Also, does anyone know what it means when it says ‘ticket valid for section only’? Does it mean that there are no seat reservations available for that part of the journey? Or that you’re not allowed to get on that train?
You need for the EC in Italy to pay a 10€ fee/person to use it with Interrail. Reservation is optional, you can buy the 10€ fee at a Trenitalia ticket office and you get a reservation for free for the EC to Munich. Via ÖBB you have to pay 3€/train/seat for the reservation on top of the 10€ fee. Ah alright, thanks!! So it’s best to not buy the tickets at the OBB website, but both separately? The one from Bologna to Munich at a Trenitalia ticket office and the one from Munich to Stuttgart at the OBB website?
Are you travelling alone or together with someone? I’m travelling together with someone!:)
And when it says ‘ticket for section only’ does that the other part of the journey is not available or that it is not necessary to make a reservation?
Ferry is only covered when the train rides on the ferry on this route, this is only possible with the IC and ICN Rome-Villa S. Giovanni-Sicily. Ah thanks! And is it possible to board the train in Naples instead of Rome?
@rvdborgt @Angelo I finally managed to book the trains!! Thankyou both so much! :)
The rail planner app does not book trains. It just forwards to some of the websites that can book them. The trains you show until Zürich all have optional reservations but you can book them for just €4.50 per person and journey via DB (use "Seat only”). The remaining train to Milan can be booked via ÖBB indeed for 11€. You can also change to a regional train in Chiasso and save 11€. Seat reservations within Switzerland are not necessary and generally a waste of money (unless part of a journey booked via DB, since they charge optional reservations per journey and not per train). I see you have already activated the pass and a travel day. That is not necessary. Moreover, it is not a good idea to do that in advance, since you can loose a travel day if you change plans and forget to cancel your travel day. You can only cancel a travel day until 23:59 CET on the day before it starts. Finally, please don't use the rail planner app to plan. It is not reliable enough for that purpose, since i
For your first leg Utrecht-Zürich I would recommend to buy the reservation (it is only optional on this trains) via bahn.com with the seat only option (4,50€ for the hole journey/person from Utrecht to Zurich and you can choose your seat on a seat plan). From Zurich to Milan you can use via ÖBB like in the screenshot. You can reserve the trains also via ÖBB with the seat only option (only for the first trains with optional reservation) it costs 3€/train/seat, no seat plan. Thankyou!! But how do I book the train journey? Is booking the seat reservation the same thing as booking the train?
I have a global mobile pass and I have booked the first train from Utrecht (Netherlands) to Milan in the Rail Planner app. Do I make a seat reservation on the ÖBB website/app? And I'm travelling together with someone else. Can I book the seat reservation for them too? Do I just fill in our names, buy the reservation and show it together with our Interrail Ticket of do I need to link them somehow? Pass and reservations are separate and don't need to be linked. Whether you can book the reservations via ÖBB depends on the trains involved. If you share your timetable, then people can advise. Via ÖBB you can indeed book for multiple people in one go. (Note: saving journeys in the app is not booking, it's just the electronic equivalent of writing the trains on the paper pass trip report. It is not needed until you board a train.) Thankyou so much for your quick reply!! This is my timetable: Also, I'm a bit confused.. So I cannot book the train through the Rail Planner? Do I boo
