Seat reservation Zurich to Munich Raileurope

Hi there, I have a friend travelling with an interail pass from Zurich to Munich, 14 August, departure 7.33am.She’s trying to reserve a seat (family of 4) but the option to continue is greyed out on Rail Europe - ie she can see the train  and select it but the seat reservation isn’t possible.I’m assuming it’s because theres no charge. Where’s the best place to book these seat reservations please? Thanks.

Discounts for One-Country-Pass

Hey guys,unfortunately we missed the deadline for the discount until 18th of July for the One-Country-Pass (France) for our Honeymoon in September. We saw the prices in July and calculated a lot and in the end we missed the offering - do you think we get the chance for another discount/sale in August?Or do you have any other idea about saving the 20 %? Thanks!Julia

Rail Europe: Interrail x Eurail Combination Seat Reservation

Hi! I’m going to be travelling with my interrail pass, together with 2 of my parents (Eurail pass holders) and now we are on the stage of trying to book all the necessary reservation seat. I have several questions:So after learning how to work with the app, is it true that in the interrail app itself, we only need to save the trip routes in our app, then slide and activate the yellow QR code on the day of travel (this is to show the ticketing staff that we have the ticket for the train). Whereas for the reservation seat, we just need to purchase separately from the official website (e.g. SBB, DB, RailEurope, TrenItalia, etc). So later on we have an e-ticket of the number of the seat as well from these websites. Is this correct? I’m trying to book our first seat reservation (for the train of Paris Est -> Strasbourg on 23rd July at 06.52 A.M just like the one stated on the rail planner app). However, the I’m not sure if it’s possible to book seats for all three of us together as the w

von Madrid nach Porto

HallöchenWir fahren am 17.08. Mit dem Interrail Globe Pass von Madrid (Spanien) nach Porto (Portugal). Ich habe auf mehreren portugiesischen Webseiten wie dieser hier gelesen, dass man in Portugal je nach Zug Sitzplatzreservierungen vornehmen muss, diese aber nur in Portugal am Bahnhof möglich sind. Unten Ausschnitte von der Webseite (auf Deutsch) und der Link dazu.  https://www.seat61.com/trains-and-routes/lisbon-to-porto-by-train.htm#Porto-LisbonNun reise ich von Madrid das erste Mal nach Portugal, so kann ich für diese Strecke noch keine Sitzplatzreservierung in Portugal vornehmen. Auf der Interrail-Seite kann ich diese Verbindung jedoch auch nicht finden.  Habt ihr Erfahrungen und ist für diese Route eine Sitzplatzreservierung notwendig? Und mit welchen Verbindungen habt ihr Erfahrung?   Danke für eure Hilfe und Tipps!

Bordeaux - Madrid

Hallo Ich habe bereits in anderen Fragen darüber gelesen, dass es schwierig ist, eine Optimale Verbindung von Bordeaux (Frankreich) nach Madrid (Spanien zu finden). Dort habe ich gelesen, dass man von Bordeaux nach Hendaye (Frankreich) fahren soll, dann dort mit Euskotren (habe ich herausgefunden, diese fahren ja alle 30min) nach Irun und dann von Irun nach Madrid. Dies ist nun mein Problem. Von Irun nach Madrid gibt es nur Züge um 07:00 Uhr am morgen oder dann erst um 15:00 Uhr am Nachmittag. Diese Züge am Nachmittag kommen erst gegen 23:00 Uhr in Madrid an, was recht spät ist. Zudem muss man auf dieser Zugstrecke mehrmals umsteigen.  Ich habe bereits andere Verbindungen von San Sebastian oder Bilbao nach Madrid gesucht, aber diese fahren alle erst am Nachmittag wie dieser von Irun, und man muss auch viel umsteigen.Habt ihr Tipps?  Herzlichen Dank fürs teilen eurer Erfahrungen!

Inbound / Outbound travel days / Night trains

Hey everyone,I'm new to the Interrail Global Pass and have a question about my outbound journey. I know there are probably similar posts out there, but I want to be absolutely sure!My plan is to take a night train from my home in Italy (let's call it point A) to Austria (point B) on August 1st. I get that only one travel day is used for this, even though I'll arrive in Austria on the 2nd.Here's where I'm unsure: I need to take two trains from my hometown to point A on the same day (August 1st). I know I can use as many trains as I want on a travel day, but should I add the night train first or the two local trains? I'm worried about messing things up since my outbound journey would have already started.Does this make sense? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!As for my inbound journey, I'll manually input:Point B (Germany) to Villach (Austria) Villach to point A (Italy) Two trains from point A to my hometownDoes that sound right?Thanks in advance!PS. seat reservation already done ;

Seat reservations in Italy

We bought a couple of Global Passes yesterday (7 days in a month - 1st Class) which we secured just before the 20% discount ran out. Only condition is I can’t book anything commencing before Sep 1st, and we don’t leave Australia until Sep 8th, and won’t start the ticket use until late Sep.Made our first booking today (London to Zurich) - no problem.Up to the second booking now (Florence to Rome) and have noticed an anomaly.reservation fees start from EUR30 (1st & 2nd - 2 reservations) as soon as I select a specific service, the price jumps to EUR56 - no matter which service if I try my next booking (London to Milan) same thing occursIf I log out, all bookings on these routes revert to EUR30.Is there something strange occurring in Italy with reservations atm, or is this just the railway company gouging extra for the component of the ticket price they didn’t get? If it’s the latter, I’m feeling very ripped off!!!

Zugverbindung in Pass eingeben

Hallo.Ich möchte am 1. August mit dem Mobil / Global Pass von Hamburg nach Härnösand (Schweden) fahren. Ich habe mir eine Verbindung herausgesucht, bei der ich in Kopenhagen und in Stockholm mehrstündige Aufenthalte habe, weil ich wegen der Grenzkontrollen mit langen Verspätungen rechne. Nun kann ich diese Verbindungen aber gar nicht als durchgehende Reise eintragen, weil nur Verbindungen mit bis zu einer Stunde Umsteigezeit automatisch erkannt werden. Ich müsste also drei Teil-Fahrten für die Reise eintragen. Werden die als drei Reisen gezählt? (Sitzplatzreservierungen habe ich bei der Deutschen und der Schwedischen Bahn separat gebucht.) Gibt es eine andere Möglichkeit? Viele Grüße Stefan

What to do when you miss your last connection in a border station ?

Hello everyone !On Thursday 25th. of July I will be travelling from Pisa in Italy to Genève in Switzerland via Nice and Lyon in France. I’ve booked seat reservations with trenitalia as far as the border town of Ventimgilia and should theoretically proceed on to Nice, then Lyon and Finally Geneva. However I’ve noticed that the intercity that I have booked (IC 659) from Genoa to Ventimiglia is almost constantely delayed which could be a problem for me as I have to take the 13h17 train (86042) from Venimiglia to catch my TGV (6850) in Nice to reach my destination. I could go on taking the next train from Ventimiglia but I wouldn’t go further than Lyon as I would arrive after the departure of the last train to Geneva… I have asked to trenitalia’s staff multiple times what could I do in this situation but they have always said to me that, with an interrail, they cannot pay me an hotel for the night or give me a normal ticket to continue my journey the next day (According to them, I would ha

DB Timetable change

Evening all! I was planning to travel from Laufenberg to Friedrichshafen on sunday the 25th August, They just got a notification about a timetable change and now it can’t find an alternative connection. Should I wait a few days and see if it fixes itself or is it better to pursue other routes? Or is it due to engineering works? fbanks!

Trip from Hamburg to Italy (7 Days)

Hi Every one, I am planning a trip from Hamburg to Italy for 7 days by booking Eurail Global Pass along with my wife and kid(5 years) in August month end.Route is like this:Hamburg → Milan → Venice → Florence → Pisa → Rome → Vatican city → HamburgI have few questions related to this ticket.Is it good idea to travel with this ticket rather than multiple Train tickets ? Will this ticket will be valid across the Local Trains,Buses,Metros, Trams and Ferrys ? If seat reservation needed , then can I book the seat through DB App or website or corresponding service provider app or web rather than booking in this app as its saying more than its service provider app.

Paris to Siena

Hi everyone, I want to get from Paris to Siena in August, and back again. Which route would you go? I’ve been looking into various options but because of the landslide etc it all seems a bit complicated, and I’m struggling to find the simplest route. I’m happy to stop 1 or 2 nights on the way so would also like to take into consideration which cities would be nicest to stay in. I’m currently thinking Paris - Basel - Milan - Siena?Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks, Helen :-)

Paper Pass: how to omit start date

I am trying to purchase the 20 per cent discounted Global Paper Pass, but the ‘details’ required include a ‘start date’ for the Eurailpass. I want to leave this blank as I have for previous purchases of paper passes, but the system won’t let me, as it insists on a date. How do I solve this?
