Paper ticket won't arrive in time, can we pick up in station?

We’re trying to travel from newcastle uk to figures vilafante spain, and need to make seat reservations. We have successfully done so for eurostar, but the french connection requires sending paper tickets and there is insufficient time. We can’t have our tickets sent to a hotel in France as we’re doing the trip in one day and not staying at a hotel.Does anyone know how we can make a seat reservation and pick up from a ticket machine or station?I know we could risk it and try and make a seat reservation when we arrive at the station in France, but I want to book it in advance, and pick up the paper ticket for the reservation when we arrive.Also, we’ve tried calling SNCF and they weren’t helpful or clear about how to proceed.

Hi Everyone!I`m Alba, live in Germany but I´m from Spain.These Winter I would like to spend two weeks with my Family in Seville, but I don´t want to travel with plane, so… I decided to take only train for the journey. I found some difficulties to check the travel and I need some help…I already check that I need 2 Days travel for my destination, Essen - Brussels, Brussels-Lyon, Lyon-Barcelona (first day), Barcelona-Seville (second day) but, I don´t have any idea about the reservation requirements… How can I estimate how much are going to cost the hole trip? Can I check this before I buy the Worldpass? Thanks !

Reservations Spain and Portugal at train station

Hi all,We would like to use your help. In three weeks we will go to Spain and Portugal by Interrail. Now I read that the reservations cannot be made online or via the reservation system. If this is correct, there are a number of options left. One of these is reserving tickets at the train stations. Now I have a few questions about that:1. When we arrive in Madrid, can I immediately book the tickets there for our train journeys to Malaga and Seville?2. When we arrive in Faro, can I immediately book the tickets there for our train journeys to Lisbon and Porto?3. What are the costs for these reservations? Is this extra compared to the Interrail pass? If so, how much?We would be very helpful if you could help us with these questions. We are very curious so would like to hear from you!

Nightjet Brussels - Wien price

For the Brussels - Vienna direct connection.Is there always a discount if you book together with an Interrail pass?Because if I check a few dates on the OBB website, and look with and without an interrail pass, the price doesn't change at all.If I understand the prices correctly via the following link: https://www.nightjet.com/nl/buchung/tarifinformationen/interrail-eurail-paesse, then I arrive at a reservation price of 14 + 144 + 20 euros = 178 euros.But I see a lot of prices of 229.90 euros for a single deluxe sleeper cabin.Who can give me more information about this?Thank you!

Can''t find connection Zurich-Prague

Hi, I am new to interrailSo I wanted to make a reservation for the nighttrain EN 50467 (Zurich-Prague). On the rail planner app I can find this train and it says that it is a direct train. But I can’t seem to find this train on any other website, not even on the czech railway website. The only other connection I found (leaving around the same time) is one where I would have to change trains early in the morning and that would mean I would have to use 2 travel days (if I understood that right). And this connection isnt even shown ob the rail planner app so I wouldn’t be able to connect it to my mobile pass (i think).Please help:(

Reservation trainticket Paris-Barcelona

I would like to reserve the train from paris to barcelona on 19th of August. In the reservation tool I see this can only be a paper ticket. However, it is not possible for me to organise this. Is there a way to get a e-ticket? Can I for example go to the trainstation of Amsterdam tomorrow to reserve this ticket? Or is it only possible to do so when I am in Paris?@community manager - I see there are more people with this question. Thanks a lot! :)Pomme

Price difference when booking a seat TGV

Hey, I discovered by accident that there is a price difference for a seat reservation with interrail!Via a website of B europe (photo) you will find prices of 10 euros for a connection with 2 TGV for example Lille - Marseille or Lille - Bordeaux!This is always with a change in Paris.The interrail website charges 20 euros for this! Both without the mandatory reservation costs. Could this be an error on the B europe website? Otherwise this is very interesting. @seewulf

SNCF train reservation

Hello, I went to Slovenia for the holidays with the interrail pass and I am in the process of organizing my return. However, I encountered some problems when booking certain trains. Especially for a TGV between Munich HBF (Germany) and Paris Est (France) on Thursday 12 August. It leaves at 06:46 AM and arrives at 12:33 AM and it has as reference the TGV 9576. When I am on the interrail booking tool, I cannot book the train. So I tried directly on the oui.sncf site, but again it was impossible to reserve only the seats. How would you proceed in this situation? thanks in advance M.Bouchet

Brussels to Marseille/Nice via Germany

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm curious if this would be possible with 1 day of travel time. I'm just wondering if you can travel from the Brussels area to Marseille/Nice without the very expensive surcharge you have to pay when traveling with TGV Brussels-France? I am thinking here of DB BAHN, because they have no mandatory reservation costs on many trains.

Stockholm to Oslo - 13/10/21

Hi,I’ve seen topics explaining that there are no train connection from Stockholm to Oslo (due to the pandemic, maybe ?). However, when I go on the website sj.se, I can find some (see the pic attached).I don’t wanna have to pay for that, obvisously, since my Interrail Pass is supposed to be able to get me there. Did anyone find a solution ? I’m trying to find a way to call Interrail but can’t find onethanks, Olivier
