seat reservation doesn't work


Marit Van der Jeugt

I’m trying to make a reservation for:

BRUXELLES-MIDI (Belgium) to PARIS NORD (France) THA 9412 - THALYS

there is a reservation needed but the railplanner says ‘no price results were found for this connection. Please try searching again or find an alternative way to book.’ 

What can I do? I can’t find another way to book this with my Interrail pass.

Alternatively, go to a Belgian railways ticket office, where there should not be any extra fees for a reservation. Do note however that for tomorrow, only the 10:13 train from Brussels seems to have Interrail seats left (25 EUR + 4 EUR per order).

Alternatively, you can take an IC to Lille (reservation-free) and take a TGV Lille - Paris. Belgian railways can also book this TGV (10 or 20 EUR) at a ticket office at the bigger stations.

As seewulf mentions, there are only limited seats available for Pass holders. Rvdborgt is right. You can either take the 10.13 one or go for the alternative that is mentioned. Have a good trip! Cheers,

At the weekend there is also a regional train between Lille and Paris, so included in your interrail pass 😀
