Desperately for Seat Reservation from London to Paris

Hi, our family of 3 need to travel from London to Paris on 6/12 and I have not been able to make seat reservation from both EURAIL nor b-EUROPE.com. In EURAIL, I can’t find the available. But I can find available time in b-EUROPE.com. But when I enter the pass cover using the pass numbers in my global pass purchase confirmation email, it said my number is invalid. Can someone helps me please!

Villach to Milano - seat reservation, not required but better to book it?

Hello!I plan to take the train that is in the picture. Although seat reservation is not required, do you think it’s better to do it? Will I always be able to board the train, even if it’s full?Thank you!

Website is Bipolar - reservations; ''prices aren't available

I am trying to book a trip from Offenburg, Germany to London on 26/6. I would prefer to travel through Lille so we don’t have to change train stations. There are options but the site keeps saying pricing/reservations aren’t available at this time. I’ve had this issue daily for the past week...which means I’ve been reserving just 1 trip per day. If I try to schedule more than 1 at a time the website goes crazy slow. I really need to get this scheduled. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

I cannot book a seat reservation in general “We can't find any trains that match your search. Please change your search and try again.”

Hello!I have a travel pass for me and my family. But for some reason we cannot make a seat reservation from Kristiansand - Oslo and from Oslo - Bergen and other destinations. Via de app we can see the possible itineraries, but when we go to the website to book (as it is not possible through the app for some reason), I keep receiving this error: “We can't find any trains that match your search. Please change your search and try again.” I have no idea what I am doing wrong, but it is frustrating as we really want to plan our trip.Can someone help me out?

Train order - do I have to get on a train where I left off?

Is it necessary that I take the next train at the same spot where I left the last one? Or is it allowed to travel otherwise in the meantime. For example: I travel to Berlin, now I chill some days. Does my next ride has to start in Berlin or is it allowed that my next ride is from Amsterd (because I travelled with a car in the meantime for example). Thanks guys!

AVE counter officer at Barcelona Sants request to see the app running on phone to be able to make a seat reservation, declaring this is consigned on the terms and conditions policy? is it true?

I'm having two problems with my Eurail pass: I’m not able to do a seat reservation in one of my journeys specific the one between Barcelona Sants - Madrid Puerta de Atocha on the 13th June 2022. I have contacted Eurail customer service about this, they explained that seat reservation between Barcelona Sants and Madrid Puerta de Atocha, have to be purchase on person at the station counter. However as seat reservations are recommended to be purchase at least two weeks prior to travel date, as not many spots are available for holders of Eurail pass, I don't have the chance to buy it until the day of my arrival and departure (13 June), when I need to continue my trip coming from Paris same day.I asked a relative living in Paris to come to a TGV station to purchase a reservation seat on my name, for Paris - Barcelona journey. The TGV officer was very helpful and seat reservation purchase was success.However, I asked another relative in Barcelona to do the same at AVE office at Barcelona San

Change in the itinerary in case of delay or change of plans?

Hi there!I would like to ask whether the train conncetion of a given day is subject to change. For example, I see in the app that I’d need to add a certain train conncection of a given day/time to my Globalpass. However, can I still travel that same day but in another time in case of delay due to train connection or my plan changes?Thanks a lot!

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

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?
