How to buy a Eurail seat reservation directly from a national rail line's own web-site?

I need a how-to.If I want to buy a mandatory seat reservation to use with my already purchased Eurail pass on a train that can be booked at https://www.oebb.at/en/ is there any way that I can buy just a Eurail seat reservation instead of a full price ticket?More generally, is there any way to purchase mandatory seat reservations to use with a Eurail pass from a national rail line’s own web site?

Travel from Lausanne, Switzerland to Venice, Italy - no reservations available

Hello everyone!We need to travel from Lausanne to Venice in one day, preferably arriving in Venice  mid afternoon latest. When I try to book reservations on trains on the Eurail website, it keeps saying there is nothing available for this journey! It brings up the same message for every route into anywhere in Italy on that day! Help! It seems we are stuck in Lausanne! Can we board trains from Lausanne to Milan and on to Venice without making a reservation? I need to be sure we can do this so that I can book accommodation in Venice. We are travelling in June.Thank you in advance

Bookings and reservations and journey planning with a group

Hi, I am a first time eurail user from Australia! Just bought a eurail pass for myself and 3 others. Having a bit of trouble figuring out the best way to make train reservations and link the pass to a journey. I have a few questions I would love answered. Once I link the pass to a trip created on the app, am I then able to edit or unlink the pass?  How can I make reservations for train seats and sleepers for overnight trains without getting charged more than necessary, on an external website? Ie. is there something I can use to put in a code for my pass or something? I have a 7 day in a month pass, how does the eurail pass know the maximum journey cap and calculate it? Is it possible to then for example overbook an extra train/day and then get charged extra (want to avoid this)? I bought tickets for all 4 of us, but we will be on the same journey. What is the best way to go about booking for all of us and using the passes, should we all just input the same trip onto seperate phones and

Hello.My name is Jorge from Portugal, planning my first Global pass Interrail, mainly in Swiss, Austria and Germany.My planned trip is almost entirely made of “no mandatory reservations” journeys. Some of them are crucial, like if I don’t board that train I will miss the plane to Portugal.Is there anything I can do so I can be sure I will board those specific trains? Thanks

Paper pass - question about MyTrip and train transfer

Hello community, I had some questions about the Paper Pass and the MyTrip section.First of all: is it correct that the paper pass, attached to the plastic cover of the pass, is the one that needs to be stamped on a railway station? Meaning that i do not need to fill this one in myself? Secondly: i understand that i need to fill in the dates and the inbound and outbound station of my travel. Is this also necessary for when i change trains? My example:I'm traveling from Amsterdam to Prague, with a transfer in Frankfurt and then a transfer in Regensburg. Do i need to fill in Amsterdam-Prague on MyTrip, or do i need to fill in Amsterdam-Frankfurt, Frankfurt-Regensburg, et cetera? Thank you in advance for your response!

Eligible Stations. The map only shows a select amount of stations

On the interrail planner, there are only a select amount of grey dots (stations) on the map. Are these the only ones you can travel to with the Continuous Month Pass? Or can you go anywhere in the country? Thanks.

Booking reservation at the website

It is almost impossible to make reservations through the website for the last 4 days.  Every time I get the message “ A problem repeatedly occurred on …… “.    I tried everything from clearing the cache, rebooted my device and using different browsers.   It was working before and I was able to book some trains.I have a pass and trying to book seat reservation any help is very much appropriated.   There is no customer support link in Eurail website.  This is very frustrating

Some trains can't be added.

Is it mandatory to plan our trip before? For example, I want to visit England but I don’t want to do a “road trip”, but to be based in London and have some day-trips in other cities. But the problem is that some of the cities are not addable (I can’t add them) to the trip (eg: Bath, Bournemouth) so does it mean that I can’t travel there with the pass?

Eurostar reservations valid with exchanged pass?

Hi. I am considering getting a refund on my already-purchased interrail pass, and buying a replacement pass in this nifty sale on at the moment.However I have already made reservations and want to check if those reservations (especially the Eurostar reservation) are valid with a new pass. All other details -- name, passport number etc -- will remain the same, only the pass number will change.
