Thank you for your swift response. We endes up refusing to pay since there was no documentation of the required fee neither in the Railplanner App nor when booking the seat from Bologna to München. The staff did not follow up. These extra feesshould either be abolished or properly communicated.
ÖBB was successful for making seat reservations for almost all our trips. Thank you for that suggestion. I also managed to book Bologna- Munich through ÖBB website. The fee was even 1 EUR cheaper than with DB, which all adds up. Thanks again for all your useful suggestions!
Great Thanks so much. That"s good to know.
It’s the route from Bologna to Munich that’s giving me problems with seat reservations. I’ve tried DB’s website *Seats only”) many times and on different dates in July, but either it says there are no free seats at all, and I’ve tried many different dates in end July and when I try other dates (in April), it allows me to buy a ticket (I tried to book an actual ticket) and then it will let me pay for a ticket (75 EUR) but says there are no seat reservations possible on that route. But I already have an Interrail pass, so there is no need to buy a ticket. I have not tried ÖBB but I might give it a try. I also had troubles booking a seat reservation on DB from Copenhagen-Basel, but I keep getting messages that there was a problem with the website. This was not a problem with Bologna-Munich. I did succeed in booking seats between Salzburg and Copenhagen (29 July).
I have checked now on DB website and can see as you mention that it is not possible to buy the seat reservation. But does the 6 hour train ride not get very crowded in the summer without a seat reservation in advance? Is it guaranteed that there is space on the train?
Thanks a million. That is really useful advice. ☺️
