Night train Belgium to Slovenia - app doesn't mention seat reservation as required. Is this correct?

HelloI would like to take the train from Belgium to Slovenia.I would depart at 18:37 PM and arrive at 14:32 PM in Slovenia. This means that I will take a night train.I will be on de High Speed Train ICE 619 in Germany at night. When I searche on the app, it doesn’t mention that seat reservation is required. I find this really strange since this is a night train and a ICE train (wich you mostly need a reservation for). Is this correct and can I just sit on the train at night or do I need to reserve a seat? Thank u in advance!Lotte

I´ve been searching the internet for the last hour or two and i just couldn´t find a way to get the job done.

Can't book seat on Eurocity between Visp and Milano

We are trying to get to Rome, Italy from Visp, Switzerland on July 2nd. Thanks to this community, I found the workaround on OEBB.AT and I can book the leg from Milano to Rome, but it won’t let me book the section from Visp to Milano. It keeps on saying “Ticket not Available”. We have the Eurail ticket (ignore the German). Even when I remove the Eurail discount, it still shows the ticket as not being available. Yet, when I look on ItaliaRail, I can book that segment. Why is that train not available for booking on OEBB.AT? (or anywhere outside of SBB or Italia Rail)? View when trying to book on OEBB.AT Same results when trying to book the full price ticket You can book it on Italia Rail

Seat reservations to and in Poland - should I book in advance?

I’ll be starting my journey on the 14th of July with this itinerary (the one from 05:18 → 20:49). I’m unsure about the mandatory seat reservations on the 12:38 EC 59 from Berlin to Poznan and on the 15:45 TLK73100 from Poznan to Krakow.Should seat reservations for these be booked in advance? I’ve read that the best way to do it is locally at the station, but our stopovers are pretty short, so I doubt we’ll have time. I’ve read on intercity.pl that the tickets can be bought on the train for TLK, but there’s no mention of EC. Can anyone with experience in the area tell me if I should expect trains to be full, i.e. if I should book in advance? A friend of mine who’s just been in Poland with Interrail told me that she didn’t have time to book a seat reservation for her trips with mandatory seat reservations, but that it wasn’t a problem because no one asked to see a seat reservation.Lastly: while I’m able to book a seat reservation for the TLK to Krakow on cd.cz, I can’t seem to find a way

Reserving in France - can't click on reserve seat. How to book?

Hi, the Eurail pass is making me crazy! Planning ahead of time our trip to the South of France and imposible to Reserve Seat you cannot click there! And we are afraid that we have all hotels in the south but since we see everything is so booked up and full because of the dates, that we stay with nothing! Please help me figure this out! Somewhere I read that in France you can only reserve an hour before the trip!? But if so, do you really think that because of summer trains get sold out? It is risky to loose our flight back to America… but at the same time I do not want to loose the money we paid for this stupid pass that there is no place to call and so hard to use! please help 🙏🏽thxs, Alma

Unable to book trains online due to apostrophe in my name

Hello,I am trying to book train tickets online and due to the apostrophe in my name it will not allow me. The apostrophe was fine on the mobile app, but when I go online to do seat reservations it says “special characters not allowed”.I have tried deleting the apostrophe from my name and using a space, but since my pass is linked to the name with the apostrophe it is unable to be found. In other post the only solution was that the Eurail team changes the name on my account to one without an apostrophe so please can you interact with my post so they are able to see this and fix my account as soon as possible.Best,Ryan

How likely is it I'll be able to book a seat reservation at the station?

Hello all,In about a week I will be flying from England to Zaragoza before travelling throughout Europe with my Interrail pass (4 days in a month). I have chosen the trains I’d like to get and am happy with booking most of the seat reservations through the Interrail website. However, there are a couple of trains with mandatory seat reservations which I’m unable to book through the website. I’ll give two examples:8th July: Zaragoza-Delicias - Barcelona-Sants. Seat reservation is required and said to cost €10, however there is apparently no way for me to buy it online and the only way to buy it is at the station.15th July: Torino Porta Nuova - Piacenza. Seat reservation is required and said to cost only €3, however the only way I’m told I can book it is through the ItaliaRail website. On this site, I can’t find any way to just book a reservation, despite following the instructions on the FAQ page. I’d like to know if it’s a good idea to wait and buy these reservations at the station a fe

When I add a journey to my mobile pass, do I have to take the trains at those specific times, or is it also possible to take later trains?

I have a question about the mobile pass. Let’s say I want to go from Regensburg to Hannover. If I look up that journey in the app, I find a route that goes via Nuernberg, but has a short transfer time. Is it also possible that I do some sightseeing in Nuernberg for a few hours and take a train to Hannover a few hours later? Or do I have to stick to the specific times of the journey that I added to my pass?Thanks!

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.

Can I travel on a train that requires a seat reservation if I'm told at the station reservations aren't required? Is it possible the info on the app is wrong?

I’ve got an Interrail Global Mobile Pass. I want to travel from Ljubljana to Zagreb at 8.30am. The Interrail app tells me a seat reservation is required. However, when I tried to reserve a seat at Ljubljana station today, the lady told me seat reservations are not required for that journey. I asked if I could reserve a seat anyway, and she said that’s not possible as they don’t do any seat reservations on that train. Will I still be able to connect that journey using the app? Is it possible the information on the app is wrong or out -of-date?

Reservation from France to Spain and vice versa not possible - prices unavailable

Hey,me and a friend of mine are going on an Interrail trip in a few days/weeks, and are now booking seat reservations for all the trains where this is required. We are planning on travelling from Montpellier in France to Barcelona in Spain, and then from Barcelona to Narbonne in France.For every other train, it was possible to book reservations beforehand either on the Interrail website itself or on the website of the local train station. However, even after trying repeatedly, that does not work. It only shows the following message:“Prices unavailable. No price results were found for this connection. It is possible thta 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.”Now here is my question: How do I book these two reservations? Do I need to call the train company over the phone
