Problems making reservations

Once upon a time with an Interrail Pass one just entered where one was going and got on board. Total flexibility. But now everything is digital and limited and needs to be booked ahead and printed out….. I have bought a pass and wish to reserve a place from Brussels to Valence, from there to Barcelona, from there to Madrid. But despite going to the web page for ‘Book reservations’ I only get a red blob telling me that no Trips are entered; I have created a Trip entry but this repeats. The ‘timetable’ I fill in with date and time of planned journey does not then go dark to allow one to press a ‘Search’ or anything similar, just brings me back in a continuous loop to where I already was. This is frustrating. I see from other people’s comments that they, too, have difficulties with making a reservation. What should one do?

Problème de réservation

Bonjour, Je compte faire un train trip en Juillet, je suis actuellement entrain de planifier les trains. Ceci dit, lorsque je souhaite réserver les sièges sur l’application “Rail planner”, celle-ci me dirige vers le site “interrail” où j’ai le message d’erreur ci-dessous: “Prices unavailableAucun tarif n'a été trouvé pour cette liaison. Il se peut que les places destinées aux détenteurs du Pass soient épuisées. Recherchez une autre liaison ou consultez « Plus d'informations » afin de découvrir les autres options de réservation. Si les places destinées aux détenteurs du Pass sont épuisées, vous devrez acheter un billet plein tarif pour effectuer ce trajet.”Les pays concernés sont Croatie, Pologne, Prague, Hongrie, Autriche Que dois-je faire dans cette situation. N’ayant pas énormément de temps pour à la gare sur place y a t il une autre alternative pour pouvoir réserver mes sièges ? et je ne souhaite pas choisir d’autres créneaux où les sièges est inclus car cela ne me convient pas.

Hey everyone. I’m supposed to travel from Paris starting on the 31th of July and cross Germany - Tchek Republic - Slovakia - Hungary - Serbia - Croatia - Slovenia - Italy - …I NEED HELP. I can’t book ANY trains or at least the ones I’ve tried. Everytime it says “Prices unavailableNo price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board.”PLEASE help I am losing it.

Reservation Eurocity Italy-Switzerland

Since 1-2 years it’s no longer possible to make online seat reservations for the Eurocity train connecting Milano Centrale (Italy) and Basel SBB (Switzerland).I called both the Italian and Swiss operator to ask if it is possible to make a reservation on the phone. This was not possible. They also told me that it is not possible to make a seat reservation at the station.Based on what they told me, the Global Pass turns out to be useless for the EC trains. Only option is taking multiple (often delayed) regional trains.Does anyone have the same experience?

What is a safe buffer I should allow to change trains ?

My family of 4 (incl 2 teens) are taking the train across borders in Western Europe for the first time in November. So far, a couple of the journeys we’re researching indicate that 1 or 2 train changes are needed. Some of the routes indicate that we have just 15 mins to change trains at a certain station. These include :(i) Munich - Lucerne (8 or 12 mins at Zurich)(ii) Lucerne - Dijon (14 or 16mins at Mulhouse Ville) Qn 1 : What is a good buffer we should give ourselves to change trains ? Qn 2 : When encountering such routes, what are the alternatives without prolonging the journey too much ?Qn 3 : What is the most important thing to do (to keep to our schedule closely) if there is a missed connection using (i) the EURail pass, or (ii) single journey ticket ? Thank you.

Every train ''Prices unavailable''.

Hello, my wife and I purchased Interrail Global Passes for a trip in September. Every train I try to book has the message "Prices unavailable No price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out." I'm starting to wonder if the pass was worth it! Any suggestions?

Seat reservation in france; Nice - Paris, how to book?

Hi, I have a global pass and I am planning a train trip from Genoa to Paris on July 18th. The trip includes a stopover and using the Interrail booking tool I was able to book the Genoa-Nice route but not the Nice-Paris route. The site tells me this message: "not available from interrail.eu this seat reservation can’t be booked on our website.". How can I book this ticket? I do not live in France and it is not possible for me to go to the station in advance, except on the day of the journey when I arrive in Nice from Genoa, but I am afraid of not finding more seats that can be reserved. The train is the TGV 6162 INOUI at 14:16 on 18 July

Trains from Amsterdam to Munich

I am trying to book a train from Amsterdam to Munich on Monday 7th August, but there are very few options currently showing, however there are a lot more options for any day prior to this. Do they release these in week batches and therefore I will have to wait until Monday 20th February for these additional trains to show?

Reservation: no more tickets from Krakow to Budapest?

My niece and I decided to travel through Europe this fall and created a really fun route. One of our plans was to take the night train from Krakow to Budapest on November 10th. To our surprise it seems to be sold out everywhere, is that true? They don’t specifically say that it’s sold out but I get an error every time I try to make a reservation. It says we should be able to book 60 days in advance.If we can’t take this train the rest of our whole route doesn’t work... On cd.cz I get: “No train can be reserved for the specified date/route – this may be due to operational restrictions (e.g. closure activity).” On Interrail.eu I get: “Prices unavailable”When trying to contact CD and the Polish Intercity all I got was a direction on where to book tickets in general. Hope someone can help us figure this out :) This is our first time using Interrail...

How to get a refund for a reservation when the train is cancelled

Hello; In order to do my trip I purchased three 4-day passes, booked seats on several trains and booked hotels. After I had everything set and planned, I received two emails from Thalys informing me of the suspension of two trains (one on the 4th, between Paris and Brussels and the other on the 11th, between Cologne and Paris). These cancellations affected tremendously my vacations, resulting in the suspension of my trip and considerable financial loss (cancellation of the interrail pass, reservations for seats on trains and hotels). Can anyone be held responsible for my losses? If yes, what procedures should I take? Thanks

Night Train Paris to Salzburg

Good evening, I am sorry to disturb, I can’t find a way to connect Paris to Salzburg with a night train (I want to start my trip in the end of june)I’ve seen that I need to book the Asutrian Website, “OBB”, but there is no one way trainI thought it was possible to do Paris - Vienna with a one way train (no need to change the train, and with bed and without stopover), but the better way I found was Paris - Linz/Donau Hbf, and then I needed to change my train to Salzburg (friday 24th of june).I’ve also seen that there are just 3 days of night train from France to Austria, I hope you can help me,Thank you very much !

I didn't get my seat reservation. On the train I got a fine

Hi Am traveling now, yesterday I made a seat reservation in the website but I didn't get the tickets and it happened twice and the amount charged and that forced me to pay 190 euro for train tkt just to back to rome from milano This is the email I received Although your payment went through, there seems to be a technical glitch at the moment which means that part of the order could not be confirmed with the train carrier. You can see the failed reservation/part of the order by looking for the status “PRE-RESERVATION MADE” (successful reservations have the status “BOOKED”).Don't worry - you can still get your reservation (our team will re-book it for you).Alternatively, if you are travelling soon, you can make a new booking for the failed reservation and we will process a full refund for this (to the same account used to purchase the failed reservation(s)). To ensure that you only rebook the failed section of your trip (you don’t have to rebook the entire route), first check the status

Iryo trains in Spain - launching soon.

I have just read that Trainline will be offering tickets for a new high speed service in Spain operated by Iryo at cheap prices. It is part owned by Trenitalia but I assume Interrail passes will not be accepted - does anybody know? https://iryo.eu/en/we-are-iryo-en/ Also SNCF announce a twice daily Alicante - Madrid service under the Ouigo Espana brand.
