Reservations. Enough time when making reservations in person?

Hi,As it seem to be almost impossible to reserve seats in France and Spain, either it is not possible, or it is, or its just sent by post, how much time is needed to reserve in person?For example, if I arrive in Perpignan the 15th June, will I most likely? be able to book reservation on a train from Perpignan to Zaragoza the 17th?(SNCF) I mean, that's almost 2 days from I arrive in Perpignan, till I leave. Before Perpignan, I will be in Strasbourg for one night (14th-15th), if I go to the ticket office there (14th), will I be able to book reservations there? now its 3 days before?  is it not enough time? who are all these people booking up all reservations, in person! all over Europe? :))) Im traveling with a small dog, so its making me a little bit extra stressed over the situation.

1. Impossible to receive paper tickets as backpacker 2. Any ways to Avoid Hidden Fees?

Hello All!I hope this reaches you all well :). Two quick but very important questions: How can one reliably get paper tickets (in the case when e-tickets aren’t available) when they do not have an address to receive them (I am not in one place for more than 2-3 nights as a traveller/backpacker)? I’ve seen some suggestions in my searches, but wanted to solidify my understanding of the issue/solutions, because it seems so counter-intuitive to the proposed freedom and flexibility of a Eurail/Interrail pass.  I say 'reliably' because getting paper tickets at train stations as a foreigner seems complicated (e.g., which company or station must I go to, will we be able to converse in the same language effectively?), and more importantly it puts me at risk of trying to book a train too late (e.g., I show up and it's full). Another option I saw recommended: searching through various providers and then calling them. Again, doing this chasing, then maybe waiting on hold, just to get an e-ticket

Travel from Zagreb - Split. How to book?

Hello fellow travellers!I am trying to book the night jet from Zagreb - Split on the 25th of June. I cannot manage to find the prize for the seat reservation or how to book it. Tried with Bahn.de and so on. I looked up previous questions here in the community, and is it correct that this seat reservation can only be made on a Croatian train station? What do you think, should I be worried that the train will be fully booked? Is there any other way for me to secure my seat reservation?Thank you so much for taking your time :)//Sanna

Hey, me and my friend wants to buy an interrail ticket this summer, and we want to travel from spain to portugal. However when we searched train times from spain to Portugal it said "we cant find any train times that match your search". Does this mean that its not possible to take trains from spain to portugal. And in thata case where do we have to travel from to get to Portugal. We want to travel to the cities Faro, Lisboa and Porto

Travel-b reservations - need a pass cover number

Good evening, in 2020 I won a paper interrail pass but I couldn't use it due to the covid. Last year I was sent a digital one which I put in the Interrail app. I am trying to make a reservation for a train in France from travel-b and I am asking for the cover pass number. The digital pass does not have this type of code but the paper one of 2020 does. Can I insert the one of 2020? Is it the same pass from 2021 but in paper format? Because otherwise I don't know what code to enter in travel-b

Making SNCF train reservations - mail delivery too late

Hello,I’m looking to make a train reservation for two travellers on 12.6 from Barcelona to Paris. Specifically the TGV 9708 at 9:10. However, when I go to make the reservation, they say they will not ship it to me because it will take too long to deliver by post. I tried going on the SNCF page for tickets, but I wasn’t able to find a place to use the Eurail Pass on the website. Any help would be appreciated. I looked at the seewulf post, but it didn’t seem to have anything for the SNCF site. Also, I’m in Germany. Tried going to my local DB station, but they just looked at me blankly and said there was nothing they could do. I also tried calling 0033 18494 3635 (which I think is SNCF) and they said, no the website is wrong, we can’t help you. So, I’m kind of at a loss, do I just show up early day of and try to get a ticket at the train station?

2nd time "outbound"

In between I came back to Holland (by plane). How does it work when I continue my trip: I check in with my regular ‘train checkin card (ov chip card))  to the border, but how do I find the exact border station and then I probably have to go off the train to check out (in Holland)? Or better to buy a ticket so I don’t have to check out...Biggest change is I go to England. Which station is the border station...Any advice / your experience is welcome. Thank you,

New night train from Stockholm to Hamburg Altona from 1st of September

Here is some information about the new night train that SJ will start running from Stockholm to Hamburg Altona on the 1st of September. The information webpage is unfortunately only available in Swedish, but there’s always Google translate to assist.https://www.sj.se/sv/reseinfo/sj-euronight.htmlThe train has seats, couchettes and sleepers. The price for a seat is from 155 SEK, a place in a 6-bed couchette is from 363 SEK and a place in a 4-bed couchette is from 467 SEK. A place in a 2-bed second class sleeper with a breakfast box is from 779 SEK. The price seems to be the same for a non-refundable and a refundable reservation.https://www.sj.se/en/home.html#/ Here you can make the reservation. Select “Interrial or Eurail” as railpass. As Pass Cover Number an I or E followed by any 8 digit combination will do. Right now there is a bug in the system that only gives the Interrail price on the first reservation if you make a return reservation in the same booking. I spotted that today and

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

My paper reservations won't arrive in time because of shipping errors. Can I somehow get them at the station?

So I booked my reservations with plenty of time in advance. Most are e-tickets but 2 of them are on paper: BUDAPEST-KELETI (Hungary) - BRASOV (Romania) BRASOV (Romania) - WIEN HBF (Austria)However, the postal service somehow has messed things up and my letter is being sent back due to an incorrect address issue. This means I will in all likelihood not receive them in time.So my question is whether I can somehow go to the station in Budapest to get my paper reservation based on my order number?Thanks,Duarte

Pass cover number for mobile pass

My girlfriend an I tried to book our reservations today and found out that we need our pass-cover numbers in order to book them on b-europe.com. The only way I  found is that I am contacted by someone from eurail via private message. If that is true it would be great if someone would contact me so we can book our reservations as soon as possible.

Seat reservation payment not working

Is it just me or is the website really bad at the moment? I can’t click on payment even though I have selected that I Agree with everything :)  Not just this, but all the time the seat reservation is just really bad, it won’t show prices and it gives the error with a message to come back in a few hours?

Berlin - Amsterdam direct train isn't showing on DB

Hi everyone,I already have a reservation for 2/10 from Amsterdam to Berlin on a direct train and I’m now trying to book my return on the DB website which isn’t showing any direct trains for my return leg on 17/10 from Berlin to Amsterdam.  I can only see a couple of 1 change options with the rest being 2, 3 and even 4 changes - am I missing something?  I can’t find any information regarding possible engineering work on the line - does anyone have any ideas?Thanks in advance.
