seat reservation


Angelica Molina

Hello. Does anyone know how to book a seat reservation? I bought a global pass but haven’t been able to reserve.

Best answer by thibcabe

Paris - Lille : use https://travel.b-europe.com/Eurail-GE/en/booking-tgv#TravelWish

- 18:46 - 19:48 20€ 2nd class or 19€ 1st class (with a 2nd class pass)

Afterwards regional trains to Bruges (arrival 21:44) : reservation not possible. Add the train to the app like usual (in order to get a ticket) and board.

10€ per person if you leave earlier (17:16 or 17:46)

OR

Paris - Brussels : 17:25 or 19:25 departures, 27€ seat reservation. Quota so book well in advance. Use : https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/Pass#TravelWish

Brussels - Bruges : reservation not possible

~~~

Bruges - Brussels : not possible, see above. Board one of the many trains available.

Brussels - Paris : 27€ seat reservation, use the link above. Cheaper if you take regional trains to Lille and then the TGV.

Avoid the direct TGV between Paris and Zurich as it has a 37€ seat reservation fee. Instead take a TGV within France and then a regional train across the border (not much longer). 13th July is the day before French National Day so a lot of people will be travelling, do not wait to book.

Here are 2 options, both using the first link above (Paris - Lille). You can make all thesr journeys in a single order to save booking fees.

- TGV Paris-Est - Strasbourg 17:25 - 19:11 10€ (arrival in Zurich at 22:00)

- TGV Paris Gare de Lyon - Mulhouse 18:22 - 21:03 20€ (arrival in Zurich at 23:02)

Seat reservations in Switzerland are a complete waste of money, nobody makes them. For the Bernina Railway : either you take the Bernina Express (26 CHF mandatory seat reservation for the panorama carriages or free in the regular carriages at the front) or hourly regional trains.

Tirano - Milan : reservation not possible. Please note that due to engineering works you'll have to take a bus to Sondrio first (pass valid).

Milan - Florence : tickets.oebb.at (no booking fee) -> add Eurail as a discount and select one-way tickets. 13€

Milan - Lake Como : reservation not possible on regional trains. Avoid the EC to Como (10€ and not faster)
