Seat Reservation from France to Spain -booked as paper ticket but mistake in address

Hello :)I bought a ticket from Lyon (France) to Barcelona (Spain). For this reservation there is no e-ticket, so I need the paper ticket. Unfortunately I made a mistake in my address so the ticket could not be sent to me. What can I do now? Best regardsJohanna

Hotel address for sending reservation by post

I have a Global Pass but need to reserve a ticket from Barcelona to Paris. The Eurail website says the reservation will be sent by post. Can the ticket be sent to my hotel in Barcelona? What will I write in the First name and Last name entries?

Reservation needed or not?

Hi,i have booked a trip from Copenhagen to Hamburg 2 months back itself. At that time, for that train no reservations were needed. still now just that journey exists in my trip without any highlights ( like ‘seat reservations needed’ highlight notification which I got for some other trips )now I thought to change time of my journey and now it says seat reservation needed. So, I did not do any change. my question is if I continue with my original journey booked 2 months back, for which I have ticket (QR code), will it be sufficient or do I need to reserve seats there also? I am confused because QR CODE DOES NOT HAVE ANY SEAT NUMBER ,it just says second class. Kindly help me.Note; I have monthly EU global interrail pass

How to request a refund for paper ticket reservations - Spain

I did buy some paper ticket reservations for 4 persons next week for Spain, but I can’t use them. Is it possible to give them back? Would it be allowed to just give them to somebody else? If yes, is there a common forum for that?

Seat reservation not possible - ''prices unavailable''

Hi,the end of July I want to travel from Prague to Budapest. I wanted to book seat reservations via the Interrail/Eurail website but it just sais Prices unavailable. I guess because of all the reservation for interrail travellers are sold out already.But on the website of the czech railroad it’s still possible to book a seat reservation. My question is i if it’s ok to make the reservation on this website (and if it’s valid in combinaion with my interrail pass) or does it necessarily need to be booked via the Interrail-website? Best regardsJohannes

Seat reservation| ticket send to home adress

Me and my friends will be travelling in eastern Europe with an interrail pass. We've been about to book the seat reservations for the train lines that require a reservation. The problem is that there is only the option to get them send to our home adress as a printed version.My question is if the seat reservation works with a QR code or reservation number so that a friend at home just need to send pictures of the reservation tickets or if we need it as a printed form.Thanks in advance!!!You guys are our last hope !!:D

Reserved e-tickets that need to be printed - does it work to just show via email

Hey! So I was interrailing last spring and had no problem with my reserved seats since I had them all printed out. I would however like to do a trip with no planned route or anything like that, ehich means that I can’t reserve and print the tickets at home beforehand. I was wondering if the e-tickets work fine by showing them from my email even though it says on the Interrail website to print all of them just in case.

Another Hamburg to Copenhagen thread

Hi,I was trying to book a seat reservation for the IC 394 form Hamburg → Copenhagen on the Eurail site and https://www.bahn.de/ but had problems like others. I read this post I was hoping to clarify what to do.Is this the website to book on https://travel.b-europe.com/dsb-rail/en/reservation-only#TravelWish? Does that get you all the way from Hamburg → Copenhagen and back again?Or do you need to split up the journey and make seat reservations on the Germany side and then on the Denmark side? Thanks

Hello! We are traveling with discoverEU interrail pass and we want to book our train from Ljubljana to Venice. Details about the train: from Ljubljana it departs at 18:53, 21:32 arrives at Trieste Centrale (Italy). Then we wait for 34mins and from Trieste Centrale, at 22:06 we continue our trip to Venezia Mestre, where we arrive at 23:50. Is there any possibility to book a train reservation on both of these trains? They both appear as “you’re ready to board”, but we would rather be sure. Thank you for your answers!

Reserving 2-bed couchette Bucharest Istanbul Train via CFR

Hi. Looking to buy a ticket from Bucharest to Istanbul via the Romanian State Railways website. I know that this is more expensive than necessary given that I am buying both the ticket and the reservation, but I want everything to be booked before starting our journey as I am travelling with my fret-happy father. However, online it seems like one can only book a place in a 4-bed couchette, despite the fact that I know other options should be available (3-bed, 2-bed, etc.). Is there any way to book a place in a 2-bed couchette online? If not, and I have booked the 4-bed couchette in advance, is there a way it could be upgraded at Bucharest train station if there was availability, provided I paid the difference? Thanks!
