Eurail pass/reservation question!

We are trying to go from Salzburg Hbf (Austria) to Heidelberg Hbf (Germany) on November 25th, using our multi-day Eurail passes; I was looking through the costs of buying reservations because someone mentioned it is nice to have so you have a guaranteed seat, and then I noticed our original planned train (nonstop leaving at 2pm) wasn't showing up anymore on my app; I then updated the app and searched that route again and that train was no longer listed, I am guessing it was cancelled? Anyway, now I am getting super paranoid about our train rides because I guess as this is the low season, they occasionally cancel trains? I have never had this happen before, but maybe because I would just book trains right before leaving.Anyway, sorry for the long question, but I found a new train showing up on my Eurail app from Salzburg to Heidelberg (13:00-17:34; 13:00 Salzburg to Muenchen Hbf on RJX 60, 14:28 Meunchen to Mannheim, ICE 914, and then 17:23 Mannheim to Heidelberg on IC 2046).Are you see

Italy trip Sept. 2023

Hi! My question is about a specific train, which I’m hoping someone will be able to help me with.We’ve arranged an itinerary to and from Italy (using the Interrail website) which includes an overnight stop in Lausanne on the way out. When I first arranged the itinerary, there was a train shown on the website from Lausanne to Milan at 08:18, so I based the 2nd day of our itinerary around that train. Having subsequently checked on the Interrail website, this train is no longer shown, although it does appear on The SBB and Trenitalia websites, as well as the Trainline website. Is there a reason why the Interrail site is not showing it? Also, if the service is running, can we use our passes and if so, how do we go about booking seat reservations? Thanks in anticipation ,Andy

Only 2nd class reservation available

I’ve purchased a first class pass and am trying to book a seat reservation from Barcelona-Sants to Alicante Termino on 17/08/23 at 10:15am, but the aural website is only showing 2nd class reservations available. Does this mean first class is sold out?Can I used my first class pass with a second class reservation?Thanks!

Munchen Prague

hello, I wanted to book a reservation from Munich to Prague on August 14, 2024 but on db navigator it is noted "connection cannot be reserved", this means that the train is full? This worries me because it's on all trains for the 14th...otherwise can I see it on other sites?

Global Pass - MobileApp 2 travellers - Night train reservation together

Hi...Thanks for reading….So here is the core of my question.Myself (M) and a friend (F) may travel together this summer.   Each of us if I am correct will buy their own Global Pass.   And if i understand this correctly...we can add their ticket to our pass pretty easily.However, there are times where we will want to share a double on the night train.   Which means we need to book the double at the same time for 2 different people. (two different Global Pass numbers).How is this arranged in the mobile app?  Is it even possible?What does one do if we both want to be in the same night cabin, but are starting out with 2 different Global Passes?Thanks -paul

Seat reservation TGV with raileurope.com

HiI want to book a TGV seat from Paris to Nimes on raileurope.com (28. 8.)  I found information that it should show the seat number before payment, but I don't see any number on the checkout page. The only option is to select a seat aisle/window or upper/lower deck. Am I doing something wrong, or does raileurope no longer show the seat number?I have bought global pass but not activated yet. Thanks for answer.

Italy (Como SG) to France (Lyon) June 2023 using OBB

Hi everyone, I am helping 2 friends, who are 1st time Eurailers, with the ‘benefit’ of my experience of 4 years ago.😬 They are travelling from Italy-France-Italy in June. They have the first trip sorted (La Spezia to Como San Giovanni), but we're having problems with seat reservations from Como SG to Lyon on 16 June. We can book the 1st leg from Como SG (dep 0904) to Basel (arr 1256) or Como SG (dep 0950) to Zurich (arr 1227), but not onward to Lyon. This is using OBB website, following instructions from other topics.RailPlanner app says that 0904 trip from Como SG needs a seat reservation from Como-Basel and Mulhouse (dep 1357) to Lyon (arr 1656). The 0950 trip from Como SG needs seat reservations from Como SG-Zurich, Zurich-Dijon and Dijon-Lyon.Even if I break down the sectors, as other posters have suggested, OBB says ‘no ticket available’ for both options (only Basel-Mulhouse-Lyon shown below).Basel-MulhouseMulhouse-LyonWhat are we doing wrong, or is it too soon to make this booki

Eurail seat reservations sent by post?

I tried for the first time to make a seat reservation on a Norway train from Fauske to Trondheim through Eurail website and it says the reservation will be sent by post. Is it always the case for all reservations through Eurail? I understand I can make a direct reservation by calling Entur’s customer service, not online on their website, which can be expensive. The other option is to go to a staffed train station in Norway. I am concerned because I will start my trip to Europe next week. Any advise?

Cannot add traveler to trip when making seat reservations

 Hi - I’m having trouble adding the second traveler in my party.  After entering the surname and mobile pass number on this page (I am certain both are correct), I receive the error message in the second screenshot below.  I see that others have had similar problems, but cannot see that there is any other resolution other than to contact customer service.  Is contacting customer service the only solution to this issue? Thanks!

Do I really need reservations?

Hey,I am going to be starting my travel from Bologna/Italy. I was wondering if booking reservations for each train is a must. For example, If I were to go to Florence from Bologna which takes 25mins, would it be okay not to book a reservation? Or do I need to buy 1 for sure? Also, when I go on interrail’s app, it says for most of the train tickets, I must book a reservation. How can I know when I need to book a reservation? Can I just not get 1 for short trips?

Santa Clause Express

Hey :)i am planning my first interrail trip and our route is now trough Denmark to Stockholm, from Stockholm overnight with the Tallink ferry to Turku and from there staight to Helsinki.In Helsinki we want to take the Santa Clause Express Nighttrain to Rovaniemi but i am encountering a few problems while looking for reservations on this train. I have already seen this site which says that the train is included in interrail and lists prices. We want to book a cabin for two people with an own shower which should cost 49€ p.p. according to the interrail site. On the vr website i could’nt find an option to look up the prices with an interrail pass so i went to a train station. Here they said, that they also cant look up the prices for late august, which i assume is due to the fact, that you can only book 60 days in advance. Is that correct or is it possible, that the cabins are already gone?And when the lady looked up an earlier date, to see the possible prices, they were 120€ for that cab

Reservation Arnhem - Split necessary? It says ''you can buy but not required'' and ''no price available''

Hi There,My friends and I (a group of four) are looking for train reservations from Arnhem (Netherlands) to Split (Croatia). On some trains it says “You can buy a seat reservation if you like but it's not required.” It also says there is no price available. Does that mean we are safe to go or do we have a chance of not entering the train because we don't have reservation? Thank you in advance!!!

Did not receive seat reservation tickets (leaving day after tomorrow)

Good evening,I have ordered my first reservation for TGV and Thalys this saturday through the interrail website.The payment succeeded, but right thereafter I got an 403 error. After refreshing a couple of Times I got a order confirmation that stated that i would receive the tickets within 30 minutes. It is 1 hour later and i still havent received An email. Also the tickets are not visible in my account.I have sent a support ticket but they try to reply within 2 days, but i already leave saturday 07:00 in the morning. I am shocked that there is no telephone number available either. As i have only used a german one country pass before, i never had any (reservation) issues before.Do you have any tips for me how to reach out for help? Thank you in advance, Kevin
