Eurail Black Friday sale 2022?

I am planning a backpacking trip to Europe in 2023. My research showed that Eurail had a sale on their tickets last year at this time. Anyone know if it will happen again this year? Thanks!

Oslo to Bergen / reservation

I find 2 totally opposite statements about reservations. Once Eurail says there aren't trains with mandatory reservation in Norway, but again Eurail says trains from Oslo to Bergen are. DB still says No and Vy says nothing - no sign R, no option only to reserve. I don't even see type of train.

Delivery by post reservations - issue

I want to book a reservation from Paris- Barcelona and Barcelona - Marseille. Both can only be delivered by post. I‘m leaving tomorrow so i can’t use my own adress and wanted to use the one of my second hostel. I‘m staying there 06.05-10.05 and the reservations are for 13.05 and 17.05. i filled out the adress and everything but below there was a message that due to their calculations it won’t arrive on time. I don’t know how long the shipping takes but i‘m confused on how to book those reservations. Is my only option at a train station ? It’s still 14 days away so i don’t get why it won’t arrive in time ? Booking at a train station seems risky because what am i gonna do if the train is full for that specific day ?

Do I have enough time for train changes ?

Hello all,I am planning to go from Paris to Prague by train this saturday, via Stuttgart, Munich and Schwandorf. I have only 10 or 15 minutes for the connections, so I am worried to not have enough time. If someone here knows these routes and stations, could you tell me if I will have enough time ? Here is the detail : 10 mins for the connection in Stuttgart, 16mins in Munich, and 10 mins in Schwandorf.

Thalys Trains are available on their website but not on interrail?

Why is that?I’m trying to book a ticket from Amsterdam to Paris which is in over 2 ½ Weeks. And Interrail does not allow me to use ANY of the reasonable thalys train times, despite me spending 250€ on this pass.There is still plentiful options avaiable on thalys’s official website – but I would have to spend the full price to make use of it! Plus why would I even consider buying separate tickets if this website brags about their partnerships with thalys and after I spend this much money on a pass that doesn’t serve any use.The fact that this company seriously expects me to spend 140€ on another seperate ticket, making the pass 100% useless is completly ridiculous and I am not recommending this do any of my friends after this trip is over.

What's the difference between TGV6077 and TGV6177 from Paris Gare de Lyon to Nice Ville?

Hi everyone, I was trying to book seat reservations (for Eurail pass holders) for a train from Paris Gare de Lyon to Nice Ville on 13 May on travel.b-europe.com, it came up with two different options of the same departure time (13:54), both trains are direct trains with the exact same travel time, departure time, and arrival time.One of the train number is TGV6077 with a beverage symbol next to it and shows all the stops along the way. The other train number is TGV6177 without a beverage symbol and shows no stops along the way. So my question is are these trains both exactly the same or TGV6177 doesn't serve drinks and without stopping while TGV6077 serves drinks and stops in all the stops showing in the details?Are both these trains TGV INOUI?Thank you so much in advance.Please refer to the pictures below:

Trains in Italy; train schedule summer 2022

I am trying to plan a trip to Italy in the Summer of 2022 when I was looking online at the train schedules, I noticed that after a certain date, some trains are not available. For example I was looking at trains from Rome to Perugia and it shows trains that are available until June 12, after June 12 there are no trains that go from Rome to Perugia. I found this with a few other trains, is there something I am looking at wrong or do the trains just not run after June 12?I was thinking maybe it has to do with being too far in advance but I am able to look at other itineraries a year in advance.I have traveled a lot throughout Europe but this will be my first time using EuRail, so I am still a little unsure of how it works! I would love to book my trip as soon as I can so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Transfer time between trains

Hello, I would like to take a train from Salzburg to villach and villach to venice but there is only 6minuts of transfer between the two trains, so I’m scared to miss the train from villach to Venise, because we don’t know at all the train station of villach and 6minuts of transfer seems very short.

Does IC 60403 only use one travel day just like NJ403?

Hey all,I want to go From Amsterdam to Zurich with IC 60403. This train departs Amsterdam 20:28 and arrives at 8:05. Does this trip use only one travel day just like NJ403? Because it isn't a Nightjet in the travel planner. Would love to hear your answers.

I used up my inbound and outbound journey. Can I use my pass starting at the border, or at the first station after the border?

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I had to interrupt my trip and used both my inbound/outbound travel days to The Netherlands.When I want to resume my trip from my home country, I can use my Dutch subscription until the border. However, how does it work with Interrail? Can I use my pass starting at the border, or at the first station after the border? In other words: Do I need to buy a supplementary ticket from the last Dutch station to the first non-Dutch station? Or do the two different train cards merge seamlessly?

Missed connection train with reservation due to delays of previous train. Can I get a compensation/refund for the TGV I had to take instead?

Hi All,I’m travelling with an Interrail pass and I’m currently on the route Brussels —> Paris —> Barcelona. Original Plan Thalys BRU-PAR, reserved through Interrail reservation service ICN (night train) PAR-Latour de Carrol, reserved with Interrail reservation service Thalys got more than 2 hours delayed due to multiple issues, so I missed my connection last night for the ICN.I want to continue my journey to Barcelona today and got a “Titre de rupture de correspondence” at the Paris train station to allow me travelling onwards on the next connection to Barcelona. I’m now on this train (TGV), however they ask me to pay 54 euros for the seat reservation (even though I’ve to stand as there’s not even any seats left). What are my rights here for compensation/refund? As the cost is increasing rapidly when you’ve to make multiple expansive reservations.

Questions about reservations supplements

Hi, i’m planning a trip through multiple countries (Austria, Germany and Italy). When planning out my train schedule in “book reservations” for trains “included” in my pass I’m sometimes met with:1) “You’re ready to board” 2) an extra cost (example: for a night train (nightjet) from Cologne to Vienna) 3) “You're ready to board, You can buy a seat reservation if you like but it's not required.” 4) “+ Additional supplement required, You will need to pay an extra supplement at the station or on board the train.”I’m wondering what these mean exactly.Does “1)” mean i don’t need a reservation or anything else and can just show up and hop on at the station ?If I pay the extra cost for “2)”, I will be sent an electronic ticket. Is that enough in combination with my pass to board the train ?For “3)”, how do I know if a seat reservatiion is necessary (to avoid finding no seat on a full train)? And just to make sure, for “4)”, Am I right for thinking the ticket person will just ask me to pay a

Can I reserve a seat without activation?

Hello, I bought it through Global Pass.I need to renew my passport, can I make a reservation for a seat on https://www.eurail.com/ ?If I activate the mobile pass, will the reservation information I purchased be transferred?I want to make a reservation quickly because I think I'm entering my passport number when I activate it, but I can't.I'm worried about whether I can renew my passport first, activate the pass, and reserve seats.
