HelloI would like to book berths in private couchette in the night train from Stockholm to Narvik (in july) but when I do the simulation on the interrail website, I see only “2nd class seat”. I don’t want seat but berths. Are berth places limited with global pass?Thank you fo your answers.

I’m confused about what I have done.I tried to reserve two seats on the train from Prague to Zurich. When I look in detail, I see I am allocated two seats on the Prague to Linz leg but not on the next leg.When I looked at the seat layout on the Linz to Zurich leg, it looks like all the seats are in rows of 3. All bar one have the two seats closest to the window marked as if reserved and the only two side by side seats left appear to be a middle and aisle seats.Does this mean we can’t get window seats on the Linz to Zurich leg, or am I doing something wrong? I have a 1st class Eurail Pass and I am going on the day train to get a good seat with a good view. The booking is for May 6, which I could only access starting a few days ago. Have I missed out already?   

we are looking to travel from Zermatt to Milan on 12th June 2024 and I understand that the direct line between Domodossola and Milan will be closed during that time and there will be replacement buses. Where can I find the timetable for these buses and buy tickets? We have Eurail global pass will this cover the bus as well? TIA! 

My wife and I each purchased a Senior 1st Class Eurail Global Mobile Pass, 15 days in Two months.  My question is, do we need to download the app to both of our devices, or can we put the app on one device with both passes?  I want to make sure that we can travel together on all trips and that when we reserve seats, that they are together.  Our trip won’t begin until September 20, 2024.Thank you

I have made seat reservations on OBB and it says that I can download the PDF, but because I have protection on them, if I do that right now, they lose that. What happens if I click to see my tickets on the mobile app? Do they become a scannable ticket in the app or a PDF that I have to print? At first glance, it doesn’t look like any say that it’s required to print them out, but is there a way to make sure? Not all of my tickets are for places within Austria and from what I saw, it’ll be 50/50 if I can print them if I’m not in Austria (at least from an OBB station).

Hello. We are using the mobile global pass and will travel from Venice to Avigliana on 9 June. Seat reservations are required on the first two legs of our journey. Should we purchase these on line now or wait until we arrive in Venice and buy them at the station? If we purchase the seat reservations on line now, will we need to print out the seat reservations? Or can we present the QR code from our phone to the guard? Thank you. 

Just had a notification from DB app to say my reservation on 16th Aug is ‘cancelled’. Looking at the itinerary is not helpful, but has some German that mentions SJ and I know they’re upgrading things. Can’t get the rest of the message. Anyone else had this?Journey is 10.11 Koln Hbf > 14.14 Hamburg Hbf / 14.53 Hamburg Hbf > 19.50 Koebenhavn HAnyway, when I log on to my account on the desktop it saysOutbound journey: Timetable change.Due to timetable changes, information on your connection is no longer up to date. Please check the current travel options....and...Connection no longer availableUse any train: You can now also use your ticket for other trains.Alternative connection: Due to recent events, this connection is no longer available. Please find a new connection for your trip.I’ve searched and the journey is still there (albeit arriving in Copenhagen 1 minute earlier). DOes that mean my reservations are still valid?? The seats I have are not available if I go through the book

I have some of my train seat reservations made through OBB even though some of the destinations don’t evolve Austria (i.e., Rome to Milan, Milan to Zurich, Zurich to Munich). I saw many suggestions to use OBB and just saw for myself why it works out to use OBB. But I haven’t questioned if any downsides were using OBB for trains that don’t involve Austria. Should I be aware of anything that I might run into because of this? Or am I okay?

Hello, i was trying to get a night train from Prague to Budapest, specially the Euronight 477/ Intercity 577 Metropol, but it doesn’t appear in the rail planner app, however, i can find it con de oficial cd page. I do not understand why it happens. Should I add manually the trip on the rain planner app, and get the seat reservation in the cd website?. And i will continue having the same price as with the interrail pass (only the seat reservation has to he paid)?. Thanks.

Where can i find the page to print extra lines to record my trip on my paper pass?? (i cannot use the rail planner app with the pass i have)and the bot on the interrail page cannot answer my question.

Hello,I see sharp increase in price of reservations of night trains in Sweden it looks like a seat now is more expensive than a couchette or sleeper compartment. A few weeks ago the price was 35 SEK now it is more than 400 SEK for a seat reservation on a night train.Does anyone know what happened? 

Hi ice train destination curtailed and will terminate at Köln instead of Frankfurt is the reservation still valid to take that train to Köln? the DB portal only states that connection is no longer available and is not clear if the paid for reservation to Frankfurt is valid for the Brussels to Köln journey.

Hello everyone,First time travelling with interrail this summer.I have a 10 days pass, but I still have book 4 reservation, I need a bit of help 😥😥.I have booked most reservations on the interracial booking website, but still need to book this 4 trips:Wien Hbf - Prague Hlavni Nadrazi on the 7th of August at 7:10 am. Doesn't let me book on interrail site but I have found tickets on Cd.cz for around 15€ per person, which is fine I guess 🤷🏻. Prague Hlavni Nadrazi - Berlin Hbf on the 8th of August at 17:30, or any other time that day, it doesn't let me book on interrail site. If I book on int.bahn.de do I have to pay for full price tickets (50€ per person 💀) or can I flag the option "book seat only" (10€ per person)? Koebenhavn H - Stockholm Central on the 15th of August said tickets available 90 days before departure but now they say that they're unavailable on the interrail site. Stockholm - Oslo on the 17th of August still says to wait 90 days before departure to book on the interr

Dear Friends,We are a family of 3 adult persons looking to travel in early June 2024 from Milan to Venice and then from Venice to Florence & from Florence to Rome. We have a Eurail Global pass.  when I googled for seat reservations. It was stated in the Eurail rail planner app that reset reservations are required. However, when I googled, I received a response that seat reservations are not required.  So, I am a little confused about what needs to be done. Could someone please guide me if seat reservations are mandatory for these routes.  Also I have gotten a monthly pass but I shall end my eurail train usage at Rome. Could you also guide me how to deactivate the pass & request for refund for the unused portion. How long will they take to refund?  Thank you

I will be travelling from Barcelona to Cologne via Lyon and Brussel. I have no problems to make my seat reservations from Lyon to Cologne, but not from Barcelona to Lyon. I have a 5 day/ 1month euro rail pass .What I can see from this group that in Spain seat reservations can only be made at a ticket office. I will be travelling on 11 June and arrive in Barcelona on 9 June. Should 2 days before be enough to get 2 seats on this route, or can a seat reservation be bought before hand by phone, calling renfe?ThanksHorst

Do I need a seat reservation when travelling 1st class Eurail pass on train from Gent to Amsterdam in August 24? If the timetable says no seat reservation is needed, do I risk having to stand if train is full? 

Does anyone happen to know if Alvia trains have catering?I’m looking at A530 Barcelona to San Sebastián/ Donostia. Neither DB, RENFE nor Seat61 mention anything an about a restaurant car. But for a 6.5 hour journey, surely there’s something?!

Can anyone recommend clean, child friendly hostels / air B&b to stay in around Italy that is affordable/ cheap ish ?  thank you 

Hallo zusammen!Bald steht meine erste Interrail-Reise an und ich bin schon sehr aufgeregt. Die Reise führt mich von Portugal über Spanien nach Frankreich. Dank des Forums habe ich bereits viele hilfreiche Informationen gesammelt, aber falls jemand noch wichtige Tipps hat, immer her damit!Ich habe noch ein paar offene Fragen und würde mich freuen, wenn mir jemand weiterhelfen könnte:1. Man kann ja die spanischen Züge am DB-Schalter reservieren. Gilt das auch für Portugal, oder kann man die Züge dort nur vor Ort am Schalter buchen? Wenn ja, ist es möglich, dies 1-2 Wochen im Voraus zu tun? Ich würde gerne direkt bei meiner Ankunft alle Reservierungen vornehmen.2. Wie funktioniert es, am Schalter "nur" die Reservierung zu buchen, ”ohne” ein Ticket? Das Ticket ist ja der Interrail-Pass, dessen Reisetage ja dann noch nicht freigeschaltet sind.3. Sollte man den Reisetag immer erst einen Tag vorher freischalten, auch wenn man schon feste Reisetage geplant hat?4. Ist es sinnvoller, wenn man ge

Hi there, I’m travelling (family of 4) from Lille to Marseille (starting in UK), next Saturday 25th May. I wanted to check the seating plan for our TGV and in doing so I’m now having a mild panic.  Our seat reservation for the TGV (from Rail Europe) states it’s the 14.01,  9830, from Lille. Arrives Marseille 18.50. This train also shows in the b-Europe website and the interail planner. So far so good.(Our Eurostar arrives into Lille at 13.26) But when I tried to find a seating plan, I went to the SNCf site and entered the train number and saw that the 9830 is listed as departing at 13.01 and couldn’t see a 14.01??? Is something odd going on that I should be concerned about?Thanks for any help! First pic is from the SNCf site, https://www.sncf-voyageurs.com/ This below, is from B-Europe. And of course I have my rail Europe booking that states it’s 14.01 as well. so it looks like you can actually still get seats on the 14.01 so it must be running right??  

Good evening, I want to travel from Milan to Imola for the F1 Grand Prix at 19/5,Sunday but I read that is going to be a strike. What options do we have in order to make it there? Thank you in advance. 

I am trying to book tickets from London through to Sweden - still reeling from the fact the reservation fees for a family of 4 are almost as much as the pass itself but I have a couple of questions I was hoping to get help with ... A lot of the time its giving me 9 - 10 minute train switches - is this enough? Thinking not with 2 kids but maybe the trains are more punctual in Europe?A lot of tickets say you can buy a seat reservation if you like but it's not required. Prices for this journey will start to be available 90 days before departure. It says this even though I am booking for within the next 90 days. Should I get the reservation from the national train line?Also struggling to book the Swedish sleeper from Stockholm to Hamburg on Swedish trains website - comes up blank when I search. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks for your helpAnna

I have booked a train ticket between Venezia Mestre and Wien on a direct night train. I've printed out the ticket and know the timetable.In the Rail Planner application, this journey is not listed (a train leaves at the same time, but it includes a change and does not arrive at the same time as the one indicated on my ticket).Will this pose a problem in the event of an inspection?How can I ensure that this journey appears in the application and that my pass is taken into account? Is this necessary?Sincerely
