Amazing both of you. Thank you so much for your help. I will be avoiding the interrail info now, other than needing the Eurostar back to the UK. I would buy you a drink if I could, you have saved me a whole load of faff. 🙋🏼

OMG Thank you so much for responding so quickly. This is so helpful.So I have just gone onto OBB and it is allowing me to book a seat reservation on there!  So this is what I need - but I just need to check that this is applicable with interail pass ticket?

How to use the Rail Europe website for reservations

I have been looking on Rail Europe for trains - and the information is different on this website than on the interrail app. Train from Bruxelles-midi to Koeln Hbf 24th July 2024 16.23 arr 18.15. I am struggling to get a Eurostar seat booking for this. So trains without seat bookings:On the interrail it states you go to Liege-Guillemins with ICE 317 first, and then to AachenHbf and then Koeln Hbfon Rail Europe ICE 317 is a direct train to Koeln Hbf and I do not need a seat reservation.Do you know which is correct??? Very different trains?

Problems booking train seat from France to Barcelona

There is still availability on 19 and 23 April. I'd try again with DB. DB can book these trains and people were able to get them from DB in the past (quite recently actually, just 1 or 2 weeks ago). I'm not sure what DB would mean by "not allowing to book”. Maybe there's an issue with the connection to the French/Spanish system or they're doing it wrong. They should use tariff code 44 (TC44) to book this train. Hi, yes I saw there was availability on the actual trains, but is it because there are limited seats available for interrailers and those seats lack availability do you think?

Problems booking train seat from France to Barcelona

ok I got through to Deusche Bahn, the helpful person said they are coming up but not allowing to book, so either they are all sold out and they are unable to book that end also?! help?! I feel misled as I looked up all the trains and booked everything else so need to be on those trains.  On which date? Tuesday 19th April Paris - Barcelona and return Sat 23rd  I have tried booking online again this evening in case it is to do with release of seats - and now it states something when I try to proceed with the booking ‘Please try to find an alternative connection. The unavailable leg will be removed from your cart’. Previously it did not say anything just would not let me proceed after I had selected them all and put all my details in.

I am also trying to do this for my family. I arrive in Paris less than 48 hours before planning to go to Barcelona Sants. We really need to book the seats for our family in advance as everything else is arranged(other trains and accommodation as interrail led me to believe this was possible to reserve online), but obviously will not be able get to a station to do this. I have contacted SNCF but they have again reiterated that it needs to be at a station. Really concerned about leaving it late as it specifies there are limited seats available for interrail pass holders.
