Hello,my spanish friend was unable to book seats from Atocha station. The person at the counter didn’t find the no connection Lyon-Barcelona on april 21st… “this train doesn’t exist”, she said. But I can find on Renfe website the April 21st AVE INT 09742 from Lyon 14.32 to Barcelona 19.34, without connection. Whatever, too complicated.We finally booked another train that will leave Angers at 11.45 with a connection in Paris. And then Paris-Barcelona without connection.Thank you all for your kind help.Best regards.Laurent

Hi, I went to the Angers railway station this morning but they don’t even see on their screen the train AVI9742 Lyon-Barcelona 14:32… what a mess!!We (SCNF employee and I) tried with the self machine to book seats of an Angers-Barcelona via Paris with the interrail option (it exists within the machine) but the price is the one of a regular ticket.I sent all the informations to my friend in Madrid. I hope it will be easier for him.Have a nice day

I tried, I went deep in the reservation process. At the end, there is an option to choose the seats (it coasts 25€) but I’m obliged to buy regular tickets (323€ for 5 people+25€ to choose the seats). Did I do something wrong? I don’t undertand the seat reservation process 🤔. I always buy regular tickets… 😔

oups, sorry, information missed 😅Ok I’d check on the renfe website to find the reservation option or buy regular tickets.I have friends in spain, do you think it’s easier to book seats directly in the railway station? I could ask them.Best regards.Laurent

Hi thibcabe, I hope you can help me. I bought our global passes and when I try to book the Angers-Barcelone via Lyon Part-Dieu (7h11), I’m not allowed to book seats in the train from Lyon to Barcelone :Not available from Interrail.euThis seat reservation can’t be booked on our website. Check 'More information' for other ways to book. “more information” explains that booking is allowed 90 days before travelling and our travel is in 85 days. Do you know how to book?Thank you

Thank you for your replies. Actually, I don’t understand quite well how does interrail work. I’m reading the FAQ but I have plenty doubts. Our plan is to travel with my family (my wife and our 3 girls 7, 8 and 11yo the day of departure). We were thinking about leaving Angers april 20th or 21st and coming back ~2 weeks later. We plan to visit several cities in Spain : Barcelona (4 days), then Madrid (4 days), then Sevilla/Grenada (4 days) and coming back to France (with a connection in Barcelona maybe). Do you thing the global pass 5 days would be the great option? Once the GP bought, how can I book only seats from SNCF and RENFE? Do I need to check before for seats availability?… See, plenty of questions. I continue reading the FAQ 😅 Thank you so much for your help. Laurent
