Night train Budapest to Bucuresti. Is there a way to make this reservation without the need for a paper ticket?

Hey all!I'm having some problems to make 3 reservations for a 6 sleeping cabin on the night train from Budapest to Bucuresti. The train I’m wanting to reserve leaves Budapest at 19.10 on the 14th of august and arrives at 11.59 on the 15th of august in Bucharest. Is there a way to make this reservation without the need of a paper ticket, since I am already on my way.Thanks!Kasper

Digital pass cover number?

I have digital interrail pass for me and my teen-age son. We are travelling from PARIS to ANTIBES in a few days. The online booking service asks for interrail pass cover number, but that can only be found on paper version. We don’t have paper version. The eurail number generator produced a cover number, but that doesn’t work. How to reserve seat in this situation? TGV phone line doesnt answer, just playing songs…

Doubt about the refund in the exchange of pass

Hello, for personal reasons I will not be able to make the Interrail trip that I had planned for this August. I received the pass thanks to the raffle carried out by DiscoverEU, and I would like to use it in the summer of 2023. To do this, since this year's pass will expire, I have read that an exchange is necessary, and I have to buy a new pass first, and later, contact you for the refund of the older Interrail pass. My question is that, if I have received the trip through DiscoverEU, I am also entitled to this exchange and subsequent reimbursement, in order to be able to carry out my long-awaited trip in the summer of 2023. Thank you in advance.

Wrong country of residence for my 10-year old son, travelling in 2 days!

Hi, we have a urgent issue. We are travelling in 2 days with our 3 children. All have the correct country of residence (NL) except for our son who erroneously has country of residence Ukraine in the booking. Last week we asked for support to have this error undone and to change this to Netherlands but so far have not received a response. His card has not been activated yet (for the rest it has been activated).Is there anyone who can please help solve this problem before Wednesday?Thanks very much in advance!!! 🙏Kind regards, Jorieke

Seat reservations unavailable to pass holders

So, when is this scam called seat reservations going to stop? I paid for an international ticket, and formally there were no seat reservations available, yet there were seats free inside. This is criminal and couldn’t let that happen so I sat down in the Thalys to France anyways. Train driver comes, I explain him, and I pay 30 euro’s on board like I would when reserving a seat. Sometimes people don’t even need a seat so legally you don’t need a seat reservation then. Can we please fix this scamming practice happening preventing many people from traveling as they want?

Seat reservation on train from Hamburg (Germany) to Malmö (Sweden)- conflicting info on if reservations is required

Hello everyone,We have a question about our interrail pass. In the app it says there is no seat reservation required for our train form Hamburg (Germany) to Malmö (Sweden). However, on the website of DB (train in Germany) it says a seat reservation is required. Can we still go with this train but then sit somewhere on the ground / still available seats or is that not aloud and is a seat reservation absolutely necessary? Thanks in advance! Kind regards,Marc & Emma

Night train from Prague To Budapest - one or two trains and travel day count

I know a different question has been asked before. the rail planner app and interrail reservation site have the train listed as two seperate trains, propably changes at the border. bought the reservation/ticket for a sleeper via the czech railway website, which lists it as one train. sooo … does that count as one travel day or two since the “second” train starts at 4:55??

From Sicily to London: no option to book night train on Mobile Interrail Pass, and travel in Sicily

Hi,3 issues I hope someone has experience of and answers to:we’re looking to travel over night from Messina back to the UK on 21 September (2 of us) but the Interrail app (Global Pass) is only giving me options with about 10 or so changes! When I look on Trenitalia, there are Frecciarossa and Frecciargento sleepers with just 1 or 2 changes but no option to book/reserve with interrail (none that I can see - have looked at all the discount options but no Interrail). How do I book a sleeper from Messina to London (stopping in Milan or Turin for the night)? in sicily itself, what’s the best way of getting from Trapani to Siracusa stopping off in Piazza Armerina (or Enna) on the way? Looks like buses are the best option, but maybe you’ve found a good rail route? would a ferry - with or without interrail - from Milazzo/Messina back to mainland Italy and then a train back to London from Naples or Rome be better?Thanks for any suggestions,Julia

Eurostar with 1st class pass - advantages?

Are there any advantages buying a 1st class pass regarding coming back to the UK on Eurostar?  I’ve seen that using the standard pass only gives you access to certain tickets, which once they’re gone, they’re gone.  How does that work with a 1st class pass?

Bari - Lecce leg of the Rimini - Lecce journey does not show in the ticket. Is that enough to get on the train?

tempo fa ho creato un biglietto Rimini-Lecce, la tratta Bari-Lecce non è nel biglietto perchè è un treno regionale. Per poter salire su questo treno basta il Qr code che ho creato dall’app?

Urgent: Pass Cover Number for seat reservation (mobile pass)

I'm trying to make a seat reservation for the TGV 6035 from Paris Gare de Lyon to Montpellier Saint-Roch at 15:12-18:41 on 22/05. The Eurail website says that prices are unavailable for this train.  If I try to book through travel.b-europe.com instead, there are still some available seats. However, in order to book my seat, the website requests a Pass Cover number in the "Ticket Details" section. Since I have a mobile Eurail pass, I do not have a Pass Cover number and am unable to complete the reservation. How can I receive a Pass Cover Number? Is there an alternative way to book a seat on this train?
