Do you have to print it out and show it on the train along with the QR code on your interrail app or can you put the reservation you have bought on the app?

I am travelling with one other person from Lille France to Bordeaux France and I have the mobile pass, I understand that you can put the trips in the plan on the app and then that will work for taking that trip but I am confused about making reservations where required.From what I understand reservations are separate from the interrail pass but you can make the reservations and pay for the reservation for the specific train time you want to take on the interrail website. But when you make the reservation, do you have to print it out and show it on the train along with the QR code on your interrail app or can you put the reservation you have bought on the app?

Can't book tickets - says ''shipping won't arrive in time''

We are trying to book and reserve our train tickets on the website and have put all our details in but are unable to actually book anything. Not sure what the issue is or how to fix it, can anyone give us any tips please? It is saying that the shipping won’t arrive in time eventhough we have a month and the maximum shipping time is 10 days.

Italy reservations - how to make?

Despite many posts on this forum saying not to worry about train reservations booking out (and Seat61 saying the same thing) it looks like trains are booking out this summer and I can’t get the specific train I want. I was hoping to catch the 7AM FR from Roma Termini to Naples Centrale on 28 July 2022. OBB says tickets not available and the next high speed train is at 8AM which does have tickets available. However, when I look at Trenitalia or ItaliaRail there is an FR at 6:50AM. This train does not show on OBB nor on Eurail. I cannot see a way to use my Eurail pass to book this 6:50AM train on Trenitalia or ItaliaRail. Is there any way I can book this 6:50AM FR using my Eurail pass and paying only the 10EUR reservation fee rather than having to buy a regular ticket via Trenitalia or ItaliaRail? Thanks!

Berlin up to Lisboa with a day stop/over night in Paris and Madrid. Any advice on connections?

Hello, I think about travelling from Berlin up to Lisboa with a day stop/over night in Paris and Madrid (or Night train Madrid-Lisboa) by using a Global Pass in spring. I spent really a lot of time by using the Planner App and or this website - but failed... Is there any way (Service center? Whatever...) to have a working connection put together completely (train connection plus reservation (if absolutely necessary))?Thanks,Ber

No information in OBB seat reservation

Hi everyone,I recently made a seat reservation for Venice to Salzburg (via Villach) for the 22nd of December, and I thought I had done everything right, costing the 10 euro fee etc. I found it a bit odd that it didn’t require any information. Once I downloaded the pdf, I realised there was absolutely no information on it at all? As in the time, stations, the whole rail journey is missing? I’m assuming this makes the ticket not valid. Is there anyone I could contact to fix this?Thank you!

Seat reservation difference between app and web

Hi, I’m using Eurail Pass and I want to go to Hamburg from Copenhagen.On the mobile app(rail planner), they don’t say this connection needs reservation. However when I search by website, it shows me I need a reservation.Does anybody knows which one should I follow?The train connection I want to use is IC.

Issues booking EuroNight

Hi there,Does anyone know if there’s some quirk with the booking engine for booking EN trains?Last night I mapped out options on oebb.at for every possible destination (NJ & EN) from Zurich for a particular weekend (28th or 29th or 30th April) yesterday and later in the night agreed the plans with the others who are traveling.Tonight I went to book Zurich-Zagreb and it shows no availability at all for any of the 3 days. Yesterday it showed availability for all. Sleepers & couchettes for 29th & 30th and seats only for 28th.I know it’s possible that they all suddenly sold out in theory, but in practice it’s not exactly likely that there was a sudden rush for this particular train, for all of these days, in less than 24 hours.Is there some quirk like seats being taken back off the market and then being put back on? Or is there some other explanation for this?Thanks,David

Brussels - Vienna Nightjet prices

Hi everyone, I have some quick questions concerning the OBB Nightjet linking Brussels to Vienna.I’m a scout groupe leader and we’re going on a camp next summer (July 2023). We were planning on taking an Interrail pass for the whole groupe because we want to travel all by train. (let me know if any of you already took that train)Our first train would be the Brussels to Vienna nightjet and I can’t find some usefulll information. First of all, how much does this journey coust with an interrail pass ? I found some people saying it costs only about 30€ and some saying they could’nt get any discount with their pass. Secondly, I d’ont understand the concept of “private compartment”. It seems like its cheaper to take two private compartments of 3 people than taking a 6bed compartment which seems odd. Hope anyone can help us for our camp. Have a good day y’all, Basile

Trains Norway - can't find Stavanger - Oslo S- Bergen

Hi,I am going to travel through Norway starting from July 25. I found this route on the interrail website: https://www.interrail.eu/nl/plan-your-trip/trip-ideas/recommended-routes/classic-routes/norway-itinerary.I was looking to make reservations, but I already am not able to find the 2 first train routes (Stavanger - Oslo S, Oslo S - Bergen) on https://www.interrail.eu/nl/book-reservations#/ . Does this mean they are already booked full? What can I do?Thank you for your help!

UK reservations: App=required, Website=included. Which one if right?

The website interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip says reservations are not required in the UK for day trains and the app says they are required. Which one is true? And how come the same system says two opposite things?

SOS train Karlsruhe hbf to paris

Hi everyone please help. I bought Eurail seat reservations from offenburg to Paris. When I got to offenburg I asked a conductor if the train was going to Strasbourgh where I would catch a connecting train to Paris. They said yes. I’m now on the train, reliving it’s not going to Strasbourg but to Karlsruhe HBF. I’m so upset, I had paid for seat resos already too. What are my options? the trains on the app say I cannot buy seat reservations. I’m assuming this is my fault and I’ll have to repurchase seat reservations again but I don’t know what to do

Seat reservations Spain - couldn't book all via German ticket office.

Today I went to a German ticket office in order to get my reservations for an upcoming Spain trip.However, for a few trains it was unsuccessful because the specific trains or stations were not in their booking system. I double checked everything and the trains are bookable via Renfe and also show up on bahn.de with the same train number, times etc.I suspect they should be able to get reservations for those trains but they just need to enter some information manually, does anyone know more about this? In my experience DB personnel is not knowledgeable and/or helpful about such things at all.To be more precise: it's about Euromed trains Barcelona - Alacant (the IC ones do show up for some reason) and MD trains departing from Madrid Principe Pio.Thanks!
