Reservation help - Spain to Croatia

Hi!I would love some feedback. I am considering buying a interrail ticket for the more expensive parts of my trip as especially the ones in the beginning have had a premium price on the traintickets. I believe all tickets can be booked on the interrail site, but the reservations is done here and there? Is it possible to check if there is any interrail tickets left without buying the pass?I think I need to book the Barcelona - Nimes seat reservation as soon as possible if its not already sold out right?When it comes to bookings in france on the site SNCF, how do I know if I buy only the seat reservation and not the tickets also but only the seat? I’m considering getting the 1st class ticket as there might be more potential spots on the trains? My itenary is as follows :Spain flying to Barcelona (start)Francetrain to Nimes,train to Nice,Italytrain to Milan,train to Venice,Sloveniatrain to Ljubljana,Croatiatrain to Zagreb,bus to Split - (looks that buses are the best option here? 6h train

Booking seat reservations for IC 1073

Hi all! I’m trying to book seat reservations on IC 1073 (Bern - Interlaken) for mid-December 2023 and haven’t had any luck on the Eurail website or the www.cd.cz website which Eurail recommends as an alternative to book seat reservations. Getting the following error on Eurail website:“Prices unavailableNo price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable.” The other website also comes with this error:“Internal system error (103)” Does anyone have any idea or may have encountered this problem? Could it just be that they haven’t made the seat reservations available yet for the trains? Any help is appreciated! Thank you :)

Caledonian Sleeper not on rail planner?

Hello! I have booked a seat reservation for the Caledonian sleeper, however, when I try to find the train on the app to add to my pass I cannot find it.I added the journey manually, which has given me a QR code. Is this enough? I have printed out my seat reservation but I need to know if this manually added journey will be sufficient to get me onto the train.Thanks!

Reserved seats through Eurail but Journey Changed

Hi! I reserved seats for a train ride from Barcelona Sants to Lyon Part Dieu for March 31. I booked the seat reservation through eurail, and also received the seat reservation confirmation already. However, upon checking in the app - seems like the journey changed. My original seat reservation was for BARCELONA SANTS to MONTPELLIER SAINT-ROCH, then MONTPELLIER SAINT-ROCH to LYON PART DIEU. The journey now for the exact same time departure time from Barcelona became BARCELONA SANTS To NARBONNE, then NARBONNE to LYON PART DIEU.Has anyone ever experienced something like this? What happens to my paid seat reservation? Will it still be valid for the updated journey? Appreciate any feedback for anyone who experienced a similar issue. Thank you!

Nightjet OBB from Freiburg to Duisburg for German citizens

Hiwe would like to travel to Denmark from Freiburg, Germany, to get a ferry there to Norway.It is possible to take the ÖBB Nightjet from Freiburg to Duisburg (starts 00:05) and then from Duisburg on another trains to cross the border as an outbound Traveldays? Someone said, this is not possible for people living in Germany, because the Nightjet is an Austrian train and does not cross the border to Denmark. It only would be possible to take the Night IC (which is actually the same train, but the German part with no cabins) to do this part as an outbound travel. Is this correct?And, in case it is incorrect, where could I buy the tickets for the NJ then, online?Gerne auch Antworten in Deutsch.Viele Grüße aus Freiburg.

Reserving sleeper tickets

We are trying to reserve sleeper tickets from Stuttgart to Ljubliana on 27th July. Every site we have tried says ‘not available’ or something similar. We have tried eurrail, DB, OBB etc. We know the train exists and we are inside the booking window. In fact if we try any train between now and then, we get the same message. Interestingly OBB seems to have tickets in the opposite direction??? So what’s going on? How can we reserve these couchettes? Can anybody help?

We're stuck in Norway

We are in a small town of Norway just above Brønnøysund. We arrived here from Trondheim with an non-reservation train last Sunday. Now, we want to go on tomorrow, but the next non-reservation train passes through on Saturday and we can't buy an reservation because it's post-only that will need 6 days and it seems like there is no personelle here that could help us. Do you have any ideas what we can do to get out of here without paying 120€ for a separate ticket and not waiting here till Saturday and go in the opposite direction we want or wait 1 Week here because there are no digital reservations. The only thing for what I know is ask people that work on the train before boarding.

Booking on the trainline itself

Does it matter that I can’t book on the Eurail pass site and therefore can’t see the trips on my pass app? Both times I have booked a night train.The first from Berlin to Budapest we had to have a seat reservation and booked it through OBB using our pass details. Then the second, from Amsterdam to Zurich, showed it was available and included but wouldn’t let me choose it to make the seat reservation that was recommended - ie my cart was empty. So I have also booked on OBB. Just wondering if it matters that I can’t book them on my pass. Or if I am doing something wrong/not seeing something obvious in the process.Thanks, any help appreciated!

costa Brava to Paris

2 adults, 2 kids (11 yo and 14 yo ) going from Costa Brava Spain to Paris on July 3. the one country pass is so much less expensive I’m wondering if there is a way to take a taxi or short train trip to Perpignan and then switch to the fast train? Or any other suggestions? We want to take the fast train and might do first class since its the kids first train ride and could be fun.

Bucuresti to Budapest, How to make online reservation?

Hi,I have an Interrail GlobalPass and am currently in Turkey. I want to go to Budapest from Istanbul. I have already booked the Halkali - Bucharest journey, and I want to book the Bucharest-Budapest journey on 1 Sep after 5pm.I would like to book the Bucharest-Budapest night journey but on the Hungarian site, despite the addition of the pass, the fares are much higher than expected, perhaps they contain the seat + the ticket and I can't find a way to separate them. On the Romanian site, it is impossible to put a form of discount/pass in the entry data.Finally, on the OBB site, the ticket is indicated as not available. Do I have to wait until I'm at the station to take these tickets? Moreover the schedules on the OBB and Interrail sites are totally different. On the rail planner, I see an 18:25 direct train. On the other hand, on the OBB, I see a 17:44 train with 1 exchange. Which one is correct? Finally, if the OBB site is correct, I’d like to buy a seat reservation but I think the

Cologne to Krakow - train times on web and app are different

Hi, I just posted a topic as the trains times available on the interrail website are different from those available on the app. For instance, I would like to book (and find out about reservations for):Cologne - Krakow (Monday 5th of September) - 06:17 - 18:10 (reservations needed from Berlin-Krakow) However, this is not shown on the app. So how would i show the train ticket collector that I have a reservation? Or is that only for the first day of travel? After that do I just show the QR code? The only journeys available on the app are night trains. Thanks,Alex

Seat reservations but no travel day?

Hi folks! I’m traveling from Alba to Zürich in September and have booked my seat reservations on the train, however I’m unable to book the same time for my travel day since the time does not exist on the rail planner app! Im supposed to take the route that starts 06:07 (earlybird I know), but the earliest journey the app shows me is 07:07. Also the rail planner app shows different trains than the reservations I’m offered. What would you guys do? Any advice?

Trouble making a reservation for friend

Hi there!I have a question about making a reservation for the train. My boyfriend and I booked our tickets together, but I am already traveling and we would meet each other half way. But since we booked together I am the only one who can make a reservation.So, if I make the reservation for him, will the reservation show up on his digital Pass? Or do I have to be with him since I booked it? Or is there another way for him to make the reservation instead?Thanks for the help :)

Train that doesnt require reservation

I will be taking some trains that do not require a reservation. I have a mobile pass and have added the trips I will be taking to my pass. I can see the QR code on the app, is there any thing else I have to do like print a physical ticket? Or do I just board the train with just my eurail pass with the trip active? Because I don’t have a PNR code since the trips are only on my eurail app. Thanks.
