Train connections & reservations

If my Interrail Pass is valid until 17 August, am I allowed to start my journey back home on 17 August at 2 pm, even if I don't arrive until the morning of 18 August at 8 am?

On 29 July I am taking this journey:San Sebastian 10:59 to Valladolid 16:01 with Renfe MD 18012Wait 1:32Valladolid 17:33 to Oviedo 19:48 with Renfe AVE 4161 This is my first time in this part of Spain, so I would really like a window seat. Especially on the first long section.What is the best/cheapest way to get this?Raileurope.com can't sell reservations for the first section. They say it has to be bought at the station. But I am worried that the window seats will be sold out.Raileurope.com can sell a reservation for the second section. And I can ask for a window seat. It is not possible to select a specific seat, but I can see the seat number before paying. And try again if I want a better seat. (I can find a seat map on other sites). This train has a 2+3 configuration. So I would prefer to sit in the 2 seat side if possible. It costs 10€ plus a 2€ reservation fee (but no booking fee - I don't know the difference)Another option is Interrails own reservation system. Here I can book a

Hello  I have planned to travel from tornio itainen to helsinki by eurail global pass. As a pass holder, I need to reserve my seat. I have checked several website and apps like DB, SBB, Oebb, eurail. None of them reserve seat in finnish railway trains.My concern how would I able to reserve my seat from tornio itainen to Helsinki. I have heard that VR call centre or Train station are the only way to reserve seat in Finland.Is there any ( website/apps) where I can reserve my seat.Note: VR apps able to purchase ticket with reservation. There is no option of seat reservation only. Profound regards

I am to late with reserving seats for the trains i need to get. Now its saying i cant get on the train if i dont have a reservation, but its full already. I have bought the pass, booked appartements and planned everything around these locations. What can i do to fix this?

Hi, We have bought a first class pass for this summer, and are planning on going from Denmark to France and back. We are wondering if it is necessary to reserve spots in the reservations optional trains or if we, because we have the first class pass will be more likely to get a spot even without the reservation since we have the first class pass?  

Hi - when I was planning my Interrail journey (out Wed, 1 July) there were no reservations needed for DB trains at all.I’ve now seen that it looks like they are needed not just on the return route which I’d come across in May but also arriving via Amsterdam. The ES is meant to arrive 16:22, and I had two options for getting to Hannover - first one via Duisburg, leaving Amsterdam 16:38 so quite tight but doable if the ES is on time, the second direct on the route to Berlin, leaving 18:00.As I now appear to need a reservation (hopefully still available somehow somewhere), I don’t think I can just wait and see as I was hoping to do - one of the good things about Interrail. But if I were to buy the reservation for Duisburg but then miss the connection, would it be valid on the alternative later route not via Duisburg?The DB website does give both those two connections for that ES (which I’d booked ages ago of course), nothing else. So there is no other choice I think, e.g. a later Duisburg

Hi, (first time I use Interrail)I already booked all seats/berth reservations for a trip directly at Deutsche Bahn, SJ, ÖBB. Now the timetable has changed and I had to rearrange my whole trip. No problem, I’m flexible.I divided my trip into several journeys and will activate my pass on the first travel date which is within 2 days.Now I cannot add the already booked night train journey from Stockholm to Hamburg because all places meanwhile are sold out (the confirmation of my reservation is still valid). I see no possibility to manually add a journey. What should I do?

I am planning to travel tomorrow morning from Oslo to karlstad, with first class pass.Can anyone clarify if seat reservations are required? The planner shows optional for IC trains, but other information suggests they may be required for both IC and hst?If they are optional, any experience with whether it will be easy to get a seat on the morning 727am train?!

Hello! We're traveling from Lucerne to Füssen, Germany. There's 2 interchange of only 7 minutes. Lucerne to Zurich is IR 2571 arriving at Platform 10Zurich to Buchloe is leaving from Platform 34. Do we have enough to get from Platform 10 to 34? Thank you so much. 

I had booked tickets with reserved seats on the train between Munich and Prague on August 7th. Now, however, the train no longer departs from Munich, but from Regensburg. The question is: are tickets and reserved seats still valid? The train number is the same, only the departure station has changed. I asked the Czech Railways but they told me that I have to ask the Swedish SJ Railways because they made the ticket. This is impossible! I don't know who to ask anymore!

Hello,I am travelling to Istanbul, Bucuresti and Sofia this summer with my girlfriend and have a question about the Bosphorus night train.If I am correct the interrail planner does not give the correct data for the Bosphorus train from Bucuresti Nord (Romania) to Halkali (Turkey) and from Halkali to Sofia (Bulgaria), and you have to buy the seat reservations at the train station itself.We’ll arrive in Bucuresti on August 4th and want to take the train to Halkali the next day. We also want to take the train from Halkali to Sophia on August 10th. I was wondering if we can buy both reservations in Bucuresti on the 4th. And is there a big change that the train will be sold out already? (the 4th is on a Monday).Thank you in advance!!Floris

Hi,I have an Interrail GlobalPass and am currently in Turkey. I want to go to Budapest from Istanbul. I have already booked the Halkali - Bucharest journey, and I want to book the Bucharest-Budapest journey on 1 Sep after 5pm.I would like to book the Bucharest-Budapest night journey but on the Hungarian site, despite the addition of the pass, the fares are much higher than expected, perhaps they contain the seat + the ticket and I can't find a way to separate them. On the Romanian site, it is impossible to put a form of discount/pass in the entry data.Finally, on the OBB site, the ticket is indicated as not available. Do I have to wait until I'm at the station to take these tickets? Moreover the schedules on the OBB and Interrail sites are totally different. On the rail planner, I see an 18:25 direct train. On the other hand, on the OBB, I see a 17:44 train with 1 exchange. Which one is correct? Finally, if the OBB site is correct, I’d like to buy a seat reservation but I think the

I have a purchased Eurail pass with provision for first class seating.  Do Seat Reservations need to be made through Eurail or can they be purchased thru DB, SNCF, Rail Europe, etc? If so, details please. Also, Eurail shows seating reservations are not open for 5 of my 7 legs of travel; however, Rail Europe shows seating reservations are open for all. Why the difference; is there a remedy on Eurail? 

I have been previously able to access the LTG Link site to book seat reservations from Vilnius to Warsaw. However, the LTG Link site seems suddenly to have decided to not allow access from Australia. Does anyone know if this is temporary, seasonal (with the high season approaching), or an IT fix I’d need to find locally (in Australia - eg using a VPN or similar)? I was hoping to book a couple of remain legs of our trip in Lithuania next week when I believe bookings open and don’t want to miss out on seat reservations, especially as some trains only run once per day.

I know that similar questions have been asked, but I am still confused. If I want to travel on a train that does not require a seat reservation do I just rock up on the day and show my global pass?

I bought my ticket through the mobile app and somehow the ticket receipt shows a seat, but I didn’t pay extra and I thought it would be paid from my own money. Also, when I search the ticket number on the official train website, it doesn’t show up.I also wanted to know if there’s any problem with bringing luggage, since my partner (who doesn’t have the pass) had to pay for luggage, but nothing showed up for me about that.My train ticket is from Warszawa Centralna to Krakow Glowny (train: 1304 EIP)

we would like to be sure that there are free Seats on the trains we should use before we by our interrail pass

I’m confused as i want to take the train from bratislava to zilna and then further to kosice but on the timetable it says i need a reservation  meanwhile if i look at train types on the interail app it says the trains i would be taking don’t need seat reservation only with 1st class and that besides that they are optional and on the interail site it says too the trains are reservation optional (picture below) so just to be sure i thought i ask to be sure if the timetable isn’t wrong or such  

In july I want to travel from Amsterdam to Prague, I booked the seat reservation for Amsterdam - Berlin, but for Berlin - Prague it said seat reservation is recommended, but not required. All the seats are sold out though, will I still be able to travel that time slot? Will I just be able to stand somewhere or is that not allowed. The train is a Rail jet I think!

Hello, I am currently booking the trains for my trip, and for the route from Venice Mestre to Linz Hbf I would like to reserve a couchette berth, but I am unable to do so. How can I make the reservation?Thank you very much, and have a nice day.Kind regards.

Is there any platform where I can select my seat for French trains and Spanish ones? As I saw that on the interrail service you are getting random seat allocations. 

Hey everyone! So I’ve got seat reservations and a mandatory supplement booked for my train tomorrow from Verona to Munich, but on the reservation tickets it says the reservation is invalid without the proof of reservation being printed. I don’t have access to a printer and my journey is early tomorrow, so can anyone tell me whether it’s actually necessary to print this out, and if there’s any way to print them at the station or something? Thanks, and fast reply appreciated!!

Hi,  I have bought my interrail pass and added the pass number to the App.  I can’t book LNER Seats, the page which is supposed to say ‘Select Your Train Times’ says ‘Sorry No Journeys can be found.  Please try another search’.  Is anyone able to suggest what's going wrong?   Is it because I’m trying to book in advance of 12 weeks?  Even although it will allow me to book a ticket? Many thanks 

Hi we need to reserve the seats for this specific nightrain. However it only shows ticket not available. it says this for all of these trains on this route. So do we need to get it in person on the train? or could we just like sit in the train and explain? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
