Hi, I'm getting an error message when trying to make a train reservation. It says "Not enough free reservations left for some travellers". What is this??!!

Best answer by BrendanDB

Try to reserve CPH-Hamburg via this website https://travel.b-europe.com/dsb-rail/en/reservation-only#TravelWish

And Hamburg-Brussels via the seat only option on https://www.bahn.com/en.

It seems that there’s still availability for the most crucial train (CPH-Hamburg) and plenty of availability on the German trains too.

Try the suggestion above. I normally use the DB website (direct url to seat reservation: https://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en?&rit=yes

It should work. Enjoy your trip.

That seems to work - thanks!

But I still don’t understand the error message from Interrail….

The Interrail reservation service is way too expensive for this journey (€8 per person and train). First try to get reservations for the whole journey via bahn.com, see link above (€4.50 per person and journey).

I suspect very few of us understand many of the messages from the Interrail reservation system, including this one.

I can only imagine somewhere there is or was a promotion for free reservations and somehow the system has this message still in its memory banks. I have not heard of this one before.
