I am planning my first Interrail trip for this summer (~5 to 16 August, approx). My desired trip would be something such as: Lyon (departure city, I am not staying there) → Mannheim → Munich → Budapest → Bratislava → Vienna → Strasbourg → Lyon (arrival). I am flexible on dates and visited cities.
I would like to book night trains in this trip, and Munich - Budapest then Vienna - Strasbourg seem to fit perfectly. However I can’t book any using the nightjet website: “no offers available”, but there are offers in July. Do you know what is going on there ? I’ve tried contacting OBB via their phone number but no answer.
Thanks!

Bookings are probably not open yet.
Stuttgart/Munich - Budapest is available until 11th July at the moment. I might suggest going to Augsburg from Munich so you have a longer night sleep.
Otherwise have a look at Vienna - Zurich (rather expensive) or Vienna - Bregenz (very affordable thanks to subsidies*, shiny new carriages). From both cities you can easily reach Lyon during the day. :)

Well just now I saw that I can book Munich - Budapest, but still not Vienna - Strasbourg. You may be right about the bookings not opened yet. Departure from Augsburg is at 23:04 and from Munich at around 23h54, I guess the difference is not that much. And yes also I didn’t precise that I may like to stop at Strasbourg to see some friends and have a stop there. I’ll check anyway about Zurich and Bregenz, thanks!!
