from I arrive in Perpignan, till I leave. Before Perpignan, I will be in Strasbourg for one night (14th-15th), if I go to the ticket office there (14th), will I be able to book reservations there? now its 3 days before?  is it not enough time? who are all these people booking up all reservations, in person! all over Europe? :))) Im traveling with a small dog, so its making me a little bit extra stressed over the situation.

Budapest - Prague Night train reservation on MAV (Hungarian website) - no interrail discount available

I am trying to make a reservation from Budapest to Prague by the night train. On the Hungarian website MAV, when I added the interrail pass to my train cards, the price for a 2nd class seat reads 58.9EUR, and i believe there is no discount at all (the same price as without the interrail pass):   (btw what is this 57.9eur “europa flex cz” thing? there is no way to deselect it.) I tried to book on the CZ website as well, but there is no 2nd class seat option. So how do i correctly reserve a 2nd class seat for the Budapest - Prague night train? Cheers, Terry

Issues with Rail Planner with imported journey

Hello!I have recently started interrail with a two month pass and have encountered a lot of issues that are quite stressful, since they prevent me from getting the trip qr code I need to board trains (although not always).My partner shared with me a trip he had created and I associated that trip with the interrail pass when I activated it. After that, when I checked my trip I saw the trip was fully empty (no trips added) even tough before they were there. From there multiple issues started:When i add a trip to my trip often times it doesn’t display in the trip details - after force closing the app or restarting my phone then the trips show up (often several duplicates, I guess from all the times I added them before) when I click in the QR code icon in a trip, and then head over to my pass, the day pass is not displayed (only the add a trip for this day message).Ive managed to get around this so far with a combination of using airplane mode, restarting my phone and a lot of different at

Issues with Reservations ''prices are currently unavailable'' error

Hi Everyone,I’m sure you guys have had plenty of questions like this so far, but I’m at my wit’s end here. I’ve had no END of problems with my Pass, and this latest one is infuriating. I’ve been trying to book a trip from Venice to Verona on June 17th for DAYS now. Every single time, there has been a ‘prices are currently unavailable’ error. Other sites still have tickets available, so I know they aren’t sold out: moreover, the entire DAY will not load. I’ve already had to buy multiple tickets on other websites, defeating the purpose of this pass, and I’ll be damned if I lose more money to this. Any ideas?

Traveling freely within all countries during 10 travel days?

Hello fellow travellers. I am interested in going from Denmark (Aarhus) To Spain (Valencia) to visit some friends. On the way I want to stop in Germany and France, before i travel back to Denmark. I can’t get in contact with the support, so I am hoping this community can help answer my questions.If I buy the global pass (10 days within 2 months), will I then be able to travel all the way from Aarhus to Valencia and back to Aarhus with a large backpack and a guitar, on any days I choose within 2 months from my departure? On the interrail map, the only station in Denmark seems to be Copenhagen.Is there any parts of the trip that is not included in the global pass? Or can i travel freely within all countries during my 10 travel days?
