Questions about seat reservations

HelloFirst of all I would like to know if there is a phone server. 1. How can we know that the reservation has been validated? Is it when the seat reservation fee has been paid, or just when the trip has been entered in the application and in the pass?2. When do I have to pay to reserve the seats?3. And once paid, is it modifiable and/or cancellable?4. I have seen that on your site for seat reservations, for some routes it is impossible to reserve (e.g. for Spain, or when there is an error message "No fare has been found for this connection. Please perform a new search or find another reservation method"). What should I do in this case?5. Also, sometimes it says "Seat availability unknown", what does this mean?6. How can I get two passengers to sit next to each other on the train, knowing that both passes are registered on the app on two different phones? Thank you in advance.

Seat reservations not required, but prices are unavailable. Can I get on or is it full? Croatia night train

Hi! So we were looking to get a night train from Zagreb to Split, it says :“You're ready to board. You can buy a seat reservation if you like but it's not required.”But then underneath it it says: “Prices unavailable. No price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board.” Does this mean we could turn up on the day and get on without a reservation or does it mean it is fully sold out? Any help would be appreciatedThanks!

OBB seat reservation vs one way ticket

Hi! I recently purchased a Eurail pass and I was planning to make several overnight trips. However, I am quite confused wrt to making seat reservations on the OBB website. I have quite a bit of confusion regarding “one-way tickets” vs “seat only”. I have already purchased seat reservations for all legs of the journey for 3Euros each, apart from the Nightjet train(which I could not make a seat reservation) but I am unsure if I need a one-way ticket instead. Was wondering if anyone could provide advice regarding my trip? :) Amsterdam to Berlin Intercity 60403: Amsterdam to Duisburg Hbf Intercity express 949: Duisburg Hbf to Berlin Hbf Berlin to Vienna Intercity 95: Berlin to Wien  Vienna to Venice Option 1(which I may have booked wrongly) Railjet Xpress 764: Wien to Salzburg Nightjet 40463: Salzburg to Venice Option 2 Nightjet 40466: Wien to Venice  Thank you so much!!!

Why is Igoumenitsa not a valid destination?

Hello guys :)I want to book my first pass here in eurail.I want to visit Igoumenitsa in Greece. I searched the map and Igoumenitsa is listed as the destination.However, I cannot specify Igoumenitsa as a destination in the travel times section (no trains are found).Are there any tricks to reach Igoumenitsa anyway with a Global pass?The algorithm found a route to Bari. I would need a ferry than to reach Igoumenitsa. Do I have to book the ferry then spontaneously? When “yes”, can I be sure, that my Europass is counting for the ferry?Thanks for your help in advance!

Trenord - not in pasnetwork

The interrail app show by the train Mandello Del Lario - Olcio: not in passnetwork. But in my opinon is that not correct. In my information: is just a trenord train, right? And also in other trennord trains is interrail vallid. Why interrail would be not vallid in the train Lecce - Olcio???

Can't book seat reservation Germany - Poland

I’ll be travelling tomorrow the 14th June from Berlin to Gdansk; I’ve checked and there are still available tickets and plenty available seats! However I’m not able to able to just book a seat reservation online on PKPs website, I also can’t book a seat reservation via DB’s hotline as they would have to mail it to my address, which won’t work in this case. My last option is to get a seat reservation via DB ticket centres (Reisezentrum), however this too seems to not work at the moment as the person working there did not manage to get a seat reservation (seems to be impossible both for tomorrow and any other day in the coming weeks). So now I am a bit clueless of what to do? Cos officially it should definitely be possible to get a seat reservation via the DB ticket centres? What are my options tomorrow?

Reservation for Glacier Express open 93 days before the departure date?

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows the exact time when the seat reservation for Glacier Express opens 93 days in advance. I thought it would be open by midnight 93 days before the departure date, but it already passed midnight and I kept refreshing the booking page, it still says “Travel date too far in the future. You can only book 93 days in advance.” The latest date available is May 18 so far, however, I need to book for May 19. The first class seats of the earlier train seem to be very popular and the good seats are sold out pretty fast as soon as the booking opens. I can't really sit in front of the laptop and keep refreshing the booking page for hours until it opens. So any chance, anyone here knows the exact open time? Thank you so much :)

Delay and changes close to midnight. Does that cost an extra travel day?

Hi! I’m planning a trip through Europe. I want to take a train from Berlin to Copenhagen, with a change in Hamburg at 23:56. If the previous train is not in time and I have to take the next train on the next day, does it count as 2 days of travel, or the travel day refers at the scheduled time?

Seat Reservation Problems with TGV in France

Hello Guys,me and 3 friends want to visit France in May. Therefore we have bought an interrail ticket. We want to travel from Dresden main station (Germany) to Nantes main station (France) on the 12th of May with a departure  at 8:12. The seat reservation from Paris to Nantes is no problem but the reservation from Frankfurt main station / Karlsruhe main station is not possible. We tried booking it in the rail planner app and via the website but it doesn't work. We have read in this forum thread https://community.eurail.com/train-connections-reservations-47/seat-reservation-at-sncf-1145 that we potentially need a pass cover number. The question is: Do we need this number to book this route or are there any other problems. And additionally: If we need this number to book this route can you explain how it is done? Thanks in advance for your help.Sunny greetings from GermanyWeWi

Pass cover number always incorrect

Hello all, I am trying to book reservations online which I really need to do soon but the interface always says“Your Pass cover number doesn't look right”I already tried out all numbers I could find on my paper pass and in the online reservation. Issuer is DB (CIV 1080), as it says on the pass. Could the issue maybe be that I did not purchase the pass myself but the travel department of my employer did it?

Night trains from Budapest to Ljubljana - how can we book?

How can we purchase a seat reservation for the IC928 from Budapest to Ljubljana on the 27th August at 20:29 o‘clock?? Cannot do it online. Is it possible to purchase a ticket at a ticket office in Budapest? Any experiences?  The MÁV train website offers me one 21€ ticket for the train with a seat reservation included for 1€. How can I only buy the 1€ seat reservation ticket without having to buy the full ticket as I am a global Interrail pass holder?

Reserving seats via Italiarail using Mobile Pass - Italiarail no longer provides reservation services?

Hello, a friend of mine managed to get the pass holder number from Eurail despite having a mobile pass. He then managed to book his tickets via Italiarail https://app.italiarail.com/itinerary and received his reservation confirmations. However, I recalled emailing Italiarail’s customer service and they mentioned that they no longer provide reservation services for Eurail passholders as they are going mobile.Does anyone here know if train conductors will still recognize seat reservations booked via Italiarail even though the user holds a Eurail mobile pass? We are worried that we might not be able to board the train as we do not hold physical passes despite receiving the confirmation email.

Crossing borders during covid

Hi there! It is my first time travelling to Europe. With the current covid restrictions in place, can I still use Eurail to get between countries in Europe, or can it only be used within a single country?I am triple vaccinated and therefore will be able to obtain a vaccine certificate.  I understand that different countries have slightly different rules regarding entry criteria. Therefore I’m wondering how the trains are operating at the moment to uphold these rules. For example, would I still be able to catch a train from Greece to Croatia if I met all the correct requirements for each country? I.e vaccine certificate, and negative covid test. Who checks these when the train crosses the borders into new countries? Thank you for your helpKind regards, Loren

Lost iPhone with lost mobile pass

Hey, My phone got stolen this weekend which had my mobile pass activated on it. I’m set to travel on Friday but I’m unable to activate my pass on a new device. I have used two methods of contact on the website and they said to wait roughly 4 and 7 days for a reply. I’m worried that I won’t get a reply and sort out my pass before my travel start on Friday (27/08).  Please can anyone provide any help or advice on how to get this sorted before Friday?  Thanks a lot in advance!
