Second outbound journey. How to book?

Hi there,After searching these forums for quite some time, I did find questions related to mine, but I still do not know what to do.I will be travelling in and out of my country (The Netherlands) twice in the two months that I will use my Interraill pass. The Interrail out- and inbound journeys are clear, but this is about the second out- and inbound journey.My wife, two kids and me will take the ICE from Utrecht towards Mönchengladbach (and change there). My kids travel for free in the Netherlands with their OV Chipkaart and my wife and I have no discount whatsoever. What ticket do we buy in the Netherlands and how to we make the registration in the app? Do I buy tickets from Utrecht to Venlo? To Kaldenkirchen (where it will not stop)? To Mönchengladbach?It seems logical that the answer to that question will dictate what part I register in the app for interrail travel, but is that really true?And how do we do the same for our return journey? We will be on a Dusseldorf - Venlo train th

urgent! no reservation train

Hi, in my app I’ve chosen to travel mostly with trains that do not require seat reservations. I tried to book a seat for one of them (specifically through DB site) because in the website was written that the reservation was recommended, however once I tried to pay it told me it was impossible to book. Since this train in the app  doesn’t need any reservation, can I still get on and just stand instead?

Euronight 346 booking time and private compartments

Hi,we would like to take the EN 346 from Hamburg to Stockholm on May 20th. It can currently only be booked on SJ.se until around April 8th; it is not yet available for later dates. But you can get it from Interrail for May 20th.However, the only options here are:Bed in sleeper 2nd classBed in couchette 2 classSeat 2 class At the SJ you can book your own compartment for two people and that's what we want as a couple (f/m). Do you also get this if you book two reservations on Interrail with the first option "Bed in sleeper 2 class"? Or are beds perhaps reserved in two different compartments?I would still wait, but I'm a little afraid that I'll miss the time when it can be booked with SJ (which would have to be around mid-April) and we won't get any places.Regards, Christian

Can I make a reservation on Eurostar before I buy my pass?

We are planning a trip next year from 28 June to 12 July.  We are holding off buying the pass to see if there is an Autumn/Black Friday offer.  We can now book the Eurostar for our dates.  Is it possible to make a booking before we buy the pass?

Reservations from Lyon to Barcelona

Dear Community,I need urgently help regarding my booking issue for a connection from Lyon to Barcelona next Monday, 26 September, which is part of my travel from Germany to Madrid. I ordered the Cover Pass Number but I am not able to book the seat reservation for the connection from Lyon to Barcelona on the https://travel.b-europe.com/Eurail-GE/en/booking-tgv#TravelWish website.It does not even show Barcelona as a destination to go to from Lyon.I have no idea how to get a seat reservation now for this connection. It also tells me in the Eurail reservation tool that the ticket is only issued in paper and therefore needs to be sent by mail which impossible to Germany apparently. I already went to the DB Reisezentrum but they couldn’t assist in this issue since its SNCF who is in charge for the connection.I am more than happy for any hints and help.Thank you very much in advance.Franzi

I can't see my reservation in the overview page and how long does reservation refund take?

Hello everyone!I am writing to kindly ask you a question (anyone aswering will be much appreciated). I re-booked the seats as my prior order went wrong (apparently when I first tried there was a technical issue with Italian trains), this time I received the tickets in my email but I can't see the order in the Reservations Overview page in my Interrail account, is that normal?.Moreover, does anyone know when I’ll approximately receive the refund for the first order? I did write an e-mail to the custumer service, they read it  but never responded.Thanks in advance for you help and you kindness. Hope you have a nice day

How far in advance are train schedules published?

Is there a standard rule of how long in advance train schedules are published? On October 24th I tried  to book Paris to Munich on December 27th and it says no schedules available. Can anyone advise me if there is a predetermined lead time say 60 days in advance? Thanks in advance.

Trains not in app?

I want to go from Rotterdam to Porto. When I Google or use other planning tools I can find plenty or routes. But when I try via the interrail app - even when I try just small bits - there are 0 options. Does this mean interrail does not support the trains between certain destinations? Or should I book those seats somewhere else?

Can't book reservation Amsterdam to Paris

I have been trying to reserve my seat for a trip from Paris Nord to London- preferably Paddington, but happy with Waterloo as well. I don't understand how the seats are already booked up when the rule is that you can only book 3 hours before the train. It let me book my train ticket for Amsterdam to Paris, which is a week from now- so why can't I book this one?? It is saying that I might have to book through Eurostar directly - which will cost me 150 euros.... What is the point of this eurail pass if I can't use it for a very basic train trip?! I am just so confused about how this pass works, would appreciate any advice or explanation anyone has for me! Thank you so much.

NIghtjet booking options, Basel to Bremen?

HI!I am trying to book a Nightjet from Basel to Bremen and would like a cabin or two as traveling with 5 people. I am going through Eurail’s easy system, but it only shows me “2nd class — Pass - Berth 6 persons” or 2nd class seats as options. I believe there are different cabin types and wondered if anyone had any advice for me on how to find those and book the right one? Thanks much!

Booking seat reservation issue (Barcelona to Amsterdam)

Hi everyone my boyfriend and I recently bought the 4 day global pass and one of the trips we are trying to book is a route that goes from Barcelona to Amsterdam on May 29th. All routes on rail planner that go from Barcelona to Amsterdam require us to stop in Paris first. We are able to book the train from Barcelona to Paris but all trains from Paris to Amsterdam on that same day say “seat reservation unavailable” and “prices temporarily unavailable”. My first thought was that it is sold out but do train reservation really sell out that fast when we are this far ahead from the trip? If so that's fine but I wish Eurail offer alternate routes that goes from Barcelona to Amsterdam.

Global Pass extra fees

Hello! I have purchased the global pass with 15 travel days. I am confused as to which trains I will need to pay a fee. Some trains, like a train from Paris Gare De Lyon to Geneve require an additional supplement, which I assume is an extra fee. Others list "seat reservations" like a train from London St Pancras to Paris Nord. With the global pass do we need to pay extra for a train with seat reservations or just for trains that say "supplement required"?

Seat reservation

I am travelling through six countries starting in two weeks time. Some of my journeys require seat reservations which I have been unable to make, either through Eurail or OBB (train operator). I started trying to reserve them a month ago and haven’t had any response from OBB Customer Support. Does this mean I won’t be able to travel these routes? What other options do I have? Some of these are the second leg of a longer journey so I don’t want to be stranded somewhere! Thanks

Can I cancel this seat reservations for full refund from Paris to Zurich

I have a global pass first class pass, I would like to cancel this seat reservation  from Paris to Zurich for October 7. It doesn’t state what refund I will get and tried looking at  SNCF policies on eurail website which takes me back to reservation overview page where it statesTo cancel a seat reservation, click on the trash can icon next to it. Cancelling a reservation will remove it for all travellers in your booking. After confirming, it might take a few minutes to see the changes in your account. We'll send you email updates on the status of your refund. All seat reservations are subject to the refund policy of the individual railway company – you can review this before confirming your cancellation. Booking fees are non-refundable  Will I get a full refund? I tried reaching out to eurail support but have not heard back yet. Can some one please answer this?  thanks

Reservation: Pass is active on mobile app, but can't add it on the website to make reservations

This is really strange.I bought my Pass of a third party (Klook.com). I added it to my Eurail app yesterday and activated it. I now need to make some reservations which you can’t make directly on The Eurail app - it directs you to the website. When I get to the website I have to log in again (I used the same email address to log in which I used on the app), it asks me to create a trip and add a traveller with a mobile pass. I use my last name and pass number (the same ones which I used on the mobile app to activate the pass) but it says the details don’t match!Has anyone faced this before?
