Only one time available to make a reservation. Can I also take another non-reservation train?

I'll be in Spain for 2 weeks leaving on June 14th.Part of my trip has me traveling from Cordoba to Ronda on the 25th. While searching the train schedule I see that there's only 1 time available to make a reservation which is 17:15.Am I stuck with that time or can I just use the pass for a  non reservation on an earlier train?I'm hoping that I'll be able to catch a much earlier travel time. I  planned on 2 days in Ronda and Sentinel de las bodegas and hope that my plans don't go awry because of scheduling.

Questions about reservations supplements

Hi, i’m planning a trip through multiple countries (Austria, Germany and Italy). When planning out my train schedule in “book reservations” for trains “included” in my pass I’m sometimes met with:1) “You’re ready to board”  2)  an extra cost (example: for a night train (nightjet) from Cologne to Vienna) 3) “You're ready to board, You can buy a seat reservation if you like but it's not required.” 4) “+ Additional supplement required, You will need to pay an extra supplement at the station or on board the train.”I’m wondering what these mean exactly.Does “1)” mean i don’t need a reservation or anything else and can just show up and hop on at the station ?If I pay the extra cost for “2)”, I will be sent an electronic ticket. Is that enough in combination with my pass to board the train ?For “3)”, how do I know if a seat reservatiion is necessary (to avoid finding no seat on a full train)? And just to make sure, for “4)”, Am I right for thinking the ticket person will just ask me to pay a

Different latest arrival and departure home country

Hey everybody,since one can only use their global pass to leave and enter their homecountry ONCE, I was wondering if the following scenario is possible: Can I travel from Zürich (Switzerland) to Salzburg (Austria) using trains traversing Germany (my homecountry)?And if that was the case, could I furthermore exit the train in Munich, recording in my Interrail pass like I went to Salzburg all the way. And continue my journey several days after from Salzburg? (I would defininetly not be doing that if it was possible 😉 )  Thank you for your answers and have a great day :)

Incorrect reservation fee charged

I have booked reservation using Global Interrail passes to take a night train from Nice to Genova. I have been charged 122 euro for first class travel but have been issued second class tickets at 3 euros. There are 7 of us travelling. I had intended to book the first class berths. I am assuming the berths are sold out and have been allocated the seats. Is it straight forward to receive the difference for the incorrect payment?

Bought on Myinterail.co.uk

I am having real difficulties booking reservations and have not got a clue why. I purchased my interrail pass via the uk site myinterail.co.uk. Recieved an e-mail confirming purchases with order number and pass number. Input these details into the rail planner app and thought I would be then start booking seat reservations. However, when I come to try and reserve the seats (which you can only do using the eurail site) I cannot see my pass. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? It is drive me insane and I have no response to an e-mail I have sent to both eurail and interrail. Thanks

Book reservations for 8 passengers on Eurail Global Pass (Trains in France) - only allowing for 5 passengers

Hello, We have 8 passengers (2 families: 4 adults, 4 kids) booked on single Eurail Global Pass itinerary/order. We have 8 paper passes in our hand, here in USA. We are trying to make reservations on trains in France (Lyon - Paris, Paris - Brussles) and it only allows us to book for 5 passengers maximum. Is there a way we can book all 8 passengers at the same time? We tried to split the global pass individuals into two groups of 4, but are not able to do it on Eurail website. What is the easiest way to accomplish that? Our trip is in 3 weeks, and want to get reservations done in peak summer time. Thank you for your help.

Does the country of the interrail (global) pass matter on b-europe? ''France'' shows no results

Hello,I’m trying to book a trip from Montpellier (France) to Paris (France), as part of my outbound travel day (transfer in Paris before going outbound).Interrail says ‘no prices available’ whereas I can see trips available on sncfconnect, so I’m trying b-europe. If I set ‘interrail pass 2nd class - France’, I have no results, but if I choose any other country, I’m getting results.Is that become the system cannot understand that it is transfer in Paris? Should I book by giving a wrong country?

Seat reservation next to friend

Hi everyone,my name is Emanuele and together with a friend of mine, I won an Interrail pass with the Discover Eu programm. We are now planning our trip and thought of taking an ÖBB Nighttrain (Amsterdam-Innsbruck) where a seat reservation is mandatory. Since we obviously want to have our seats next to each others, I kindly wanted to ask if this is possible and, if yes, which steps we have to follow to be seated next to each other.Thanks for helping! :)

Stop-over in home country

Hello, I have the Interrail ticket global pass and Germany is my home country. If I travel from Stockholm, Sweden to Munich, Germany with a stop-over in Hamburg, Germany does that mean that I have to pay extra for the Hamburg-Munich train since I already entered my home country once (Stockholm-Hamburg)?

Eurostar to Brussels then Antwerp- need reservation correction

How can I get customer service to correct a reservation on Eurostar to Brussels? I realized after booking this that it was better to take Eurostar to Paris Gare du Nord and then transfer to Thalys because my final destination is Antwerp. I booked this and now I noticed that I cannot take this Thalys train because I will be on Eurostar to Brussels and it won't stop in Paris. How do I fix this? I got no help from Eurail, only chatbot or automated replies

Hi!I am going to travel from Ljubljana - Split on the night train 16.8.2022 with my interrailing pass. But when i try to book my seat reservation / Sleeping bunk it only says “Prices unavailable”, i’ve noticed that it says that through all summer and even after 16.8.2022, i thought that they haven’t opened the booking process yet but when i went to ÖBB to book a seat reservation it said the same, although i could book a ticket + sleeping bunks for 160€, but that kinda remvoes the purpose of the interrailing pass. Anyone that knows something about this / alternative routes?Thank you! :)

impossibilità prenotazione freccia rossa

Salve, ho provato attraverso tre itinerari diversi disponibili su railplanner ad arrivare a Parigi da Reggio Calabria e in ciascuno dei tre itinerari (anche quello che contiene un treno non coperto da interrail che sarei disposto a pagare a parte) è presente almeno un treno i cui posti non è possibile prenotare, sono due giorni che mi dice che il problema si risolverà tra qualche ora. Ho notato che è un problema presente per la maggior parte delle prenotazioni dei freccia rossa nell'intorno all'11 agosto

Price unavailable for seat reservation Karlsruhe hbf - Paris est

Hello All,I’m planning my first Europe trip and new to EU rail system.I have taken a 5 day Global pass and trying to book reservations for traveling from Hamburg to Barcelona on June 21st. It includes two changes via Karlsruhe HBF and Paris EST. EU Rail planner says I need seat reservation to board train ICE 9574 from Karlsruhe HBF to Pars EST. However, when I try to book reservation through EU Rail planner app or their website, it says ‘price unavailable’. My cousin tried to book on my behalf at Hamburg train station and they said it can be done only by the passenger coming in-person. I tried book via DB website too but it says ‘reservation impossible’.Now how do I book my ticket? What are my options other than buying ticket in-person? If in-person is the only option, can it be done anywhere in Europe? (I’ll reach Barcelona in 5 days)I do not want the pass holder seats to run out by the time I reach Barcelona or Germany to buy this ticket. Can somebody please help me figure this out!

Since seat reservation is not required, I won't reserve. What is your advice?

Hello everyone, On Friday 26 August I will travel with DB BAHN to Germany and Switzerland for the first time with 2 people, leaving Brussels at 6.25 am.Brussels South - Cologne, departure 6.25 amCologne - Basel SBB, departure 8.54 am We have a 1st class interrail global pass. When I look on the DB BAHN website to see how many seats are still available in 1st class, I find that quite a few places have already been reserved.Since seat reservation is not required, I would like to take the risk of not reserving seats.I would like to know your advice on this?If a seat is reserved, for example from Karlsruhe to Basel SBB, is this already displayed from Cologne?Isn't it true that we can also sit in 2nd class if there are no more free places in 1st class?
