Making Reservations if Paper pass has not yet arrived?

Hello Community,I purchased a paper pass yesterday and I would like to make seat reservations for some of my train journeys, especially eurostar as I am worried they will sell out but it says I need my pass cover number which it says will be on my ticket that may only arrive on 25th July and I am planning to travel 29th July...Is it possible to find out my pass cover number and make bookings before the paper copy arrives, otherwise can I change it to be a mobile version to avoid the problem? Thanks

First time booking seat reservations

Hello! I would like to know if there is a possibility to book seat reservations on the same day of the departure from the train station rather than buying them online. My friends and I already booked seat reservations from Innsbruck to Rome but we don’t have them from Warsaw to Innsbruck because they were selling only paper tickets (the delivery time was too long). Thank you for your help in advance!

Difference between Interrail website and Discover EU

Bonjour,Je suis étonnée car j'ai pu sélectionner comme voyage depuis l'application "Discover EU" pour le 28 juillet :18h23 Fredericia - 20h03 Copenhague.Or je n'arrive pas à le trouver pour ma mère sur l'application Rail planner. Ensuite j'ai pu réserver depuis le site Interrail deux sièges pour ce même jour :8h08 Amsterdam - 10h04 Duisburg. Or je n'arrive pas à le trouver pour la réservation classique depuis l'application. À quels horaires dois-je me fier (site, applications) ? Et est-ce dérangeant si je ne présente que mon QR code réservation de siège ? Enfin pour le 4 août, je souhaite faire le trajet :7h20 Stockholm - 18h03 Hambourg.Pour cela l'application m'indique une seule correspondance à Copenhague. Or sur le site internet il y avait une correspondance en plus à Malmo, je n'est pas eu d'autres choix que de réserver une place assise entre Stockholm et 11h48 Malmo. Encore une fois, dois je me fier aux informations du site internet ou de l'application ? Merci beaucoup de votre re

Thalys train was cancelled -- new seat reservation / refund

My July 4 Thalys train was cancelled from Brussels to Paris (Thalys sent me an email).  My eurail reservation shows booked with no issue or flag.  I already submitted a request for a seat reservation refund.  Do I just go ahead and book a new seat reservations right away? Or do I wait for someone get back to me regarding the refund/exchange.

No options for night train via Interrail. Am I right to go to the individual train operator’s website and buy tickets (as if I didn’t have a pass at all) directly there?

Hello,I’m a first time user and am a little bit confused about the seat reservations. We have an unlimited pass for 30 days. I follow how to book day time trains, my confusion comes with night trains. Am I right to go to the individual train operator’s website and buy tickets (as if I didn’t have a pass at all) directly there?I ask because on the eurail.com website, when I search for a night train, there is no option to buy tickets in a sleeper cabin, only seat reservations. Please help!Chris

Ferry / Days counted

Hello !I wonder whether or not a travel in ferry is counted as “ a day” with a “10 days in 2 months” global Interrail Pass ? For instance, if we are in Bari (Italy) on July 13th and we go on Patras (Greece) on July 15th with no additional train this day, do we still have one day less due to this ferry trip?Thanks a lot in advance for your help !Sophie

Seat reservation with a paper pass- can't continue without mobile pass number

Hey!Today I bought a paper pass at my ticket office and I now want to make some train reservations. But I‘m unable to continue as I don‘t have a mobile pass number. The only thing I was able to do is to create a „My Trip“ on the app. Is there a possibility to add my paper pass on the app?Thanks and kind regardsSebastian

preston to Barcelona at Easter

Is there any way to check whether I can book Eurostar or the TGV for this trip over the Easter weekend? We are coming back midweek so I am sure there will be capacity on those trains. We want to travel on the 30th and due to engineering works there are no trains into Euston so we can’t get to London before 14:30 - is the only way to check to buy the passes? 15% cancellation fee does seem a bit heavy to be able to check and rule this in or out? Thanks

No reservations in reservation overview

I booked several seat reservations weeks ago and they all showed up in the reservation overview, I also checked two days ago and they were there. However, today they aren’t there anymore. Has someone experienced something similar? Is this a technical bug? I am really worriedFor information: I tried using a different browser, my phone etc. and it still doesn’t show up. One train I made a reservation for got cancelled, could that be the issue?

What should I do in case of control during the journey if I do not book a seat (for trains without required seat reservations)?

Hello everyone! This summer I am going to take a train between Amsterdam and Berlin. Seats reservations are recommended but not mandatory. Therefore, I wondered what I was supposed to show in case of a control during the journey if I do not book a seat? Do I have to only show my pass? And am I allowed to sit wherever I want?Thank you very much for your answers !

Why is there no train to Italy from the 12th of December?

I wanted to visit Italy by train from Germany over happy new year. After buying the interrail Ticket I want to plan my trip, but unfortunately I am not able to see trains to Italy after the 11th December. I don't know why. I mean they suggest to plan your trips three months ahead, but with that I can barely plan more than a month ahead. What should I do? Is there an alternative?

Eurail reservations before travel

My husband and I are coming to Europe for 2 weeks from US, December 16. We will need to have our first train travel day on December 19. I know the new timetable is not out for December 12 and on. Does anyone know when that new timetable will be out? We have the 5 day travel pass. I was reading that you can book through the actual train sites? Is this true? I’m not sure what train sites we would need to go on. We want quicker trains. Going from Venice to Rome to Lucerne to Paris to Amsterdam to London. I’ve done the trains between Amsterdam, Paris, and London before but not booked myself before.

Hello.How can I reserve a seat in Eurostar with the Eurail Pass discount? I know that it can be done in Eurail website and b-europe, but for some reason the are no trains for May 30th in any of these sites. Why there are trains all May but just that day the tickets are sold out? Eurostar have trains for that day but I don’t know where to use the code.Thanks for your time.

Why no reservations Rome to Venice for August

I’m from the United States and brand new at this. I’m investigating the possibility of a train trip from Rome back eventually to London.  I have not purchased any passes yet or anything. Just investigating routes etc.   My first attempt was a leg from Rome to Venice on 8/22, using the ‘Book reservations’ from the Eurail site and I found NO reservations available.  As I started looking more I found I had to go back to early June (there may have been something later that I missed).        Is this really a shortage/unavailability?  Or did just just happen to hit a window where these are not posted yet?  (I’ve read other comments in the community recently about this issue).As I said, I’m investigating and don’t want to get into a situation where I have the pass, but can’t get where i want to, when I want to.    Thx in advance for any help

When will the reservation problem be fixed?

Obviously there is a problem with reservations in general, but there is no official information provided by Interrail, which makes it nearly impossible to plan a longer trip. When is this going to be fixed and why is there no explanation how to purchase seat reservations at the moment? It is very misleading and unfair that you have to scroll through the community to find anything regarding this problem.
