Hello. I have been attempting to book a couchette for a night on the Paris to Nice night train in May. It was suggested to me that it was too early to make a reservation but that the booking opportunities for the spring would become available today (Jan. 25). I just tried again and there are still no night trains available for booking. Does anyone know when this will be available? Thanks.

The Interrail website doesn't show any prices indeed for late April or May. SNCF does (but only normal tickets), so I'd suggest to call SNCF. Press #85 for English, no booking fee (Interrail charges an extra €2), reservation is sent via email.

Thanks. If I call SNCF directly and book, do I have to pay the full price for the couchette or do I tell them I have a Eurail pass and only pay the supplement? Do I need to give my Eurail pass number? Thanks.

You say you have a Eurail pass and then you only pay the supplement (should be €21.50). AFAIK they don't need any pass number.

Excellent. Thank you.
