Website is Bipolar - reservations; ''prices aren't available

I am trying to book a trip from Offenburg, Germany to London on 26/6. I would prefer to travel through Lille so we don’t have to change train stations. There are options but the site keeps saying pricing/reservations aren’t available at this time. I’ve had this issue daily for the past week...which means I’ve been reserving just 1 trip per day. If I try to schedule more than 1 at a time the website goes crazy slow. I really need to get this scheduled. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Outbound/inbound - what if you don't use them?

Having trouble understanding outbound / inbound travel days, I basically want to know if I can use them at all.  I’m from Ireland and will be flying to The Netherlands, and then flying home from Italy.  Am I able to use my first and last train journeys as inbound/outbound journeys, or would this be invalid as my country of residence is Ireland? Is it just for trains in Ireland for me for example?

I cannot book a seat reservation in general “We can't find any trains that match your search. Please change your search and try again.”

Hello!I have a travel pass for me and my family. But for some reason we cannot make a seat reservation from Kristiansand - Oslo and from Oslo - Bergen and other destinations. Via de app we can see the possible itineraries, but when we go to the website to book (as it is not possible through the app for some reason), I keep receiving this error: “We can't find any trains that match your search. Please change your search and try again.” I have no idea what I am doing wrong, but it is frustrating as we really want to plan our trip.Can someone help me out?

Reservierung bestimmter Plätze

Hallo,ich will über das Interrail-Reservierungssystem in Norwegen Züge reservieren. Meine Frage ist, ob ich irgendwo bestimmte Plätze auswählen kann (zB Fensterplatz)? Auf den Onlineseiten der Unternehmen kann man leider keine Reservierung buchen.

Problem booking reservations

Hi,I really hope you can help me. I need to book reservations for my and the 4 other people in my group to get on the 11:04 Eurostar from London St Pancras to Amsterdam Centraal on 28/06/22 and also the NJ468 Nightjet train from Vienna to Paris on 23/07/22. I seem to be unable to book these on the interrail website or on the websites for the individual railway companies and it's showing an error message that it may be fully booked. I have however seen this error message before when this was not the case. How do I find out of they are in fact fully booked and how can I get on those trains? I really need to be on them.

Train order - do I have to get on a train where I left off?

Is it necessary that I take the next train at the same spot where I left the last one? Or is it allowed to travel otherwise in the meantime. For example: I travel to Berlin, now I chill some days. Does my next ride has to start in Berlin or is it allowed that my next ride is from Amsterd (because I travelled with a car in the meantime for example). Thanks guys!

AVE counter officer at Barcelona Sants request to see the app running on phone to be able to make a seat reservation, declaring this is consigned on the terms and conditions policy? is it true?

I'm having two problems with my Eurail pass: I’m not able to do a seat reservation in one of my journeys specific the one between Barcelona Sants - Madrid Puerta de Atocha on the 13th June 2022. I have contacted Eurail customer service about this, they explained that seat reservation between Barcelona Sants and Madrid Puerta de Atocha, have to be purchase on person at the station counter. However as seat reservations are recommended to be purchase at least two weeks prior to travel date, as not many spots are available for holders of Eurail pass, I don't have the chance to buy it until the day of my arrival and departure (13 June), when I need to continue my trip coming from Paris same day.I asked a relative living in Paris to come to a TGV station to purchase a reservation seat on my name, for Paris - Barcelona journey. The TGV officer was very helpful and seat reservation purchase was success.However, I asked another relative in Barcelona to do the same at AVE office at Barcelona San

Change in the itinerary in case of delay or change of plans?

Hi there!I would like to ask whether the train conncetion of a given day is subject to change. For example, I see in the app that I’d need to add a certain train conncection of a given day/time to my Globalpass. However, can I still travel that same day but in another time in case of delay due to train connection or my plan changes?Thanks a lot!

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.

1. Impossible to receive paper tickets as backpacker 2. Any ways to Avoid Hidden Fees?

Hello All!I hope this reaches you all well :). Two quick but very important questions: How can one reliably get paper tickets (in the case when e-tickets aren’t available) when they do not have an address to receive them (I am not in one place for more than 2-3 nights as a traveller/backpacker)? I’ve seen some suggestions in my searches, but wanted to solidify my understanding of the issue/solutions, because it seems so counter-intuitive to the proposed freedom and flexibility of a Eurail/Interrail pass.  I say 'reliably' because getting paper tickets at train stations as a foreigner seems complicated (e.g., which company or station must I go to, will we be able to converse in the same language effectively?), and more importantly it puts me at risk of trying to book a train too late (e.g., I show up and it's full). Another option I saw recommended: searching through various providers and then calling them. Again, doing this chasing, then maybe waiting on hold, just to get an e-ticket

Travel from Zagreb - Split. How to book?

Hello fellow travellers!I am trying to book the night jet from Zagreb - Split on the 25th of June. I cannot manage to find the prize for the seat reservation or how to book it. Tried with Bahn.de and so on. I looked up previous questions here in the community, and is it correct that this seat reservation can only be made on a Croatian train station? What do you think, should I be worried that the train will be fully booked? Is there any other way for me to secure my seat reservation?Thank you so much for taking your time :)//Sanna

No QR code under view ticket

Hello. I just had an absolutely terrible experience using Rail Europe. I purchased a ticket about two months back and have the app where the confirmation email says my tickets are. I clicked view ticket on the app and no QR code appears for the conductor to scan. The conductor would not accept my ticket without this code even though I paid for the ticket. She charged me for another ticket that was much more expensive and was very rude to me about not having the QR code for her to scan. Rail Europe can you help me with this? I need to be refunded as I already purchased the ticket with you guys.

Calling all Eurail App users! Issues with the App?

Please let me know if you have any issues with the App:no issues some issues a lot of issues!! also, what type of phone (iPhone, Android, etc.) you are using the version of the App you are running.I have a new iPhone 13 Pro Max (iOS version 15.4.1; app version 23.1.0) and the App will NOT save my journeys. It’ll save the first journey but I’m unable to save any others to the trip. (Sometimes, it’ll save another journey, but if I close and reopen the App, the additional journeys have disappeared.)I bought 2 (2 Day Flexi Pass) Eurail France Passes. I have added then in the App, connected one pass to my trip (I added my husband’s pass in my App but haven’t connected the pass yet). I haven’t activated either pass.I’m hoping the information we gather in one thread could help Eurail in some way. I searched and read through other posts and I’d like to hear from the community to maybe narrow down which of us are having issues and why... The only way to know is to also hear from members of the
