Yes I’m travelling in France on both July 17th and July 28th. I already declared a couple of weeks ago my Paris London (outbound journey) and my London Paris (inbound journey) in my pass , because eurostar tickets can be reserved 6 months in advance (and should be reserved as soon as possible). And I just bought yesterday the Toulouse -Paris reservation on july 17th (for my outbound Journey: Toulouse Skegness (north of Engalnd) ans the Paris Toulouse reservation on July 28th (for my inbound journey: Brighton England-Toulouse ), because SNCF just opened yesterday sales on summer train tickets. I’m not sure to understand well. Event though I have activated those 2 days of travel (including outbound / inbound journeys) a couple of weeks ago, I can desactivate them today, and on July 16th (one day before my first day of travel) I can reactivate them? Which means I only have to buy mandatory reservations seats in advance in order to make sure I will have a seat, and then declare the trains
Hi thanks for your answer. I understand now why I couldn't see the trains (the apps updates once a month). But I’m not sure I understood the rest of your message. I think I already activated my pass but I’m not sure. What you’re telling me is that I should have bought the reservations in advance and later only when I’m a 100% sure of my travel days I should have activated my pass and declare my journeys? Here is the status of my pass:
Hi again, I tried on another computer but there is no option for buying a reservation seat. I tried both on my phone on the apps ans on the internet on interrail.eu and https://travel.b-europe.com/Eurail-GE/en/booking-tgv#TravelWish . I eventually called the SNCF by phone and we succeeded in making the reservations! I really don’t know why it’s been like this. now I suppose I only have to add manually the journeys on my pass (since they don’t appear and they can’t be added automatically). thank you for your help and have a nice day!
I retried on my phone and on my computer; maybe I have an internet browser problem :(i’ll see if I can use another computer somewhere, thank you!
I tried that too.. i’ll retry later during the day..thank you for your answers! :)
I tried that, but I have this answer:and no earlier or later trains available on this specific website (while there are availabilities for that day on the SNCF website)
Thank you for your answer. I tried again, but they don’t give me the option of booking seats on the interrail pass:and when i click on “more info “ I have this information (regarding the 90 days max for a reservation):I don’t know how to make the reservation; And since the tickets are opened on the regular SNCF website I hope there will be still seats left.
Hello, I’d like to add another question about this topic. I’ve read that we can only reserve a seat 3 months in advance. But in France train reservations for the summer started this morning (march 8th). I wanted to book a train on july the 17th between Toulouse (France) and Paris. And the return ticket on july 28th. What happens if the train we would like to take is oversold if we wait until the 3 months in advance? (ie: april 17th and april 28th for both journeys). Is there a way to make a reservation before the 3 months in advance to be sure we can have our reservation?Thank you and have a nice day
Thank you so much for your answer! Wow it’s a lot a things to know :) Have a nice evening
Thank you very much for your answers. I will then make the reservation for the eurostar. Do you know if children under 11 (i.e. 7 and 9 years old) have to pay the reservation? I suppose so, but it’s not clear on the eurostar website reservation. Thank you again :)
