Yes Rail Planner is very bad for planning, too unreliable On interrail.eu seat reservations cost 9€ person per train but it is way cheaper somewhere else (very often the case) : 3€ per train (2nd class) or FREE (1st class) on tickets.oebb.at 4.50€ per journey (2nd class) or 5.90€ (1st class) on bahn.de I’d definitely make seat reservations for that day, thousands of people will travel that day (holiday weekend) and you’ll stand if you don’t have a reservation Why would DB be unreliable for seat reservations ? They’re the ones operating the trains… interrail.eu is way worse Now you need to choose which options you prefer to get to Vienna : 00:35 arrival (still only one pass day used) or a night in Nuremberg or Munich (2 travel days used then) Hi. We’d already reserved a seat with DB before the timetable changed and they never let us know about the change and haven’t replied to my email asking for a refund on those reservations!We also made a seat reservation with OBB (Austrian railway
And presumably arriving at 00.35 won’t count as another day of travel?
Thanks so much, will try that. We’re also just exploring another option involving travelling through France instead. I can’t figure out how to reserve seats with TGV without buying a ticket - as I believe this is compulsory?
Thanks - it looks like the times have now changed again and the last leg is a ‘railjet’ - I think this is the same as ‘nightjet’ - so does this mean we need a reservation even if travelling overnight. And it’s already not possible to reserve seats for the journey we wanted to get. I’m feeling slightly depressed - we were looking forward to this as the first overseas family holiday in years and having planned all the travel and accommodation it now looks like it’s going to be super stressful. And there’s no way to contact Interrail it would seem other than this forum. Thanks everyone for your help and advice anyway!
Hi. Thanks everyone, yes we were thinking we would take the 12.14 Bruxelles-Frankfurt Flug then 16.01 from there to Wien. The Interrail website says we don’t need to book and that it would cost 9Euros per person per journey if we did which seems a bit much. After already being mismanaged by DB reluctant to go with that again. Presumably we can still board the trains we just may not get a seat for the whole journey? (According to the interrail website anyway). So is the Interrail app just totally rubbish then - it seems to show very different times to local journeys…?
Thanks, that’s really helpful. So, you’d say it’s generally best to use the website / app of the country you’re travelling from? We’re travelling from London - Wien on 27/5, we’re booked on the Eurostar at 7am which arrives in Bruxelles at 10.05. Rail Europe was showing a quicker route via Paris (leaving at 6am) but I doubt we could change the Eurostar leg of the journey at this stage anyway. But if anyone can come up with a quicker route that gets us into Wien earlier than 11pm on 27/5 that would be fantastic.
