Hi there, yes I have a PDF with seat numbers and fare amount printed on it. The original ticket was for Paris to Karlsruhe, changing to Frankfurt at 10.58am. The alternative travel itinerary I have on my DB account (after I amended the booking time to the later time of 15.55) still changes at Karlsruhe, and goes through Manheim. (It says HBF omitted and trains stop alternatively at Main Sud). This is fine as I’m being picked up.
Thanks, I don’t want it refunded, I just want to ensure my ticket it valid and pay any additional amount if needed. I’ve asked my travel agent to look into it with Eurail. The time I’ve booked on DB and have a reservation for are now coming up an unsellable on Rail Europe (when I checked) so I need my ticket to be valid.
Thanks. I am getting “this is not a valid number’ message when ringing the DB customer service number on their website. Is there a different number to call when ringing them outside Europe?
I have just changed my Reservation on DB from Paris to Frankfurt to a later time - now 15.55pm departure - previously was 10.57am. It has changed my reservation on my DB account but the PDF download hasn’t updated to the new time. Is this a concern?Also previously @rvdborgt mentioned I had a reservation from Paris to Frankfurt, but for the wrong price. Is that something to be concerned about and needs amendment, or am I just lucky!!?:)
Ah...I was hoping to do scenic from Brig to Milan between 1pm and 6pm on a Wednesday so thats not going to work if there is a bus and it takes the motorway as some have suggested. Is that correct? I’ll look for Brig to Locarno instead. We’ll be doing Paris - Rouen mid week so that should be fine, :)Thanks for the info.
Thanks @rvdborgt!Brig - Milan (won’t take fast train - will ‘journey’ through Stresa and other smaller towns - will there be cross border reservation needed?)Travel date is important here. There will be engineering works from 9 June until 8 September.We travel June 5th so should miss works hopefully. Most trains Paris-Rouen need a reservation.Is there normally capacity available to book the day before?Eurostar - yes I booked on B EuropeThanks for the advice to book on raileurope.com - I’ll do this. Your advice is so valuable. Many thanks.
Thanks for the clarification. I am concerned I don’t have a reservation for the Paris to Karlruhe leg, On my Sitzplatzreservierung it says Paris Est ICE 9573 “2 sitzplatze, Wg etc.I still have a lot of journeys to complete and I want to the easiest/right thing from here so your advice is invaluable.Do the Eurail Mobile App and the online website bookings sync? I want all major legs confirmed due to the itinerary to meet friends as family and booking pressure during summer on fast trains. For this type of travel is it best to use Eurail Mobile App, Eurail website, Raileurope, direct booking with train company…..or head to my local travel agent. My travel agent said to book on the App which I started to do but for the Fast train journeys I want to take it doesn’t seem to be the best way to book ahead of time due to the seat reservations needed with trainlines, the App no being up to date etcJourneys still to book:Basel - Bern - Brig (won’t take fast train to avoid tunnel - no reserv
On the App, follow the country “Germany’ link - I have a mobile pass - Book with DB.I could not see any link information on the DB website for passholder fares. Could you provide me with a weblink?I have also done the same method with Baden Baden - Basel. Came up with the same amount.Will I need to get a refund and rebook?
I booked directly with DB, following the instructions for “Seat Only’ as per the rail pass instructions. Total payment was 9.80 euro for the two seats. The App would only take me to the website link and it was difficult to use so I booked on my computer.
I keep getting the trains coming up on the App when searching Basel to Brig that go through the tunnel. Is there an intermediatory stop that will help select the right route?
I’m a little confused about the App and QR code vs web-based booking. I’ve booked the fast trains separately on their respective sites and have emailed tickets. Where no seat reservations are needed, can I just schedule each section on the planner App on my mobile, and then show the QR code from the App once onboard? Is this like a ticket recording against my pass the days used?
@thibcabe That’s great advice, thank you! I wondered about going back to Karlsruhe….seemed a waste. We are purposefully taking our time to journey through Switzerland and Italy so that sounds an excellent idea. We have all day, and want some time to explore Brig too but it seems doable. I was thinking the following day to Milan we could use the regional trains too and do something similar. What route would you recommend and what towns to stop in? They all look beautiful.
Thanks for the replies. Sorry for confusion @ralderton ….we depart Baden Baden 10.32am, with stopover in Brig. I was going to book as one ticket with a stopover using our Eurail pass. I have read that it might be nicer to take a slower train from Brig anyway as we are using a scenic journey too, not just point to point. Some of the stops between look beautiful and I am tempted to plan a couple of hop-on and hop-off explorations during the day. Any thoughts and advice on this would also be appreciated.
See examples June 4th, departure 10.32am - many of the trains have this from the Brig to Milan sector. Thanks for your help.
