Hello, I'm going on a trip to Spain & France this coming end of July with my boyfriend & we just bought an EU rail global pass for 5 days flexi (first class).
This is our itinerary.
Bilbao (Abando) to Madrid (either Chamartin or Atocha)-----30th July 2025 (6am onwards)
Madrid (Atocha) to Barcelona (Sants)----1st August 2025 (6am onwards)
Barcelona (Sants) to Lyon (Part Dieu)----3rd August 2025 (6am onwards)
Lyon (Part Dieu) to Paris----5th August 2025 (6am onwards)
Paris to Pontorson---8th August 2025 (6am onwards)
Pontorson to Paris---8th August 2025 (4pm onwards)
We tried reserving our first class seats on EURail but they only come out around 90 days before. Ive checked other websites like B-Europe & Renfe. Im afraid that by the time EURail reservations come out, all the seats have already been booked by other websites.
Any advice would be appreciated.
