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
I am a resident of the Netherlands. I am planning to get an Interrail pass for 2 months this spring. But that pass comes with just 2 outbound/inbound journeys. However, I want to make multiple trips.The question is: does a journey starting on a border station (the last station before the border) count as an inbound/outbound journey? For example: does taking the train from Breda to Brussels or from Arnhem to Frankfurt count as an outbound journey? According to this example posted on the Interrail website, a journey from Brussels to London St.Pancras does not count as inbound, but the journey from London St.Pancras to Brighton does count. So consistently, a journey from Frankfurt to Arnhem (the first stop in the Netherlands of the ICE) should not count as inbound right?
So here is the problem. I am planning to get an Interrail ticket for 2 months in a row. I want to make multiple trips starting from my home country, the Netherlands. The ticket only got 2 inbound/outbound journeys. So that is only for one trip. For the other trips I would have to get a train ticket to a first station across the border, I learned today. For me it is also an option to drive to a station close to the border in Belgium (or Germany), park my car there, to start a journey at that station. That is often cheaper than getting a ticket for the first station abroad. For example, I start my journey in Essen (Belgium). The first station in Belgium on the Roosendaal to Antwerp line. It is a 125 km return drive for me, so roughly 20 euro in costs with the car. With public transport it would be 35 euro return.This is the starting point of my journey in the Netherlands, by car or public transport. My question for the community: does someone have experience with the same "problem”? If y
