Unable to book seats Marseille to Madrid April 23

Hi everyoneI’m trying to book seats for the train from Marseille to Madrid on 23 April at 08:04 but interrail website says I cannot do it on the website. I live in Italy and am travelling with a friend so we’d like to book seats at the same time to be together. Before the login interrail website gave it available to book, but then it isn’t. I’m not going to be in Marseille before the 21 April so I should book it in advance, but how?Can I do this in Italy? Or can I do it over the phone with a train company?Thank you!Eleonora

Nightjet Rome - Sicily ''ticket unavailable''

Hi!I’m in Rome at the moment and I want book the nightjet from Rome to Cefalu (Sicily) on the 23th-24th of July. When I try to do this on the ÖBB website, it says: ‘ticket unavailable’ even though I clicked on the ‘one-way ticket and day ticket’ button. Does this mean that the train is full? Are there any other websites I could check?Thanks!!

Reservation help - Spain to Croatia

Hi!I would love some feedback. I am considering buying a interrail ticket for the more expensive parts of my trip as especially the ones in the beginning have had a premium price on the traintickets. I believe all tickets can be booked on the interrail site, but the reservations is done here and there? Is it possible to check if there is any interrail tickets left without buying the pass?I think I need to book the Barcelona - Nimes seat reservation as soon as possible if its not already sold out right?When it comes to bookings in france on the site SNCF, how do I know if I buy only the seat reservation and not the tickets also but only the seat? I’m considering getting the 1st class ticket as there might be more potential spots on the trains? My itenary is as follows :Spain flying to Barcelona (start)Francetrain to Nimes,train to Nice,Italytrain to Milan,train to Venice,Sloveniatrain to Ljubljana,Croatiatrain to Zagreb,bus to Split - (looks that buses are the best option here? 6h train

Pass norwege

Bonjour après avoir pris le pass interrail Norvège, nous nous sommes rendu compte que tous les trains que nous avions réservé sont complets. Les contrôleurs nous disent qu’il faut réserver un siège, mais impossible sur l’application interrail ni en ligne ? est-ce déjà arrivé à quelqu’un? Comment avez vous fait dans ce cas ? le principe d’interrail étant quand même de choisir un train un peu quad on veut ou est l’intérêt s’il faut réserver 3 mois à l’avance ?  merci

Seat Reservation Strasbourg to Paris - the time keeps switching when booking?

We purchased EURail Passes and went online to purchase our seat reservations for our Train from Strasbourg to Paris.  We click on the train we want that departs at 8:19 the next screen shows a departure time 12:19 with a different train.  When I enter information each step the time switches between 8:19 and 12:19 with the final screen where you purchase showing 12:19.  Why does the time and train switch back and forth.  I tried different times and it seems to do the same thing with all the times.We live on the east coast of North Carolina and do not know if the time difference is an issue.Any help that can be provided is appreciated.

Dudas sobre reservas

Buenas noches. El día 21 de Agosto queremos coger el tren nocturno Budapest Split. Venta a las 19.01. Hemos intentado reservar desde la app eurorail y no podemos, también desde OBB y pone tickets no disponibles ¿Está lleno ya? ¿O quiere decir que solo se puede hacer en taquilla?Os dejo el enlace: https://shop.oebbtickets.at/en/ticket/timetableEl resto de viajes los haremos sin reserva, aunque sea más tiempo... Nuestro itinerario es Barcelona-Praga-Viena-Bratislava-Budapest-Split- Ljubljana. ¿¿Lo veis arriesgado??¿la mejor alternativa para mirar horarios es la página OBB según mi itinerario? muchas gracias

How do multileg-multi trips work in interrail portal reservation, and findings so far. Hamburg-Kiruna

Hello,The questions below refer to the seat reservation in the interrail portal. Assume traject Hamburg-Stockholm August 4 departure 10:53, Stockholm-Kiruna august 5 departure 18:11)1.Whenever I make a reservation in interrail portal that combines several legs from different train operators all involving reservations: do either all of them succeed or all of them fail, or either some of them succeed (and I am charged for) and some not?2. In the case that the there are several trips, (e.g. Hamburg-Stockholm on august 4, and Stockholm-Kiruna on 5th), each trip added separately in the cart, do all of them success, or in could be that some of them succeed and some others do not?Below it is my understanding of how the reservations work. Maybe it could help some other people . Please correct me if I am wrong1.An overview of the availability of seats/couchetes is not always provided in the interrail reservation page. (e.g. it may allow you to book). However, you need to commit to the reservati

Reservation price difference between Bahn and Eurail?

The journey in question is Strasbourg → Munich on the 22nd of July at 10:50. The journey is through 3 trains (1 regional and the rest ICE).When I book on Eurail, I’m having to pay about 32 euros per train (8 euro x 4 passengers). So this amounts to 64 euros for the entire journey.But when I plug the same info into the Bahn website, I’m getting 8 euros for the entire journey?I know what a bargain is but this seems a bit much :) Have I done something wrong or is there something I’m not aware of?

Paper Reservation for SNCF Marseille to Madrid did not arrive and train fully booked

Hey guys,I’ve been a lurker since I bought my 2 month global pass but it seems like it will fail on the 5th day.Our ticket were supposed to arrive two weeks ago with PostNL but unfortunately the postman marked the parcel as refused without trying to deliver it or ring our bell or give the neighbors or give it to the post office . The parcel is now it’s on its way back to interrail. I tried to contact interrail via email and chat support but they’re not answering. I talked with PostNL but they apparently don’t have any control over it and only the sender can resend it. I talked with SNCF but the woman said she can’t book me another ticket because it’s booked out. We are leaving Germany in 3 days. Marseille is our second stop after Paris. Does anybody know what other options there are? We have reservation but we don’t have the paper ticket. Can we get a copy ticket in Paris office? Do you think interrail will ever answer to us? Even if they do will it every arrive on time? Do you thinks

Can't find the reservation I purchased in the app.

Hello everyone !I should start travelling with Interrail in February and I’m just starting booking my trips.I found the first trip I want to take in the reservation booking tool on the Interrail website and paid for the connections that require a reservation, but I can’t find this journey in the app. For now I have added all connections manually, but how can I link them with the reservations I made ? And for the ones that don’t need any reservation, will it be enough to just have added them manually in the app ?Thank you so much for your help !

Help needed for Stockholm-Hamburg connections

Hi all,I've been struggling to find connections from Stockholm to Hamburg on June 17th for my family of two adults and two teenagers with Interrail global passes. Apparently SJ will be doing track works around that time so some departures from Stockholm are still blocked. However on DB website I was able to find the following connections:8.34 X2 425 Stockholm - Göteborg 11.4012.40 R 1095 Göteborg - Copenhagen 16.2917.02 IC 1199 Copenhagen- Hamburg 21.57The SJ website doesn't show the above connection when I search for the whole journey Stockholm - Hamburg, but does however show all three journeys when searched individually. My questions are: 1) Do you think it's safe to assume those trains will be able to run on June 17 since the whole journey does come up on DB website?2) Will the 33 min transfer time in Copenhagen be enough?3) Where to best book seats for those trains? SJ for the first two and somewhere else for the last one? Or DB service hotline for the whole journey (it says on th

How to book seats once you have your ticket in the Rail App?

On the Rail Planner (Eurail app) I have a Global pass and I’m using 1 trip from London To Paris. I have booked it in the app and I have a QR code for my ticket.   When and where do I reserve seats so my family can sit together? Do I need to go to the station to book?

InterRail vs standard train tickets (SPAIN)

Hi, due to all the problems and uncertainty caused by the Interrail reservations process, I’m now considering just ‘paying’ for train tickets from the UK to Spain. The total cost is only GBP25 more than the Interrail plus all the reservations, but the difference could be zero if I can only get E20 Interrail reservations on SNCF - plus SNCF fares are refundable up to 2 weeks before travel, and Eurostar are exchangeable for free. And I don’t get the huge stress reservations and worrying about getting stuck! (I’m annoyed that I didn’t think of this earlier, as the Eurostar fares are now a lot more expensive than when I first checked).Can anyone tell me whether the ‘normal’ tickets in Spain have a compulsory reservation also? I see on the Renfe website that they have an ‘optional’ reservation for an extra E8, however if you don’t pay the E8, is it (A) you just have to choose a non-reserved seat when you get on board, and if you’re unlucky you might not get a seat with your companion, or (B

Ticket charged fully instead of partially (eurail pass holder)

Hi travellers, have you experienced to be charged a fully tariff ticket although you are a eurail pass holder?I bought a ticket at Paris Gare de Lyon Station, on these self.service machines, and I was charged full tariff for a ticket from Paris to Berlin (euros 213) instead of partially as I have my eurail pass, so I should be charged with just euros 30 - 40 app.Have you experienced this issue? how it was solved?, I try to get in touch with eurail offices or agents but i just got connected with a chatbot, and they suppose to get back to me within 48 hours.Do I have possibilities to get the extra money paid back? any chances? anyone on this community could comment? I will really appreciate it!!Bye for now.
