Night train reservations in Italy: only single occupancy?

Trenitalia only seems to sell single occupancy accomodation on their night trains in Italy (e.g. to Sicily) at this moment, still due to Covid-19: either a couchette or sleeping compartment. Options for Interrail reservations, however, are still “Bed in 6-berth sleeper - €41” and “Private single sleeper - €122”. Can I assume that the with the former reservation, I will receive a single occupancy couchette compartment?

seat reservation

We have global Eurail passes.  I’m trying to book from Edinburgh to London.  The Eurail site does not allow to make the seat reservations and give the other booking option of using acprail.  How do I book the seats and get tickets on acprail with my Eurail passes?   thanks

Printing train ticket

I am planning a trip from Zermatt to Milan which requires a transfer in Visp. As per the OBB website/app, the Visp to Milan train requires a printed ticket, however I will not have access to a printer. It states that i can print the ticket at an OBB self service machine or ticket office in Austria, however I will not be in Austria. Any advice on how to obtain this printed ticket?

Seat reservations Milano Centrale - Firenze S.M.N. How to book?

Hi!  I need to make a seat reservation for Milano Centrale - Firenze S.M.N on 21/04/22 for 2 adults. Is there a way to book just seats on TreinItalia? I can’t get the Interrail one to work. Also when I look the journey up on TI it only gives me the whole ticket price. I can’t see an option to choose Seat OnlyThe app says you only need a seat reservation for the first leg of the journey and then change at Pisa Centrale. are there any other companies for Italian trains to book seat only reservations? Any help would be great!

Pass cover number for mobile pass

Hello,I am looking for my pass cover number to make a seat reservation. I booked my interrail ticket yesterday and I found out that you need to make a seat reservation for the eurostar either on the interrail/eurorail website (apparently currently not working) or with b-europe. b-europe requires my pass cover number which I do not have (mobile pass). I wrote an email and initiated the chat support bot to get my pass cover number but to no avail so far (1 work day).Is there a telephone support? I need my pass cover number urgently to complete my booking, I am afraid seats will be taken if this takes much longer.

Porto to Vigo to Barcelona - reservations for July?

We are planning to travel Porto to Vigo to Barcelona in two days in mid-July. Previously both Renfe and Train Line showed two trains daily for our travel date Porto-Vigo, but now they show no trains, just bus, from 1 July onward.  Any ideas about why? Rail works?   Alsa bus is our backup, but the train would be nicer.Also, will we be able to get reservations less than 24 hours in advance for Vigo to Barcelona (Sunday night for Monday travel) in mid-July?  We plan to go via Madrid (and understand the station change), but could take the direct (slow) train.  Does anyone know if Vigo to Madrid or Madrid to Barcelona trains are likely be fully booked in advance for a Monday in July?

Seat reservation Wien HBF - Zürich HBF

HiI’m trying to book seat reservations for the route Wien HBF - Zürich HBF but without success(for the 18th July this year). sbb.ch only seem to want to sell me the full price ticket and oebb.at says “no ticket available”.I know I could probably just jump on this train without a reservation, but since I have a first class railpass I’d much rather ensure I get a first class seat. I’m specifically interested in the Railjet Express 162 train that leaves Wien HBF at 09:30. Any ideas on how to book this route?

Reservation

Hello, I have just reserved 2 spots on a train from Munich to Bratislava, Slovakia. For some reason in my email confirmation it only has 1 ticket and it has the secondary passengers name on it. But under the ticket it shows passenger list with both of our names. I am wondering if anyone knows if I am suppose to have a second ticket or is this fine?

How to make a seat reservation?

Hello,I recently bought my 2nd class Eurail pass and am planning a trip to Edinburgh from Cologne on the 18th of April.  I have a few connections and my train from Bruxelles Midi to London St Pancras requires a seat reservation, as well as my train from London St Pancras to Edinburgh.  However, I have been unable to make a reservation for either. For London to Edinburgh, it tells me that I must book at a major train station.  So does this mean I need no reservation ahead of time, and can make it in the station before I board my train? For Bruxelles to London, it says I can book at the station or through Deutsche Bahn or CD.  I have tried both websites and Deutsche Bahn says it is impossible to make a reservation, and CD won’t allow me either.  I even tried the Thalys website, and the train I would be taking was not present on their website.  I also tried on OBB and it said “a technical error occurred” in the space where it would show the fare.  I couldn’t even do it on the Eurail websi

Seat reservation unavailable

Hello guys,  I recently booked the Global Pass to travel from Berlin to Barcelona  but I have problems with reservations. On to the website it didn´t appear any train connection, which is not true because the Rail Planner shows many connections. After many attempts on the webseite it suddenly appears: SEAT RESERVATIONS UNAVAILABLE“You need to buy a seat reservation to board this train, but it seems this seat reservations isn't available on our website. Check 'More information' for other ways to book this seat reservation, or buy a separate ticket to board this train.PRICES TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE. There is no result from the bookingsystem. Check back in a few hours to see prices and book this seat reservation.” “More information” doesn´t help either. Does it mean that the train is overbooked? Can someone help me? Thanks in advance :)

Reservations Mainz Hbf to Wien Hbf

I am trying to make a reservation on the Mainz to Vienna 00:41 night train.  It says 1st Class N/A.  Does that mean they are all sold out?  If so, can I make a reservation on the 2nd Class seats?  If they both say N/A does that mean we can’t take the train?Thanks in advance.

Kkrakow to Berlin

Hey everyone, I am trying to book a train reservation for Krakow to Berlin and it is saying it needs to be reserved but it shows the price of 0 eur and will not allow me to reserve anything. I am wondering the same if anyone has ever gone from Bratislava to Krakow as I am having a hard time finding a train for this. It says I need to transfer in Breclav, CZE but it wants to send me the pass via post but the delivery date is 2 weeks after I leave for my trip.  TIA, Alex

Spanish trains

Hiya - a friend and I wanted to book a train from Seville to Barcelona in July but it seems that it’s only possible to book spanish trains in Spain itself? Is there a way around this? If we are travelling in July it is very unlikely that reservations will still be available for that train once we’re there and i’m anxious we won’t actually get a way out of Spain to continue our journey! Any help would be amazing :)

Mobile Pass seat reservations on Eurostar

Everything about the Interail pass has been smooth except my ability to book a Eurostar seat from London to Brussels when having selected a mobile pass.The only way I could possibly see to book a seat was to say I had a paper ticket and as a result I have made a booking BUT the money has not been taken from my account although I do have access to two PDFS showing the “booking” although I have NOT had confirmation by e mail of my reservations ?The ability to contact anyone to ask appears impossible so at the moment I am due to travel on the 19th April and I have no idea if i have a booking or not ?Do I need to change my mobile pass for a paper pass in order to board the train ?? Again no help anywhere?When does my money go through and I have a confirmation?Would I be refused at the gate with a seat reservation and only a mobile pass?Hope someone can help me as its extremely frustrating.

Reservation not showing up in app

Hi there,I’m making my outbound journey on Eurostar (London Kings Cross to Bruxelles Midi). I’ve got the journey in my pass on the app and I’ve made the reservation and have the pdf for my eurostar reservation.However, the ‘ticket’ for the journey in the app is still showing as ‘seat reservations required’. I made the reservations over 12 hours ago so I was expecting to see in it the app by now. Is something missing? Or am I alright as long as I have the reservation pdf?Thanks,Caroline
