Reservation needed or not on German trip (Nightjet or IC)

Hello Interrail community,I am a bit confused on how to manage reservations for a Nantes-Copenhagen trip on the 08-09 July.The trip relies on a Offenburg (00:41) - Duisburg (06:40) section that is referenced as both a nightjet (NJ) or intercity train (IC).From https://tickets.oebb.at/, it seems the NJ is not available for 4 persons anymore : If I search for the whole trip on the planner (Nantes>Copenhagen), it indicates the Offenburg-Duisburg section requires reservation. (I think it considers the NJ reference, that is considered a night train that requires reservation)If I only search for the Offenburg-Duisburg section, the planner indicates no reservation is needed (it seem it considers the IC reference, that does not require a reservation) My question is then rather simple : is a reservation needed on the Offenburg-Duisburg night IC train ?If I choose not to book a reservation, do I have to enter manually the Offenburg-Duisburg section on my mobile Pass ? (as for now it only show

Cant book seat reservation in Italy

Hi everyone So I’ve paid for my eurail pass (global pass, mobile) created a trip and assigned travel day and tickets from city to city in Italy. Now it’s time to do the seat reservation and I’m having issues.It won’t let me reserve a seat, all I get is this screen: I don’t know if that means there are no seats left, it’s too early to reserve etc. I have tried all my different journeys (Venice- Rome etc etc) and all the times and I get the same response.if anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated!thank you

Lyon-Girona - no time left to receive paper reservations. Suggestions

Hi everyone, I want to travel from Lyon to Girona on June the 6th. I already read throught the FAQ and see I’m not the only one having trouble making a reservation for a train that crosses the border. I tried to make a reservation with the interrail-planner. It seemed possible at first, but at the checkout it said there was not enough time left to sent the paper tickets, although it is still 9 days in advance. I already booked my first train from Ostend (Belgium) to Lyon that day so it would be nice to be able to travel on. At an nmbs station I cannot make the reservation because apparently it’s not possible for them anymore to sell tickets that are crossing the Spanish border.I can try to purchase the tickets on the day itself, but that seems a bit tricky and exhausting to me as I only have half an hour to transbord…I saw some things about the DB and making reservations on the phone, but I don’t have a credit card. Does anyone have suggestions what to do next?I did look up the region

Reservations or not - conflicting information

I purchased the Mobile Eurail Global Pass. I will travel from Hallstatt to Varenna departure at 8:20 arrive 20:24 on June 14. according to Eurail planner i need a seat reservation for the Innsbruck and the Verona departures of the trip. according to DB and the Thomas Cook rail schedule - no reservations are needed. i have traveled Eurail for over 25 years it seems more and more trains require reservations. I have always purchased the paper Eurail pass and relied on the Thomas Cook rail book and the DB site. Can anyone answer this reservation question which site is correct? thanks David

Seat reservations only appear in my friends reservation overview, not in mine. Is that normal?

Hello!I’ll be interrailing with a friend this summer and she bought our interrail passes together through her account. Today we did our first seat reservation through her account too. It is normal for seat reservations not to appear in my interrail account, in reservations overview, even though they appear on hers? And since we've done everything through my friend's account, will I be able to activate the pass on my phone and have access to all the reservations?Thank you

What all does Eurail cover?

I am so confused on how to use the trains in Europe. We are going to small towns across Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. Someone said to get a Eurail pass, but on their website it doesn’t show most of the towns I want to go to on the drop-down menu. Do I skip the Eurail pass and book each train ride individually before I leave the US (like from the DB website, etc.), or do I blindly purchase a Eurail pass and just hop on the trains over there without reserving? Totally lost right now 😦

Booking Paris to Barcelona for a Monday (May 16)

Hello everyone! It is my first time using the Eurail Global Pass, and I thought that I could book a train from Paris to Barcelona online as I saw it was available. It wasn’t until I activated my pass and tried to book to discover that it is paper pass only, which was not indicated anywhere on the Booking Reservations part of the site. I have read from some other topics that it is basically impossible to get a ticket from Barcelona to Paris the day before for pass holders (I am flying in to Paris on Sunday, May 15), and I am incredibly worried that I will not be able to get there by train. Would anyone be able to provide some advice on the best alternatives to get to Barcelona from Paris in what seems to be an extremely likely event that I will not be able to secure a seat on the high speed train? Thank you very much for your help!

Hi, i’ve never travelled in train before but i won an interrail pass.I wanted to book a ticket for the night train between Prague Hlvani and Krakow Glowny on wednesday 20th of July at 22:05 but it says “prices are temporarily unavailable”. And when i look at ÖBB website, it also says “ticket not available”. Finaly i looked on DB website and it told me “We are sorry, but we cannot sell your requested journey online”. Maybe the train is full, i just have no idea how this works.Thank you for your answers.

Limited seats for passholders

My kids have the 2nd class flex pass and need to travel to Amsterdam from Mainz on May 26. The Eurorail website says reservations are avaialble but not required on the 11:42 train tomorrow from Frankfurt to Amsterdamn. They tried to get a reserved seat using the app but it said none are available. Does this mean passholders can no longer get on this train without reservations. Or would they have to take a chance to find seats and if so, how likely is this to work.

Problem with seat reservation; Warszawa Centralna - Wien hbf and Berlin hbf - Warszawa Centralna ''prices unavailable''

Hi, I have problem to book seat reservaton in 2 trains. One of them is train going from Warszawa Centralna to Wien Hbf on july 4th and second one is going from Berlin Hbf to Warszawa Centralna on july 15th. In both of the them the reservation is required but inactive. The notification says:‘’Prices unavailableNo price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board.’’This notification shows on every available train these days. Is there any solution to this problem or I have to buy full fare ticket?

Managing Passes and reservations for 2 travelers

Hi There,Hi have a couple of questions related to adding passes to a trip and make reservation for 2 people:Can I add two passes on my phone for reservation purposes? Can the second traveler add it to his phone in order to “activate” it at a later stage? Can I make reservation for 2 travelers with my phone indicating second traveler informations and if needed pass number? Will this be reflected on his phone when he connect his pass to our trip? Is it mandatory for the second traveler to make his own account to use the pass?For the time being this is all and I thank in advance people available to answer the above.Kind regards,GigiP.S. As I will have additional questions moving forward should I use the conversation option rather than the question one?

Unable to make reservation Rotterdam-London

I am trying to make a train reservation with my interrail pass from Rotterdam to London. First you have to log in. I did that so you can see the what reservations are availlable from ticket holders. The only day (3 june) we need to make a reservation, says they are all €0 and " prices unavaillable". I know there's a max. Ammount of interrail holders that can make reservations in an Eurostar train. But ALL other days seem to be just fine. Does this mean theres just a bug or something? Or are we not able anymore to make reservations for that day?. If so, this means we have to buy +€400 worth on Eurostar ticket for 1 train... That's is more then the Interrail ticket itself we bought. Does anyone know, if this is the case, if we need to buy those tickets, or is it possible to go without reservations & tickets....? Thanks
