Night train Budapest Zurich : Sleepers reservations not possible from abroad for Interrail travelers

Hello,It is not possible to buy sleepers (double) online - or any other way from abroad - for the night train Budapest Zurich for interrail travelers. I faced this problem for several trip attempts...Practically : the option “Sleepers” is not available online on any website (nor at railway station in Zurich, or elsewhere).I called directly MAV : they confirmed that spaces were available. Full Tickets could be bought but NOT only the sleepers reservation for interrail travelers from abroad. They said there was just no option but to buy these reservations from a railway station within Hungary. Quite a heavy restriction !Is it some kind of discrimination ?Thank youJJM

Cannot add traveler to trip when making seat reservations

Hi - I’m having trouble adding the second traveler in my party. After entering the surname and mobile pass number on this page (I am certain both are correct), I receive the error message in the second screenshot below. I see that others have had similar problems, but cannot see that there is any other resolution other than to contact customer service. Is contacting customer service the only solution to this issue? Thanks!

Problem reservation seat ''prices unavailable'' on all routes

Hello to all,I have problems to book different trains on the interrail website.For example, I'm planning to travel from Berlin to Gdansk on July 31st. When I enter the information on the website, I can't make a reservation. It is marked on all the routes: Prices unavailableNo fares were found for this route. Passholder seats may be sold out. Search for another route or see "More Information" for other booking options. If Pass seats are sold out, you will need to purchase a full-fare ticket for this route.I should point out that I could normally book them as they can be booked two months in advance.What should I do?Thank you for your help.

Failure to supply reservations

I purchased seat reservations on the Avignon Barcelona Service for 21 October. These were ordered and confirmed by Eurail who said paper tickets would be posted out. I paid £70. The tickets have never been sent. There is no phone number for Eurail. Repeated emails have been ignored. We are now left with no reservations for this train but have seats on trains just before and after. I am very disappointed with this service and especially the fact that Eurail just can’t be contacted.

Reservierung von (Nacht)Zügen

Hallo :))Wir sind gerade dabei unsere Interrailreise fertig zu planen und verstehen nun nicht ganz wie wir Reservationen machen können. Auf den Internetseiten der Bahngesellschaften konnten wir nicht nur die Reservierung buchen und mit der Interrail-app waren wir überfordert. Hat jemand einen Tipp für uns? In der Interrailapp werden auch nicht alle Verbindungen angezeigt, ich habe irgendwo gelesen, dass man die fehlenden Verbindungen selbst hinzufügen kann… weiss jemand wie? Herzlichen Dank!!

Concerned about not getting seats on popular train routes Southern Europe (Spain, Portugal)

Digging through the posts about Portugal reservations, I understand that I won’t be able to make my reservation until I am actually there. However, I am concerned about actually being able to get seats on a popular train route (Faro-Lisbon) for the dates that I want to travel. It’s all over the eurail website to reserve ASAP because clearly summer is a busy time. I won’t be in portugal until 4 days before I want to take the train (in July). I think I have read somewhere that Portugal does not have the same restrictions as France, etc, on the number of eurail passholder seats per train - can someone confirm this or help point me towards more information? Thanks! Also, is anyone else disappointed in the Eurail program for southern europe? I ended up just buying tickets for Spain individually and am going to just leave travel days unused because I was watching trains fill up before my eyes (for dates months out), because I had no way to book reservations and didn’t want to mess up destina

Eurostar tickets. Can't use my pass on the booking page.

Hi, I’m trying to book Eurostar tickets from Paris to London, they are available on Eurostar but you can’t use the pass on the booking page, however, on the B-Europe site, it says there are no trains available. Any ideas for alternative ways to book tickets? I used B-Europe to book tickets for my outward journey so not sure why its not working now, I can’t find tickets for any date. THANK YOU

Night train start from home country. Is this covered by my outbound journey?

Hey guys, I would like to know if it´s possible to use a night train at the first day to get out of my own country. The problem is, that the train is still inside of my country at 00:01 next day. So I spend one day without going out of my country, which should be disallowed by the rules of Interrail. Otherwise, I saw that night train trips cost only one day (the day of departure), so it should be allowed. Maybe someone can help me to remove my confusion. :D

sofia to vienna, connection time at Vidin, bulgaria

Railplanner app suggests going via Vidin, but there is only 27 min transfer time. Based on limited experience on Bulgarian Rail, this is too short a time for a 4hr plus journey. Has anyone any experience of this route connection？ Any alternative suggestions？thx
