Hello - I have 3 days in Lucerne in April and one of the trips I’d like to do is from Lucerne to Interlaken. I’ve seen lots of comments about not needing to reserve trains in Switzerland but thought I’d check it out. I’ve had a look on OBB and SBB and Rail Europe and can’t find any reservations available. It seems possible on the Eurail site itself. The only other place I can see to purchase them is at https://store.luzern.com/luzern_en/specials/daytrips/zentralbahn-int-lu   I’ve looked on there for 24th April and the seating plan shows quite a lot of seats are already booked so it seems as though it might be a good idea to book after all? Or could it be that only some seats are able to be reserved and the rest are left for people to hop on/hop off? Has anyone booked reservations via this shop? Many thanks for advice

This will be my first time traveling to France from Canada. Wanting to avoid flying with Boeing at this time, I am exploring other ways to approach my destination of Paris.

Hello,I am trying to book seat reservations via oebb.at (as recommended in this community) for traveling in and out of Italy. The trip is on 20-04-2024 from Florence to Lugano. I am trying to book FR9504 from Florence SMN to Milano Centrale, departing at 6:55. And EC316 from Milano to Lugano, departing at 9:10 from Milano Centrale. However, via the OEBB site the seat reservations cannot be booked. What is going wrong? Should I just book them via Interrail reservation tool?Kind regards,Daniël 

Hi, I am trying to make a reservation on a domestic greek ferry. The last years, I have made it through email, but this year they want me to do it online. They want me to enter my activated pass cover number. I have tried to explain, that I have a paper pass. They don't seem to understand me, and asking for the same activated number. Anyone know if it not possible to use the paper pass anymore, to get the discount? Eurail/Interrail: it is mandatory to insert the activated Pass Cover Number during the booking process.  This is from the web site. Nothing about paper passes.  Regards Karina 

Hello,I want to make reservations for TGV in France and Eurostar from Paris to Amsterdam.I’ve seen that the Eurostar can be booked through the website of the SNCB but unfortunaly TGV can’t be and it is not possible on the website of the SNCF neither.But I’ve seen that both can be booked through RailEurope but I wanted to be sure I could trust the website since it is not from any national carrier and that I will not have tickets that are not valid when I board the train or something like that. Does anyone have ever used this website ? And additionnaly do they charge a booking fee and how much ?Thank you very much

hello!We would do a interrail family from Rome (Italy) to Sweden, with stops in Munich, Copenaghen, Malmo, Stockholm, and back. We would use a night train from Rome to Munich, and from Munich to Copenhaghen. But I can’t unterstand if night trains costs are included in Interrail family ticket or not, (in this case the amount of the difference to pay), and how we can book reservations, having children..Thank you very much!

Hallo, wenn in der Verbindung von München nach Bologna ein Zuschlag anfällt und eine Sitzplatzreservierung empfohlen wird. Wo kann ich diese buchen bzw. sehen wie hoch die sind?

Hi all,Planning a trip from Finland to southern France and back next October as a family of 4. I got the impression that separate train tickets bought well in advance might end up being cheaper than the global pass. But interrailing last summer to Italy and back we found that quite a few of the trains that we took were delayed. My question now is, what happens if we have bought separate tickets and one or more of our trains are delayed so that we won't be able to make the next connection? I understand that the global pass is considered a through ticket so we would be booked for the next available train, but if we have separate tickets do we need to buy new ones ourselves? Any other thoughts on the matter are also welcome 😊

I found a trip on my app, saved it but I don’t see it appear when I log in to the web version. I don’t get the same trip in the web version. Why is that? Are the things you fill in on the phone app synced or stored in ones account?

 I want to interrail with my friends and apply for the free pass. However, it seems that, in order to apply, we need to have 18 years old in the first semester of the year. Only I will have 18. What does this mean?? Will it be impossible? This rule just seems weird .

Hey, me and a group of 18 others are planning a trip to Slovenia from Brussels. We were thinking of using interrail but still aren't sure if it is the cheapest option.

Hello, my girlfriend and I want to go from Stockholm to Goteborg in August this year (August 15th). We have already booked the Interrail ticket, but it is not possible to book a reservation for any train. The latest train where I could book a reservation would be on June 3rd. Starting with June 4th, I cannot find any single train on any date where I could book a reservation.Is every single reservation after June 3rd outbooked, or can I only try to book the reservation like 3 months before the trip (like in Germany) or so? Thank you in advance for all answers (and sorry if my english is not the best ;) )!
