Share you tips for travelling with pets

I would start with the words Traveling with a pet is a own world. Depending on the Company that operate a Train there are different Rules. The Standard rule small pets carried in a normal sized transport box are recognised as “luggage” and most of the times free of charge. For bigger pets it´s start to be complicated. From a own Dog ticket for the Route (price of Child but issued as DOG Ticket) up to a Daypass for the whole Country (eg. Switzerland) you have so many ways and rules. Because of that i recommend to plan your Route(My preference is the Website of Bahn.de or their App DB Navigator) and have a look on the train details and see which company operate the train. If you found out witch company it is check on their own website the rules regarding pets.

Unreliable information on NJ469 Paris-Salzburg

@seewulf Do you know anything about this? Sorry @AnnaB not really active here anymore :/ Yeah the train wont run between Paris - Strasbourg as i can see it in the timetables :/ @alps_and_down Do you have a reservation from Paris or Strasbourg for the Nightjet? In the case you have it already from Paris ÖBB should refund you for the needed reservation of a TGV or even the Ticket for the Ouigo if the TGV´s are sold out :/ In the case you have the reservation just from Strasbourg you have to manage and pay on your self for the way to Strasbourg.

seat reservation france

Question is which pass you hold? Global Pass? Note that Paris - Barcelona is very popular and only few trains per day on that Route :/ You may look for a Plan B Route from Paris via Perpignan - Portbou to Barcelona

Seat reservations in Romania

Hi all, I had the same question. Because what we are worried about, is that the trains will them be fully booked. We arrive on 17th of juli in Bucharest. Will we be able to reserve a (night)train sleeping compartment to Budapest/Vienna/Prague for the 1st of August still do you think? Thanks! Bucharest to Vienna can be booked online (stops even in Budapest but arrives pretty early) :D There is no Nighttrain from Bucarest to Prague either you go via Budapest or via ViennaBucharest - Budapest cant be booked online but should be able from International Ticket offices eg. DB Reisezentrum or their Hotline. You may consider the Brasov to Budapest Nighttrain called “Corona” (catch a daytrain from Bucharest to Budapest) as this Nighttrain have a good dinning carriage the whole Journey

Not can buy ticket for NIGHTTRAIN

A sleeping cabin is 100 euros more expensive than a daybed, just because there are half as many people there? It’s cheaper to buy 6 seats in a seated compartment and lie there😂 Just note that a reservation last only 15mins after depature from then it can be sold again from the trainstaffTo get the whole compartment you would need 6Tickets and reservations wich means besides your railpass you need 5 other tickets to book the whole seat compartment

When should we become a group?

It’s also worth knowing that you can change your allocated seats on the Eurostar if you want. Just log into tthe website with your booking reference. and because of that you could even book each on your own :) and then change later on the Eurostar Website or their Eurostar App the seats to be together :)

OBB Nightjet

As rvdborgt said the train is included :) The Railplanner app is not always up to date :) I use for planning mosttimes the German Bahn website bahn.de or their App “DB Navigator” then it shows on the train details which Railcompany operate the trains on my Route and then i can check if they are operated by a covered Railcompany. I usually than double check the train leg by leg with the Railplanner to find out if a trains need a reservation or not :)

Euronight Ljubljana-Zagreb

Ich habe Raileurope bereits genutzt um Eurostar zureservieren :) Das alte Raileurope war sehr gut und konnte früher für viele Reservierungen genutzt werden. (Raileurope war früher mal eine Sparte der SNCF und hatte sich auf Kunden außerhalb von Europa spezialisiert. Nach dem die SNCF sich zurückgezogen hat gab es letztes Jahr einen "Neustart" für Reservierungen )

Not sure wether Interrail is the best choice?

Always a puzzle, but the best train travel agency is this community 😁 true :D but there are few good ones out there :) Gleisnost, Bahnagentur Schöneberg if you still need advice. but ofcourse they wanna live and charge a service fee :) (They reimburse the fee if you book tickets of a certain amount with them) (If you know what you wanna book Bahnagentur Lennestadt :) )

Discount interlaken - first - jungfraujoch

A travel day is not required for discounts. Your pass is valid for part of the trip from Interlaken as far as Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen so you may want to use it for that. The pass is even valid further till Wengen (not just Lauterbrunnen) from Wengen or Grindelwald a discounted Ticket needed.

The details on my OBB cross-border PDF train ticket looks weird.

There is no need to cut the CIV Code out :D as this Code just says who the issuer of the Ticket is :D 1181 is for example Austrian Rail ÖBB :D While 1080 (can be seen on the route of your ticket) means German Rail DB :D

Understanding Euro rail

As you travel just in Italy and wanna use Highspeed trains you may use the Trenitaliapass (Instead of Eurail Italypass) The trenitaliapass works per ride but includes reservations while the Eurailpass works like a dayticket and you need Reservations on top of the Eurailpass (13€ per person/seat) If you have fixed dates and doesnt want any flexibility you may even end cheaper with Advancefares of the Italian Railcompanies (On the mainlines you have 2 operators :) Trenitalia (State Owned and usefull when you travel on regional routes but they even offer a superb Highspeed experience) or NTV Italo (the second Highspeed operator in Italy on mainlines like your mention routes) What is finally the best depends on your preference (save money, flexibility) In general Advancefares are the cheapeast option but often not refundable or exchangeable A railpass like the Eurailpass = a mix of flexibility and saveing money The Trenitaliapass (is even more flexible than the Eurailpass).I recommend to w

Recommendation about Eurail pass and coverage in Switzerland and Italy

Hi all! I would like to add to @thibcabe ‘s contribution that since mid-December 2023 certain routes of Jungfrau Railways have been included in the Pass network. To travel on these routes, you will need to have a travel day activated and create a journey. BLM (Bergbahn Lauterbrunnen-Mürren AG) Lauterbrunnen – Grütschalp Grütschalp – Mürren BOB (Berner Oberland Bahn) Interlaken – Wilderswil – Lauterbrunnen – Wengen Interlaken – Wilderswil - Grindelwald Lauterbrunnen - Wengen is operated by Wengernalpbahn ;)

Strike Information

Current Status is that the DBB (the GDL Union is part of it) have on 8&9th January their anual meeting. The leader of GDL gave because of that the promise they wont strike on these days. Last Friday German Rail made an offer and asked for negotations on Wednesday. If GDL strikes or not is not 100% clear (they already striked while they still negotate in the past) GDL Leader gave the promise (they doesnt have to) to announce a strike 48hrs in advance.

Handicap access

Thank you for getting back to me. I have already read what you sent me. It tells me absolutely nothing. If it helps, they are getting a 22 day pass to travel all over starting in Vienna and ending up in Milan. They are just bouncing around. I honestly can’t imagine that it should be an issue. If they allow wheel chairs I would imagine they would allow walkers. Thanks, Kim There is no general answer as every European Trainoperator have different rules and ofcourse there many different trains. Some trains have low level entry = quite easy with a Walker others have steps to get in ;) If your Customers are scared they can ask for assistance on major stations. Then usually a Service staff assist them with getting on the train. These services must be prebooked. To book these services you have to fill request forms on the webites of the railoperators as you doesnt mention any details we can provide just general answers like in the link you already red ;)

whats the difference between reserving ticket with and without ?eurail pass

The Eurail Pass is your ticket and sometimes you need to add a reservation on top of that. This is where I am confused. If the reservation cost is 35€, would I get any reduction in the amount with pass or I still have to pay 35€ with pass. The 35€ is the reservation fee for a Railpass Holder (Interrail / Eurail) Normal tickets for Eurostar are quite more epensive ;) Keep in mind that seats for Railpassusers are limited on Eurostar services :/ Because of that make sure you get the reservations asap (and check if the reservations for your prefered train can be bought before buying the passes)

Missing ICE - TGV connecion

Yes you have the right to be placed on the next connection but you need a new reservation (from the DB Reisezentrum / Ticketoffice) as the DB ServicePoint cant book these. Next problem is that DB can book the 1st TGV and not the second one means you should look on the 1st TGV for the French staff (usually already onboard but from Strasbourg you have for sure French Staff members onboard) as they might then give you the French “HOTNAP” Stamp
