So in a sense, the planned trip in your app is just for your own information - it is the reservations made with eg Rail Europe, and the “My Pass” in the app that are the key things? The logged and activated train in the app = your ticket :) The reservation is to make sure you have a seat and paid the “Supplement” that is needed to travel on this train with a pass :)
You get a estimated delivery time during the booking process. If it wont arrive within that time (its quite long to be safe) you can contact Eurails Customer Service for a solution :) eg. one option as you said would be the change to a MobilePass anothen one could be Refund + you buy it from one of the Ticket offices in Europe (Few railcompanies still sell the paperpass at their International Ticket office) The Passes are always send by signed post (that way both Eurail and you can monitor where the passes are).
Hi Anna and thibcabe and my thanks to both of you to help me. I fully appreciate you are gracious ‘helpers’ and not responsible for Eurail/Interrail websites but I hope staff of them monitor the Community to see where they could look to improve. My comments are directed to them and should not be taken of criticisms of yourselves. And as for better, easier and cheaper places to make seat reservations than the Interrail/Eurail website all I can say is as thibcabe said … Trenintalia are not willing and as a occasional user I have no idea where else to go! Ofcourse Eurail is aware of it and belive us they are working on several fronts at the sametime. Keeping the current Companys in. Adding new Railcompanies (the time of one Railcompany per Country is long gone) and ofcourse even make the App and Website easier to navigate. Ofcourse there is Staff that monitor this community :) But their main task is to keep that Community clean from spam and help users where they can. For Complaints i
I would start with the words Traveling with a pet is a own world. Depending on the Company that operate a Train there are different Rules. The Standard rule small pets carried in a normal sized transport box are recognised as “luggage” and most of the times free of charge. For bigger pets it´s start to be complicated. From a own Dog ticket for the Route (price of Child but issued as DOG Ticket) up to a Daypass for the whole Country (eg. Switzerland) you have so many ways and rules. Because of that i recommend to plan your Route(My preference is the Website of Bahn.de or their App DB Navigator) and have a look on the train details and see which company operate the train. If you found out witch company it is check on their own website the rules regarding pets.
@seewulf Do you know anything about this? Sorry @AnnaB not really active here anymore :/ Yeah the train wont run between Paris - Strasbourg as i can see it in the timetables :/ @alps_and_down Do you have a reservation from Paris or Strasbourg for the Nightjet? In the case you have it already from Paris ÖBB should refund you for the needed reservation of a TGV or even the Ticket for the Ouigo if the TGV´s are sold out :/ In the case you have the reservation just from Strasbourg you have to manage and pay on your self for the way to Strasbourg.
Question is which pass you hold? Global Pass? Note that Paris - Barcelona is very popular and only few trains per day on that Route :/ You may look for a Plan B Route from Paris via Perpignan - Portbou to Barcelona
Hi all, I had the same question. Because what we are worried about, is that the trains will them be fully booked. We arrive on 17th of juli in Bucharest. Will we be able to reserve a (night)train sleeping compartment to Budapest/Vienna/Prague for the 1st of August still do you think? Thanks! Bucharest to Vienna can be booked online (stops even in Budapest but arrives pretty early) :D There is no Nighttrain from Bucarest to Prague either you go via Budapest or via ViennaBucharest - Budapest cant be booked online but should be able from International Ticket offices eg. DB Reisezentrum or their Hotline. You may consider the Brasov to Budapest Nighttrain called “Corona” (catch a daytrain from Bucharest to Budapest) as this Nighttrain have a good dinning carriage the whole Journey
Each Railcompany have own rules and it differ from Company to Company sometimes small dogs are free, sometimes you need a child ticket for the dog or even a special dog ticket.
I see also that ÖBB plans to link Zurich-Barcelona with a Nightjet from December 2024 👍 https://murciatoday.com/overnight-train-connecting-spain-and-europe-scheduled-for-next-year_2290639-a.html According my current knowledge postboned without a new start date :/
A sleeping cabin is 100 euros more expensive than a daybed, just because there are half as many people there? It’s cheaper to buy 6 seats in a seated compartment and lie there😂 Just note that a reservation last only 15mins after depature from then it can be sold again from the trainstaffTo get the whole compartment you would need 6Tickets and reservations wich means besides your railpass you need 5 other tickets to book the whole seat compartment
@Andy_Larter DB Reservations usually have no QR Codes :) Here a picture from the Reservations Collection on Facebook
It’s also worth knowing that you can change your allocated seats on the Eurostar if you want. Just log into tthe website with your booking reference. and because of that you could even book each on your own :) and then change later on the Eurostar Website or their Eurostar App the seats to be together :)
As rvdborgt said the train is included :) The Railplanner app is not always up to date :) I use for planning mosttimes the German Bahn website bahn.de or their App “DB Navigator” then it shows on the train details which Railcompany operate the trains on my Route and then i can check if they are operated by a covered Railcompany. I usually than double check the train leg by leg with the Railplanner to find out if a trains need a reservation or not :)
The date would by Monday 17 June. Is it to far out to book? I´ve booked my seat last year by conntacting Transport for Wales TfW as they operate that train. The issue with this route is that they use often replacement trains. I especially wanted to use the so called Premier Service with Dinning offer in 1st class. But quite often this train is replaced by a small unit without any food facility (with luck a trolley service) Wikipedia Page about Premier Service
Indeed the cheaper Eurail reservation is for the “non Panoramic” section of the Bernina Express :)
You can only use 2 days of your pass to travel in your country of Residence Germany :) This means you have to pay for atleast on of the 3 days that have routes in Germany personally i would go from Karlsruhe via Appenweier to Strasbourg (on my own with a regionalticket or the 49€ ticket) and catch the TGV to Bordeaux from Strasbourg as the route Karlsruhe - Strasbourg will be the cheapeast one :)
Ich habe Raileurope bereits genutzt um Eurostar zureservieren :) Das alte Raileurope war sehr gut und konnte früher für viele Reservierungen genutzt werden. (Raileurope war früher mal eine Sparte der SNCF und hatte sich auf Kunden außerhalb von Europa spezialisiert. Nach dem die SNCF sich zurückgezogen hat gab es letztes Jahr einen "Neustart" für Reservierungen )
Always a puzzle, but the best train travel agency is this community 😁 true :D but there are few good ones out there :) Gleisnost, Bahnagentur Schöneberg if you still need advice. but ofcourse they wanna live and charge a service fee :) (They reimburse the fee if you book tickets of a certain amount with them) (If you know what you wanna book Bahnagentur Lennestadt :) )
A travel day is not required for discounts. Your pass is valid for part of the trip from Interlaken as far as Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen so you may want to use it for that. The pass is even valid further till Wengen (not just Lauterbrunnen) from Wengen or Grindelwald a discounted Ticket needed.
Hi Teresa, Looking for the same route I am wondering...how dit you manage to go to Sofia? Thank you! Andrea Currently best way via Romania either Vidin/Craiova or Ruse :) Have lppk on the website of Bulgarian Rail https://www.bdz.bg/en/c/international-rail
There is no need to cut the CIV Code out :D as this Code just says who the issuer of the Ticket is :D 1181 is for example Austrian Rail ÖBB :D While 1080 (can be seen on the route of your ticket) means German Rail DB :D
As you travel just in Italy and wanna use Highspeed trains you may use the Trenitaliapass (Instead of Eurail Italypass) The trenitaliapass works per ride but includes reservations while the Eurailpass works like a dayticket and you need Reservations on top of the Eurailpass (13€ per person/seat) If you have fixed dates and doesnt want any flexibility you may even end cheaper with Advancefares of the Italian Railcompanies (On the mainlines you have 2 operators :) Trenitalia (State Owned and usefull when you travel on regional routes but they even offer a superb Highspeed experience) or NTV Italo (the second Highspeed operator in Italy on mainlines like your mention routes) What is finally the best depends on your preference (save money, flexibility) In general Advancefares are the cheapeast option but often not refundable or exchangeable A railpass like the Eurailpass = a mix of flexibility and saveing money The Trenitaliapass (is even more flexible than the Eurailpass).I recommend to w
Hi all! I would like to add to @thibcabe ‘s contribution that since mid-December 2023 certain routes of Jungfrau Railways have been included in the Pass network. To travel on these routes, you will need to have a travel day activated and create a journey. BLM (Bergbahn Lauterbrunnen-Mürren AG) Lauterbrunnen – Grütschalp Grütschalp – Mürren BOB (Berner Oberland Bahn) Interlaken – Wilderswil – Lauterbrunnen – Wengen Interlaken – Wilderswil - Grindelwald Lauterbrunnen - Wengen is operated by Wengernalpbahn ;)
Current Status is that the DBB (the GDL Union is part of it) have on 8&9th January their anual meeting. The leader of GDL gave because of that the promise they wont strike on these days. Last Friday German Rail made an offer and asked for negotations on Wednesday. If GDL strikes or not is not 100% clear (they already striked while they still negotate in the past) GDL Leader gave the promise (they doesnt have to) to announce a strike 48hrs in advance.
Thank you for getting back to me. I have already read what you sent me. It tells me absolutely nothing. If it helps, they are getting a 22 day pass to travel all over starting in Vienna and ending up in Milan. They are just bouncing around. I honestly can’t imagine that it should be an issue. If they allow wheel chairs I would imagine they would allow walkers. Thanks, Kim There is no general answer as every European Trainoperator have different rules and ofcourse there many different trains. Some trains have low level entry = quite easy with a Walker others have steps to get in ;) If your Customers are scared they can ask for assistance on major stations. Then usually a Service staff assist them with getting on the train. These services must be prebooked. To book these services you have to fill request forms on the webites of the railoperators as you doesnt mention any details we can provide just general answers like in the link you already red ;)
