Bonsoir! Avec ma copine nous souhaitons réserver un train le 4 juillet de Budapest à Rijeka, seul hic, aucun prix ne s’affiche.Le site nous informe qu’il faut réserver les places (ce dont nous sommes bien conscients) mais ne nous informe à aucun moment qu’il n’y a plus aucun ticket disponible, cependant les trains d’avant ont un prix qui est affiché.Nous avons regardé le même trajet pour toutes les dates suivantes et même soucis.Est ce que quelqu’un a la réponse à ma question et saurait nous aider?  (Voir screenshot attaché)

Hello,I know I am not the only one waiting for the reservations to open for the SJ94 train from Stockholm to Narvik, even with a change at Boden and Bjørkliden.I checked just now on sj.se : what is open is only a departure today and tomorrow. Starting the 22th, it says “Not available” but between 16th and 21th of May, it says “We didn’t find any matching departures”.Is this due to the derailment ? I thought that the train ran daily (even with the Boden connection). Does it ?I plan to travel at the very beginning of July. My final destination is Tromsø. I am looking for an alternative route in case I could not get a ticket through Narvik (and I feel I will know that only a few days before). Do you know if it is easy to travel from Stockholm to Trondheim without a reservation (local trains ?), or with a last minute reservation ? Same question for Trondheim-Bodø even with a seat in the night train.Thank you for any other route suggestion.

We're planning a trip from Amsterdam to visit the UK.  If we buy global passes for the UK, is the Eurostar included, since it's travel to/from our home country (NL) ?  Anything special needed to know on booking reservations on Eurostar?Also, if we buy first class passes, will that translate to Standard Premier on Eurostar?Thanks!

I am writing this message on May 12.  We have European trip scheduled to begin August 21.  We prefer global paper passes to digital passes.  How long does it take to receive a paper pass in the eastern USA?  If it doesn’t arrive in time, can we exchange paper pass for global digital pass?  Under this exchange scenario, please briefly describe the process/conditions.  Thank you.

I am writing this inquiry on May 12, 2024.  We live in the United States and will begin our European trip on August 21.  We prefer paper passes over digital passes.  How long will it take to deliver paper passes by mail to the eastern United States?  Are signatures required for mailing (receipt) of paper passes? Also, if we do not receive the paper passes in time, can they be exchanged for mobile passes?  Under this exchange scenario what is/are the process/conditions of exchange.  Thank you.    

I have searched Eurail website and I am not able to find a way to reserve ferry ticket. Does Eurail global pass include this ferry? 

I am traveling in Portugal and cannot bypass the station gates. What can I do? It seems they use a chip detector for local travel cards. Is there anyway to use my Eurail pass to get through the gates and access the train platforms?

Hello,On the Rail Planner application, on a night train journey between Budapest (HUN) and Brasov (ROM) on 14 July 2024, I see that booking is compulsory and I am offered 3 fares: a seat at €5, a bed in a shared compartment at €15 and a private cabin at €100.When I go to the interrail.eu website to book my seat, I'm only offered a €5 seat, with no possibility of booking in a shared compartment.Does this mean that there are no more shared compartment seats? Or does it mean that you have to use another site?Because if I go to the website of the operating railway company, I can book a seat in a shared compartment, but at a much higher price...Sincerely

OK  Traveling in August from Bayreuth DE to St. Moritz-It’s 9 hours with 4(!) transfers.  Not sure it is advisable but particularly because one connection is 7 minutes.Is this a crazy endeavour?  On one transfer it tells me its a 10 minute walk. This one in Nurnberg has nothing just “transfer”The means of getting between these two points are kind of limited.  I could probably drive it but cars are insanely expensive with drop off in a different country as would be a car service though it might actually make some sense.I’m trying to plan carefully rather than put myself into a difficult situation.  

Hello. We will take the 1st class Glazier Express to Zermatt from Chur. We realise that there is a menu on board - is taking your own wine and food frowned upon or accepted? Thank you. 

I'm looking to book a trip from Paris through to Switzerland in late July. It looks like the most direct option with the least changes is Paris to Lausanne. However, when I go to book via the Eurail site it says that there are no seats available. No Eurail options are available for this timeframe on Rail Europe either.I've looked through other options on the day, and no TGV options are bookable while one INOUI option is. The same seems to be the case for the surrounding days. If I try and book earlier in the year, options are available for most tickets up until the end of June. Is there an earliest possible booking timeframe that I should be aware of? Looking online, some sources say up to two months in advance and that reservations are not limited for TGV Lyria, while others say three. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi there,My partner and I are planning to train from Milan to Grindelwald on Wednesday 31st July.I see we need to take a bus from Milano Centrale to Domodossola and it’s saying “seat reservations required” however it isn’t showing an option to purchase a seat. Does anyone know what we need to do for this? I have attached a screenshot of this below:Then we will take the train from Domodossola to Spiez, Spiez to Interlaken OST and Interlaken OST to Grindelwald. It says “You’re ready to board” for these segments, so we are unable to book a seat reservation for these. I’m worried that not confirming a seat reservation could mean we aren’t guaranteed a seat on these trains. Do we need to do anything else for these trains to help ensure we can catch them?Thanks for your help.Katelyn

Hi,We are a family of 6 - (2 adults, 2 teenagers, a 3 years old and 8 years old). We are planning to visit the following countries:Bulgaria (Sofia), Italy (Milan), Spain (Barcelona), Netherlands (Amsterdam), Belgium (Brussels), UK (London). We are thinking of buying the 4/5 days Global Pass and would consider flying to 1 or 2 of these destinations. My question is, what would be the easiest route with the least number of train changes.  Thank you.

Hello - I am in Australia looking to book a passholder reservation (Eurail global 2nd class) from Barcelona to Marseille on 4 July.This does not appear possible on the Eurail website and Rail Europe is not providing a passholder price, only full fare. Can I only book at a station once in Barcelona, and will passholder fares still be available then?thanks

I know in France, Italy, and Spain you pay 8-13 eu to make a reservation on a high speed train with a Eurail pass. But the last time I used Eurostar some years ago, it seemed like I was paying half or 2/3 of full fare even with the pass. I want to travel from London to Brussels. I also know that the fares differ at different times of day. Can someone tell me how it works please? Thanks. 

Hello, I have EURAIL pass. I want to travel from Chur Switzerland to St. Moritz Switzerland. But I don’t see St. Moritz is a valid station for EURAIL. What I can do now?

I am trying to find a way to put up the cities i want to vist and how to book the passes. I am trying to cover as many cities as possible in the Schengen area and also include Ireland and United Kingdom.

I would like to make seat reservations before I actually arrive in Europe. Can I reserve seats with a non-activated pass? I am thinking Eurostar, ICE, etc. I have tried searching this forum for this topic - and indeed it has come up before. But usually the only answers side-step the question, and ask about the specific travel plans of that person asking. Can someone please let me know if it's possible to make reservations without activation? If not, then it's possible to find trains completely full. 

Hi, I’m planning to travel from Zurich to Milan. I will arrive to the station at 17:58 and the next train available to Milan leaves at 18:33. 30 minutes are enough to get to that train or do I need more time? Thanks in advance! 

We are planning a trip next year from 28 June to 12 July.  We are holding off buying the pass to see if there is an Autumn/Black Friday offer.  We can now book the Eurostar for our dates.  Is it possible to make a booking before we buy the pass?

It is my first time using eurail. I will be traveling with my wife and three children: 2, 4, and 6 years old.I will be traveling from Paris to Biarritz. I want to take the fast train that takes about four hours.  Can somebody tell me how much the additional charge will be to book this trip when I make the reservation?  Also, what happens if I miss my train for some reason. Can I use the ticket for the same trip the following day or something like that? Thanks so much!

Dear All. *Urgent*I am trying to book Zurich to Chur and Chur to Tirano on June 5. I have the Eurail global pass. However, when i am ready and willing to pay for the seat reservation, I cant book it online as a error message says part of the journey could not be booked. My plan is to enjoy the scenic route down to Italy Tirano and then travel to Milan from Tirano. I dont know why i could see St Moritz inside my trip which i booked to take the 1.34pm train at Chur to Tirano. Is there a alternate way or website to book this seat? Pls help to reply to my query as I am comfortable with a printed ticket and i am leaving my home in 2 hours. Worse case I have to pay for reservation and travel in the seat reservation Zurich to Milan trip which is not scenic. Im arranging a day hotel stay in Zurich just to travel on the scenic Bernina Express. Else i would have gone straight to Milan from Munich and travel elsewhere. :( Any form of guidance is appreciated.Thanks
