TGV cancelled my train (Barcelona - Paris)

SNCF is responsible for any extra expenses since they should have offered an alternative. They're required to send a reply within 1 month, or a notice that it will take longer and then their final reply must come within 3 months. it's been more than a month i made the claim through snfc but i don't get any answer, is there any entity in europe that regulates these cases? any other place where i can make my claim?

Hamburg HBF - Copenhagen (seat reservation)

I think in Summer seat reservations are mandatory here, since it’s a very popular route and material that can cross borders is scarce. I always book this via DSB Udland: https://travel.b-europe.com/dsb-rail/dk/reservation-only#TravelWish In which part do I add the Eurail discount? Is the website only in German?

seat reservations Rome - Viena

Use nightjet.com for a clearer overview : add Eurail as a discount. Night trains are very popular so they can sell out weeks in advance. - Rome 20:17 - Vienna 08:52 : only seats for 13.50€ left (not recommended) Alternative : - Roma Termini - Verona Porta Nuova 18:50 - 22:08 (or earlier) 13€ seat reservation - Verona Porta Nuova - Vienna 22:58 - 08:52 52€ sleeper Option 2 : - Roma Termini - Venezia Mestre 16:35 - 20:23 - Venezia Mestre - Vienna 21:17 - 07:58 32€ couchette or 51€ sleeper You could also leave Rome earlier and spend a few hours in Venice (or Verona - option 1) ! :) I have one question. Why won't it let me reserve a seat on some trains in Italy? If I do that I am going to buy a ticket there are places but if I only want to reserve a seat "no ticket avaliable" and this train from Rome to Bolzone is empty

Buchs SG to Vienna

Reservation via ÖBB is even free of charge in 1st class. Reservation is open on tickets.oebb.at. but can I add the trip now to the app?

Buchs SG to Vienna

Hi,  if reservations are open you can reserve it for less money directly via ÖBB (often they open late on this route due to timetable changes due to works on the line). Go to oebb.at and look for this route and select the seat only option. It cost 3 EUR per seat (Instead of 6+2 EUR of Interrail/Eurail). Reservation is optional. If I buy the seat reservation on that website, how do I add it to the eurail pass?I'm sorry, I'm new, I've never used the pass before.

How to book Bernina express and glacier express seats with eurail?

@AnnaB Yep the Glacier and Bernina Express are indeed an exception. You know in advance that you'll sit next to 1-3 other people :) @diego1399 You could take the reservation-free trains without worrying about anything or use the pages rvdborgt linked for the special trains Can I use the glacier express without reserving a seat? No you can't. But there are reservation-free regional trains every hour running over exactly the same lines. and the regional trains do the same route as the glacier and bernina? I'm sorry, it's the first time I've been to Europe and I feel like it's complicated for me.

Zermatt - Chur  is it not included to get discount with eurail pass?   The list with discounts is about 15 items long and your screenshot only shows the top 2. You need to scroll further down in that list, as I wrote before.  Glacier Express 900 Zermatt - ChurSingle, 1st Class I dont see eurail disccount  and i scrolled down. Can you please check if the eurail discount option appears for that trip?I have tried different browsers and I do not see the option

How to book Bernina express and glacier express seats with eurail?

Most trains in Switzerland (95% I'd say) have seats facing another one or next to another one. The only exception would be some 1st class seats (maybe 2-3 per carriage). But don't worry 1st class carriages are mostly empty so simply sit wherever you want and nobody will sit next to you. On the other hand 1st class Glacier Express/Bernina Express are always full so you'll sit near someone else. It's a great way to meet people :) Do not reserve seats in Switzerland, you can't on many trains anyway. It's a waste of money and you can't select your seat anyway.  Zermatt - Chur  is it not included to get discount with eurail pass?

i dont see the option “eurail pass”     Scroll down further. It's 10 options further down. If I am traveling alone and do not want to have another person facing me, which trains do you recommend?

Glacier express: https://shop.glacierexpress.ch/gex_en Bernina express: https://tickets.rhb.ch/en/pages/bernina-express Reservations are not cheap though. The Bernina express has reservation-free carriages at the front of the train. The Glacier express rou i dont see the option “eurail pass” te can also be done with regional trains, all reservation free.

How can I choose the seat from Barcelona to Paris?

I booked through the Eurail app and was assigned a random seat in first class. I wrote to SNFC on Facebook and they told me that I have to return it and buy another one but when I do that I get another random seat again. Is there no chance in first class to choose the seat? What's actually the problem with the seat that was assigned to you? I just want to exchange it for another one. I think that if you pay you should have the chance to choose where you want to sit and especially in a "first class" pass.

You can't choose if you book via Eurail (it's the website by the way, not the app, which just forwards to the website). At the ticket office of if you book by phone, you can give your preferences:   By phone, what information should I give? How is the process, I call and then they send me a link to pay?
