Thanks, here is my current booking from the Eurail app. I’ll try booking the seat on Bahn.de. As a non European I find the complexities a bit daunting and more than a tad confusing….🙄
The departure time for the train seems to have changed. The Railplanner says 11.55 and bahn.com says 11.40. You better make your reservation at bahn.com instead of at the Interrail/Eurail website. bahn.com is cheaper and will send you an e-ticket. Thanks Anna I was able to book seats on Bahn.de.. It seems to be still showing a departure of 11:55 on both Eurrail and Bahn.de. I’ll make sure we are there early. Thanks for everything.
Thanks to everyone for your feedback. I really appreciate it.
Everyone thank you for your comments and feedback. I am now somewhat reassured that I won’t be denied boarding if I don’t have a reservation which was my biggest fear. This is a great community if genuinely helpful experienced travelers. Thanks so much
In the main your worries are unfounded, but first time round the relationship between your pass (your ticket) and reservations can be daunting. Firstly: Trains with a RE or ALX code are not usually reservable, although the IR planner says they are optional, so others may know whether these are an exception, but if D bahn is saying not available I would suspect it is an error in the planner. Unless the train is deemed “unsafely full” (Extremely unlikely) passengers are allowed to board and, if necessary stand. If the train is unreservable then simply turn up and find a seat. Secondly: I am confused whether your “booking” is simply you have added to your trip in the app ( all you need to do with a Global pass) or you have paid for a ticket? There are many guides on the Eurail web site and in the community to help you understand the use of your pass but here is a starter. Apologies if this is patronising. in its simplest form the Global pass is an open ticket to travel on almost all t
