I am looking to purchase train tickets for October 2022. I will be traveling from Malaga to Madrid. When I try to purchase tickets now, it doesn’t show me times available past august. When will I be able to purchase tickets for October?

Do you mean a full ticket or just the REServ needed for a pass?

The last one cannot be done online-just read the 100s of such same postings about to do with RENFE. DO note that ESpana is also very often quoted as being the most pass UNfriendly system there is. it also has -by far- the worst website for online of all EUR-s burocratic state railways.

As mentioned above, you can book 3 months in advance, but keep in mind that reservation can only be made at local train stations: https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/reservations/how-do-i-book-my-reservations. Cheers,

And via DB (ticket office or via phone).
