Traveling from London to Paris via Eurostar, but no seat reservations left

Trying to travel from London to Paris on May 30th, 2022 with my family (preferably in the morning).  There are 4 of us total with 1st Class Global Eurail Pass Currently no seat reservations show available between May 26 and June 1st. I’ve checked both Eurail reservation and b-europe.com  Have checked with connections through Brussels and Lille with no options on May 30th. If there are still open seats on the day of travel, with those seats be opened to Eurail passholders?

Reserving 2-bed couchette Bucharest Istanbul Train via CFR

Hi. Looking to buy a ticket from Bucharest to Istanbul via the Romanian State Railways website. I know that this is more expensive than necessary given that I am buying both the ticket and the reservation, but I want everything to be booked before starting our journey as I am travelling with my fret-happy father. However, online it seems like one can only book a place in a  4-bed couchette, despite the fact that I know other options should be available (3-bed, 2-bed, etc.). Is there any way to book a place in a 2-bed couchette online? If not, and I have booked the 4-bed couchette in advance, is there a way it could be upgraded at Bucharest train station if there was availability, provided I paid the difference? Thanks!

Consulta sobre reservas Eurostar

Buen día!Quisiera consultar sobre mi pase de Eurail y sus reservas.Tengo un pase de Eurail que se activaría el 01-01-2022 y tengo 4 vouchers de Eurostar, para los cuales tengo que definir una fecha para su utilización antes del 30-12-2021.Me gustaría saber si esos vouchers de Eurostar son para reservas flexibles de Eurail y cómo tengo que hacer para utilizarlos, ya que todavía no tengo una fecha decidida de viaje, por los motivos conocidos de la pandemia.Según leí en la página de Eurail, si esas reservas son flexibles, puedo definir una fecha de uso y puedo cambiarlas hasta 7 días antes sin gasto alguno. ¿Es así?Espero sus comentarios, muchas gracias!

How to book a train if it shows "you're ready to board"?

Hello! We are traveling with discoverEU interrail pass and we want to book our train from Ljubljana to Venice. Details about the train: from Ljubljana it departs at 18:53, 21:32 arrives at Trieste Centrale (Italy). Then we wait for 34mins and from Trieste Centrale, at 22:06 we continue our trip to Venezia Mestre, where we arrive at 23:50. Is there any possibility to book a train reservation on both of these trains? They both appear as “you’re ready to board”, but we would rather be sure. Thank you for your answers!

Experiences Irun to Araya - should be booked in advance but only possible at train station

Hi! I’m now planning to cross the border of France to Spain by going from Bordeaux to Hendaye, and walking to Irun from there (30 min walk according to the SNCF planner). However, when trying to go from Irun to Araya (eventually Pamplona), there is a reservation to be made with a small fee. I cannot book this in advance, the ‘how and when to book’ page only states I should book at major train stations AND the warning that I should book in advance… Has anyone done this trip section who knows how to book in advance?

Reservation Wien - Venezia; not available

I Wanted to go from Wien to Venezia. In OBB it says that ticket is not available, which I guess that this means that is free for Interrail users. But, in the other hand, in Rail Planner says that I have to book a reservation to get into that train. What does that mean?

How do I know if I have a sleeper seat for a night train?

Hello! I booked a night train but I am not sure if I have a sleeper seat. There was not an option to choose.

Issues booking seat reservations for early September. Advice?

Hi!I’m researching different train websites and trying to book seat reservations (for 2 people) for our trip in early September.I am having a few issues: not all of the train journeys/timetables are the same as on the Interrail app (showing different times, showing different changes etc), and they all appear to be sold out or unavailable to reserve on all websites (despite the rail planner app saying reservations are mandatory). Is it likely that these trains would be sold out with just less than 2 months to go? If not, would we be able to book them once we get to the country at the train station or even on the day?My route is (using times shown on interrail app):8th September:Salzburg (1:40am) - Lesce-Bled (7:30am): with a change at Schwarzach-St.Veit 2:30am-4:25amDo you know if this night journey will have sleepers, or is it just seats?This is the train journey giving us the most issues. It was either this night one or a 15 hour journey during the day!On the interrail website, I coul

Adding reservations made in external systems

Hi! I reserved a seat on a train going from Paris Montparnasse to Bordeaux. This was not possible via the interrail website, but it worked fine from the second link and a QR code was sent to my email. However, is it possible to add this ticket to the app anyways? Or do I always have to show it from email/printed if I make a reservation from an external system? (they also didn’t ask for the number of my interrail pass so it might not be connected?)

I've paid for seat reservation but had no confirmation

Hi, about 2 weeks ago I booked seat reservations for my EU rail pass for my family on the TGV from Perpignan to Paris on 27 Aug. My credit card has been charged but I've had no email conformation, and when I email customer services I get no response. Any ideas how to sort this would be welcome, thanks!
