Amsterdam to Brussels (29/7, 14:28-17:09): Just stay on the 14:28 train, it arrives at Brussels only a few minutes later. No reservation needed (or even possible). Brussels to Ypres (2/8, 16:03-17:44): No reservations needed (or even possible). Check the Belgian railways website for the correct timetables. Note that the station in Ypres will show the name in Dutch only, as “Ieper”, and that in the Brussels stations half of the signs are in French and the other half in Dutch. Ypres to Paris (6/8, 11:15-15:56): no reservations needed or possible. Carcassonne to Annecy (17/8, 12:20-19:15): that includes 1 TGV with mandatory reservations. If you leave at 10:20, you don't need reservations. Thank you so much!!! This community forum helps out a tons!!
Thanks for the recommendation!!I’ve dug into the thread you shared and found the websites. However, I don’t seem to be able to find ways to reserve seats for trips that were previously shown as “no reservation required” on the eurail website.Amsterdam to Brussels (29/7, 14:28-17:09)Brussels to Ypres (2/8, 16:03-17:44)Ypres to Paris (6/8, 11:15-15:56) Carcassonne to Annecy (17/8, 12:20-19:15)Any help would be much appreciated.
Maybe a trip through Switzerland on the way from Belgium to France. No reservation are needed in Switzerland, the trains run often and the scenery is beautiful. Here is some useful information from the experienced travellers in the Community regarding both planning, reservations and activation of pass and travel days. You will find information about trains in Italy in the link further down. Planning The rail planner is normally not up to date, as it only is updated once a month, so to be sure of the time table you better check the timetable and availability on the websites of the national railways. The bigger national railways, like DB (Germany) SBB (Switzerland) and ÖBB (Austria) cover several countries. Reservations The advice from the experienced travellers in the community is to use other ways to make reservations than the Interrail/Eurail website. You can look at the guide in the link: https://community.eurail.com/train-connections-reservations-47/how-to-get-reservat
@1. no -again: RES is completely independent of pass/app-though in some cases you need the pass cover nr-which is not on mobile passes anyway and has to be asked for. @2, NO its def not that easy! Use OTHer planner-that of bahn.com is far better, moire often updated and does show which trains MUSt/CAN or canNOT be RESeved. It may also simply mean that the/via app is unable to link on the the site where RES has to be made-which is quite often the case. PS-think again if it is really worth it-you loose 15% of price for 10 and the diff. between price for 7 or 10 is not that big-plus that 7 is for 1 month- and 0 for 2 month validity-maybe you can rather better put it to good use-also daytrips out are feasible. Also be aware that about any major airport anywhere in EUR is currently also overlaoaded and has giant Qs for all the checks-some even advise to arr 3-4 hrs before-for a 45 min flite! Thank you so much for the prompt replyThe exchange process is now well understood. We will definite
