Reserving NOTTE train in Italy - Donna couchette

I see that the Eurail site allows a couchette on the train from Rome to Siracusa to be booked - but it only offers either a seat or Promiscuo. I would like to get a CC-DONNA place though - why doesn’t the Eurail site offer this?is there any site that does? I tried raileurope.com but couldn’t find any reservation-only price, only for full ticket, even though I entered Interrail pass.(Getting ready for fitst ever interrailing - exciting!) TIA

Best rail pass for a week and 3 countries

Hello,we are a family of 4 traveling to Europe for the first time next week. 2 Adults and a 20 year old and a 11 year old. Our plans are this. 24-26 Frankfurt. 26-27 Munich 27-29 Salzburg 29-1 Bern. 1-2 Frankfurt for the flight home. We also Land at 6AM on the 24th. Trying to understand the rails. We will do some inner city site seeing most days but it looks cheap to pay as you go for those. But trying to figure out if I would need both a EU global pass and a Swiss train pass. While in switzerland we are thinking of the train ride goldenpass express I think its called. And hitting museums. Just not sure if the EU pass and pay for the other stuff in Swiss is better or how this works. Thank you

Global pass questions

Hi,We are 6 adults with 4 aged over 60 and 2 aged between 50 and 60 years old. We would like to buy Eurail global pass. My questions are:Can one person buy 6 passes or each of 6 needs to buy their own pass individually? Shall each of 6 need to download the Eurail app regardless Is there any advantage/disadvantage buying the passes by one for all 6 or each individual

Interrail versus single tickets

I'm deciding whether to use an interrail pass or single tickets for 2024. It's a bit tricky as the SNCf dates I'm looking for aren’t published yet (dep 25 May - ret 2nd June). Other than the Eurostar (as those dates are available now) I'm looking at dates in Feb and March to check price via SNCF.Can you recommend if using Interrail pass or single tickets is best for this journey? I used interrail pass last year and find it really easy to use so I'm leaning towards that at the moment:4 people - two teens, two adultsCosts without pass:Stroud to London (7.31am dep) total return price £97.80 with family railcardLondon to Lille Europe (11.04am dep) total return price £592Lille Europe to Marseille (14.03 dep TGV ) price per person £150pp!!Marseille to La ciotat £9ppTotal is super high due to TGV cost - unless I use ouigo?? But is this a more a more complicated/longer journey?Based on this the interrail pass represents much better value for money (but i think I need to buy it today to avoid

whats the difference between reserving ticket with and without ?eurail pass

I am planning to buy eurail pass. What is the difference between reserving train with and without eurail pass. Let's say the cost of the ticket is 100€ without pass. If I reserve along with pass, would there be any difference in the total amount I would pay? Like some amount from pass +reservation fee. Or regardless of the pass I still have to pay 100€.

What is an economical means to cover the following cities during our euro visit. we are three adults

What is an economical means to cover the following cities during our euro visit and the best route to be followed. we are three adults:- Versailles- Paris- Amsterdam- Rotterdam- Geneva- Zurich- Interlaken- Lucerne Please note we are yet finalising the itinerary, however, these are the major cities / places we wish to cover. And it would be a great help if you could suggest what would be the best economical option (also keeping in mind we don't want to waste too much time in travel) - i.e., whether toA) get a eurail global pass for continuous 15 days?OrB) buy single tickets from Paris (France) to Amsterdam (Netherlands) to zurich (Switzerland) If we go ahead with option B, how do we commute within France, Netherlands and Switzerland considering the budget.We plan around 14-15 days in Europe covering the above three countries in April 2024.All the help would be great

Train travel in Switzerland

We (6 adults) plan to travel on the train from Chur (Switzerland) to Milan (Italy) via Tirano (Italy) on Monday 26th February 2024. My questions are:Given it is a middle of winter in Europe, does Bernina Express run on this day (Monday, 26 Feb 2024) departing Chur? Can we take normal rail (other than Bernina Express) to travel from Chur to Tirano on the same day? Is there a connected train to travel to Milan from Tirano on that day and how long does it take to arrive in Milan?

SJ Euronight from Sweden to Berlin

Hello 👋I'm trying to book the Euronight from Malmö C to Berlin for the 9th March (it's a Saturday) but Track Work Planned is noted from that date and on. I checked the planned work schedule and March is not included, so anyone that have experience with SJ can tell me if I have to wait more to book or is better begin to plan an alternative route? I should go to Berlin from Oslo and I know that Snälltåget is not an option during my travel days. Anyway it would be nice to have a plan B in case of cancellation, would it make sense to consider the ferry from Stockholm? I'm open to any suggestion as long doesn't require more than a travel day and an half.

Seemingly strange route from Paris to Bern?

Hi there, i am looking to get a global pass this summer to travel from France-Switzerland-Germany-Netherlands, but have not purchased the pass yet. while i am looking at train times between Paris and Bern it is seemingly taking a strange route that takes over 10 hours. this is confusing to me as on RailEurope, they show a train route that travels to Bern vis Basel sbb. wondering why this much shorter (4hour) route is not showing up on the train times page. cheers

Eurostar unabe to reserve seats from Amsterdam to Antwerp

Hi Everyone, Looking for some insight on the below:I’m trying to book reservation from Amsterdam to Antwerp for 22nd April 2024. We have got a 7 day Eurail pass. While I was searching for train times, I never got an error and since I’ve purchased the pass and I’m going into the reservation tool, I’m getting the errors.I’m getting the following error for 8:15 train. But train at 10:11 is available: B-Europe:It doesn’t even show 8:15 since I have a 2nd class pass.If I choose that I have 1st class pass, it shows that there is a train. With Second Class Pass:With 1st class pass(which I don’t have): And below is what I see on trainline: So I can get a ticket on trainline but then i won’t be using the pass for that journey.Questions:Is it possible that all the eurail passholder tickets are already sold out for 8:15 train ? From today it’s 117 days untill 22nd April. Is it possible that 2nd class bucket is not yet released only for 8:15 train? Since I can see 1st class tickets available in

Validity period of France Germany pass

Hello, i activated my France Germany pass on the 2nd of December and on my rail planner app it says that my ticket is valid from the 2nd December to 1st of January. i thought that the France Germany pass was only valid until the end of 2023, or does this refer to the activation date ? So the question is, can I still use one trip on the 1st of January

Mapa de rutas Eurail

Dónde conseguir un mapa con todas las rutas ferroviarias de España? El mapa de eurail es muy genérico y no permite escoger una ruta, con click al icono de “cómo llegar”, lleva a Google Maps y, por ejemplo, en Google existen trenes de Sevilla a Málaga pero esa ruta no existe en el mapa de Eurail.Deseo iniciar un. viaje por España, desde Sevilla; levantarme y decidir adónde voy, ir a la estación comprar un pasaje y ya está; o un Global Pass continuo de dos meses. Muchas gracias.

What is the difference of Seat reservation recommended and Seat reservation optional?

We are traveling on these dates who have first-class global passes, and we have five luggages with us. Could you help to explain the distinction between a recommended seat reservation and an optional seat reservation?
