Unable to book on SNCF

I would like to book a train from Paris CDG airport to Lyon, however, the eurail reservation website says it is unavailable, and suggests for me to go on to the train station. I also tried to book on SNCB, it is unable to do so. I would like to avoid booking fees 2€, is it possible to try on any other websites? And based on experience, is the Paris to Lyon train crowded?

But when I try to book the ticket, I can’t chose between the simple seats and the sleeping compartments.

Train reservation not possible because of paper ticket delivery date

we are in Norway from 27.07-14.08 and have planned our trip with the app Rail Planner. Unfortunately we can't book any reservations under "https://www.interrail.eu/de/book-reservations" because it says that the tickets arrive too late at our place (Austria).How and when can we make the seat reservations?Thanks in advance for the support!

If I go the ticket office in the first station I arrive at in Spain, how likely is it that trains for the next day will be ‘sold out’?

I know that it’s not possible to make Spanish reservations on the Interrail app and you have to make them in person at a train station in Spain (absolutely crazy!). I am planning to get to Spain on a Sunday, but want to take another train on the Monday, if I go the ticket office in the first station I arrive at in Spain, how likely is it that trains for the next day will be ‘sold out’? Or trains for 3 or 4 days later (especially the high-demand Madrid > Barcelona train)? Thanks for any experiences/info.PS I am travelling in late October

Major reservation Issue - couldn't get through due to technical glitch

I booked my reservation from Brussels to Barcelona and made the payment, but I got an email from you saying that, although you received the payment, due to technical glitch the reservation couldn't get through. I replied to the email choosing the option that you will rebook it for me. However, until now I cannot see the reservation neither on our app nor your website. Please help me! I cannot reach a human at EU Interrail. I have written them several times but they haven't responded yet...

I need a pass cover number

Hi travel friends, I’m planning to go travel to nice in a couple of days, and since i want to reserve the TGV, I need a pass holder number. Even though we contacted interrail quite a few times now, we did not get a response. We also tried calling CSNF, but american express cards were only allowed. Could someone help up getting our pass cover number ASAP? :) Best, Julia & Tom

What to do when having long transfer times in between connections?

Hi!I am looking into buying the global pass and am looking up train times. On some trips I am looking at, I see that it says it takes upwards of 8 hours to change trains. In that time, am I just chilling at a platform or is there a place I can stay? Thanks!

Is it a problem if somebody else uses your eurostar booking

For exceedingly convoluted reasons my group has a eurostar ticked booked for my interail pass which, due to changes in schedule, I won’t be able to use but another man who’s on the trip will be able to use it. Will he be able to use my booking at the station? If not would it be possible to transfer the booking to him?

Can't make a reservation France- Spain

Hello! For the past few days I've been trying to make a reservation for a train from France to Spain, for late July. I am not able to click the button ‘continue to travel details”. It’s grey and I can’t buy the tickets. I’ve tried making a reservation on the website of the train, but they told me that if I want to make a reservation for a train from one country to another I can do it only on Eurail websait. Is this a problem with the website itself, or am I doing something wrong?Thank you:)

Trouble booking seat reservations 'Paris Nord- Amsterdam; 'no price results''

I'm trying to make a reservation from Hendaye to Amsterdam. I’ve been having trouble reserving for Paris Nord to Amsterdam. Prices were unavailable for a couple of days and now it says "No 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." Can someone help me with this? It sounds ridiculous that seats are available but you’d need to still buy a full ticket when you already bought Interrail.I’ve been trying to reach a human support from Interrail, but the chat bots are broken as well. After asking for my name they either get an error or stop replying at all.

Italian regional trains not showing

Traveling today between Rimini and Bologna the Rail Planner only shows high speed trains. Even if you adjust to no seat reservations. We are going to travel by regional train to Bologna and for later we have a reservation for High Speed to Rome from Bologna. I fear though that the conductor will check the train time in my ticket and say it is not correct. Can you explain to me why the app does not show trains where the pass has validity? Yesterday we had no problem adding the same train in the other direction coming to Rimini.

Seat reservation for me and my group

Hello, I would like to reserve seat for me and my friends with the automatic interrail reservation. How we do to reserve a seat near each other ? There is a system in the interrail’s reservation, or we have to ask to people in the train ?

All about the Balkans - Read before traveling to Eastern Europe

The Eurail map is a lie in this part of the world. I was livid when I found out. There is only one international train running from Serbia and that is to Barr, Montenegro.The following trains have been cancelled and you must buy a (long) bus connection:Zagreb - BelgradeBudapest - BelgradeBelgrade - SofiaBelgrade - Pristina Beograd-SkopjeAlmost every train in Bosnia. The only train that runs is Mostar to Sarajevo, NOTHING ELSE.Many domestic trains in Serbia. Eurail is not accepted Novi Sad - Belgrade. You can get to many borders on domestic trains, but schedules on each side do not work out. You will have to find your own way across the border and overnight in the border city to catch an onward train in all sides other than to Bar.

If I book Eurostar now will that count as my one allowed outward journey or will the pass cover both journeys which in normal times would be one journey?

I have recently purchased a global pass for a holiday in September. My outward journey (all on one day) is from my UK home to Lille. I can book Eurostar now and would like to do that to be sure I am on the train I want. However UK domestic trains will not have timetables issued for September for some weeks so cannot be booked. If I book Eurostar now will that count as my one allowed outward journey or will the pass cover both journeys which in normal times would be one journey?I do not want to book any other part of the holiday because if fares only from/to London are covered then the pass is not worthwhile having and I will return it unused.Suzy

Account and app not connected so cannot book seats

Hi - i have interrail passes and downloaded the rail planner app, added the passes and activated them. I have created a trip and want to book seats for some journeys so have used the link which goes to the Eurail website and asks me to log into my account - done that but my trip isn’t there and it says I need to create one to book anything. Also then asks me to connect travellers to that trip - my passes are already connected to the trip in the app. Do i really need to put the whole trip in twice and how does it know it is the same trip. Have spent days trying to do this and already lost some journeys as seats are now sold out. Can anyone help me see what i am missing here?
