When I search for reservations for 28 December, lots of booking times appear, but for each one, a red exclamation mark appears with the following statement Not available from Eurail.comThis seat reservation can’t be booked on our website. Check 'More information' for other ways to book.I have tried to click - More Information and the solutions it offers, do not work either.Is this related to the current rail strike?Or is there some other issue I am unaware of?I am trying to use my eurail pass from Australia.Getting worried that we will not be able to get there!thank you! 

If I purchase a 1month pass is that good only from beginning of the month to the end, or if I start Dec 8 is it good til January 8?

Hello,  I am travelling from Rome to Dublin in May/June and have my route mapped out and pass booked. I am curious about the supplements.  I know the routes I’ll take but the times I take them might vary. Can I pre-purchase supplements to save the extra fee of purchasing on board and extra time of waiting at the station, and have those supplements be used for any time, or is it route AND time specific?  thank you,KrisDean

Hiya,Sorry (1st time user) I have purchase my Eurail Global passes, I am logged in, I am looking at booking seat reservations (for July), the departure time options on the left side of screen are each titled ‘seat reservations required’ and there is a from price listed.Do I assume correctly this is the additional seat reservation fee and not the price of the train ticket? as I am already logged in (& I thus assume being logged in the system should recognise that I have a Eurail global pass paid for)….The first leg Milan to Sion - references needing to buy a seat reservation to board, but in red writing states “Prices unavailable, no prices found etc etc” Eurail says this leg should be bookable upto 180days in advance. I believe this is a trenitalia train (EC 50) Eurocity,When I goto the TrenItalia website, this train schedule for July is not yet available.Would peoples experience be that Prices unavailable popup is due to the train schedule being not yet released…., or sold out….?

I am trying to book a train from Venice - Munich on https://www.oebb.at/en/I can’t book a seat reservation on the train 13.35 - 20.26. I rather have one since I am going in the summer and traveling with a young child.The page is bit confusing, if I put in my interrail card and click on purchase a day ticket a price of 10 Euros comes up. What is this price for, if it is not for a seat? If you click seat option only, it says, not available?I then went through the process of purchasing a ticket without a interrailcard, it doesn’t seem to be an option for a seat reservation here either?Does anyone know which one to purchase? Many ThanksAnna   

Bonjour, Je suis française et j’aimerai savoir si deux trajets faits dans la même journée dans mon pays d’origine comptent comme un aller ou un aller-retour (dans mon global pass)? J’aimerai rentrer de Londres à Paris et dans la même journée descendre sur Lyon. Il s’agirait de mon allée. Puis mon retour se ferait en fin de voyage je souhaite faire un Bruxelles/Paris, et à nouveau rentrer dans la même journée sur Lyon. Deux voyages en un, mais aurais je déjà épuisé mon aller-retour en faisant (1)Londres/Paris (2)Paris/Lyon  ? Merci à tous pour votre aide !

My family and I needed to leave Sicily tomorrow and we saw that there was only Excelsior class tickets left. Inter City Notte tickets are known to be difficult to reserve online, we couldn't find any method to do so, and I was advised to go to a ticket office. Did so in Taormina and was informed that the cabin was first class and couldn't be booked with a 2nd class Interrail card. Is this correct? On ÖBB trains for example, all classes are available for passholders. We needed to travel on that date so ended up buying a full price ticket at 362 euros.

Hi everyone, I want to reserve seats for Barcelona - Freiburg for the 12, 13 or 14 of August.I am new to Interrail. In the past I’ve done the route Barcelona - Freiburg, but SCNF keeps making things complicated.I used to do Barcelona - Paris and then Paris - Freiburg but, the TGV Paris - Freiburg doesn’t show up anymore.Also, I don’t understand how should I reserve a seat with SCNF? I have bought the Interrail Global pass. I read on this forum I have to call them? Is there an online way to book this?The Interrail website gives me reservation prices but when I click on each option the price disappears and there’s no booking option. Also the price is quite high, like 48€. Is that usual?Also RENFE says they will have AVEs Barcelona - Lyon before summer, but they are still not rolling. Any help on how to do Barcelona - Freiburg by train and on how to get SNCF seat reservations will be welcomed😊

Hi all.I checked the information about German Rail Pass.It said I can use ANY DB train in the pass.Here is the question. I hope to go to Praha, Czech. And there is a DB train to go Praha.But the information about the other countries that pass can be used, there’s no Czech or Praha in that.There is only Austria, Belgium, Italy and Switzerland.In this case, Can I use the pass in Praha? or are those countries only I can go with the pass?And if it’s possible to use the pass in Praha, can I use it in Praha as departure also?If anyone knows about this problem, please let me know the answer.Thank you.

Hi I recently just booked a 4 bed couchette for the Berlin > Zurich night train. I booked for 3 people, which include myself (male) and my two friends (females). I just have a couple questions:  Will we be sharing the same couchette? It says we are in the same coach but have different accommodation numbers (please see attached photo for screenshot of ticket)   If ÖBB tries to segregate males and females, will we be separated? If not, what will happen with 4th spot in the couchette if there are both a male and females already in the couchette? Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)

Using the rail planner app, I can load up all my choices of train times, But there is a message that says “No Seat Reservations Required”.  Since there is no button on the page for purchasing seats (1st class) it only lets me save it in “My Trips”.    I’m confused about how I make reservations, even when not required, and how do I get whatever tickets I need to board (besides my Eurail pass)?   I am very confused.  And old.   And maybe not bright.  

Hi there, I’ve tried navigating other peoples Q & A’s, but not sure about getting all the right answers, here goes”I have purchased 5 x Eurail global passes for my family members, who are travelling together initially, but later splitting up and travelling our own ways.Can i prebook trips and reserve seats collectively for all passes, before allocating passes to each persons device……   & can i do this on my computer, or does this process only work through the app….Or do I need to allocate passes to each device first & then do we all have to book trips & seat reservations seperately - hoping that we can still book at the same time & ensure we have seats together??I assume this process of booking trips and seat reservations, does not mean we have to ‘activate our passes yet?’ Assuming we only have to activate our pass on the day we actually travel (have booked to travel)cheers

Hello,I’m trying to book a traintrip this summer and want to go back and forth from Belgium to Bolzano . I see that the one country pass Germany also includes Brussels - Cologne and the trip to Bolzano. But can I use the One Country pass Germany as a a Belgian resident in Belgium? The rule states that you cannot use a One Country pass from your own country, but this is a One Country pass for Germany… Does anyone know this?Thank you,Tanja   

Hi! Just started organising our trip and were looking into night trains from Florence-Vienna. However, there appears to be no availability at all throughout July and August. Are these all booked out or do the trains simply not run at this time?Thanks for any help!

Hi!We are hoping to travel from Strasbourg to Florence in early July.We have seen the train from Strasbourg to Basel exists and doesn’t need booking. However, when looking on the Eurail app, the train from Basel to Milan was ~12 hours, whereas on Trainline, it was ~4. We are worried that the faster train doesn’t come under the interrail pass, please help if you know. From Milan to Florence, we could find a train with Trenitalia however, once again, there was nothing on the app. For Trenitalia, we can’t add our interrail pass, so we don’t know if we need to book or not. We would super grateful for any help!

I can’y make a seat reservation for a specific train destination via the interrail apprication. It’s impossible ro book a trip on Frech SNCF because you can not fill in tjay you have an interrail pass (only specific SNCP cards and passes are accepted). I asked SNCF and they answered go to the train station and book it there.This means that Interrail sells passes but you can’t book tickets on their application for some trains/destinations. It means also that SNCF is in the interrail program but you can not book online on their application. It means also that I will have to travel 80 km back and forth to order our tickets. Is there another possibility to book online tickets in France with interrail pass without having to travelby bus to the nearest (small) station only to be told, perhaps, that it is not possible in that station and that I must go to another (larger) station.Nice service that Interrail prigram! 

What if a train connection is not available on the interrail app? Can I add the train connection myself or do I have to pay for this train connection?

I found about interrail recently and I want to buy one ticket, my question is:  The one month pass it is calendaristic month or from the moment you start the first trip??Thank you!! 

イギリスのエディンバラ駅で紙のグローバルユーレイルパスをアクティベートすることはできますか?

I have the 3 month global pass through eurail, I have the mobile app version and as of recently the pass has disappeared from my app. I have been traveling for a month now and have not had a single issue. I have tried uninstalling the app several times as well as restarting my phone and making sure that my phone and app are up to date, no resolution. When I try to re add my pass it says error. I have contacted support but I’ve only read online that they are notoriously bad with aid and take days or weeks to respond. I have a train set for tomorrow and have already bought my seat reservations but I can’t access my train tickets. The customer support is non existent and practically useless witch should not be an issue for a pass I paid $800 for. Please if anyones has a resolution or if there’s anyways to speed up the customer support service please write to the conversation. 

Hello everybody!Just joined the community and have a question about making reservations on the Caledonian Sleeper with the Global Eurail Pass. Went through the community posts on the topic and was able to select the “Room Supplement” option as advised by the community.However, the booking amount does not change much… The Club option amount comes down to GBP420 from 425 while the Classic option amount in fact goes up from GBP 290 to 300. What is even more strange is that the Seat option is “Sold Out” after selecting Room Supplement option. I have a Global Eurail Pass (2-month/First Class) for a family of 2 adults and 2 children aged 6 & 8 years. Before selecting Room Supplement option: After selecting Room Supplement option: 

I am from Germany and I would like to travel by train from Bremen to Lyon and back from Lyon to Bremen to visit a friend. The date I plan to travel to Lyon is May 17th, and the day I want to return from Lyon to Bremen is May 21st or alternatively May 22nd. I have checked train connections on the website of Deutsche Bahn, but the fares are significantly more expensive than using the Interrail Global Pass. Therefore, I would like to use the Global Pass with the "4 days in a month" option during my travels. However, I am uncertain about which connections I am allowed to take. Can I take the TGW, the IC, and the ICE trains with the Interrail Global Pass? I will only be traveling on two days (instead of four days as paid for in the pass) with a few changeovers on both trips. With these information provided, is it possible for me to purchase the interrail global pass “4 days in a month” for around 230 Euros?I would be really thankful for help :) Thanks in advance!

I’m thinking about purchasing the 10 days in 2 months pass for travelling through Great Britain, starting in Luxembourg. My residency is Germany.

Hello everyone,I'm a first time interrailer and had my first trip (from germany to the uk and back) all planned out when I ran into problems for my trip back due to the announced strikes in great britain.My intended itinerary had me taking a train from Leeds to London on the morning of the 30.3. and then the Eurostar to Paris at 17:31. Since this late train would make getting all the way home quite tight and depending on a lot of connections, so I opted for staying the night in Paris and taking the TGV to Freiburg at 17:25 on the 31.3.I'm travelling with a global pass and have already reserved the Eurostar as well as the TGV.With the now announced strikes I'm unsure how to proceed, as at the moment it looks like there will be a high possibility of no train running on the 30st from Leeds to London (there is no strike timetable yet) so I have no possibility of getting to London in time to get the Eurostar.What possibilities do I have here?I'd rebook to an Eurostar on the 31st, but there
