Eurail pass and seat selection on Trenitalia

I’m wondering if there is any way to select specific seats using a Eurail pass on Trenitalia. From everything I read online here, it’s not possible on Trenitalia’s website, Trenitalia Kiosks, Eurail, or even OBB. My travel companion for an upcoming trip has never been to Europe before and I was really hoping I could select seats, rather than have them preassigned. I’m wondering if we go to a Trenitalia agent at a station if they have flexibility of accommodating requests. I’d prefer the one seat arrangements facing each other, but as long as we’re sitting together, that would be fine. What I’m really hoping to prevent is being assigned in different cars or even in the same car not together. Is there a way to see the assigned seats before finalizing a booking? I’m fine with us sitting side-by-side, across from each other, window or aisle, etc. Just don’t want us separated. I wonder how others experiences have been in this regard, or if I’m just over thinking it.

Booking train for Germany

Hey, I have a question, I want to book a train from Berlin to Dresden but this message appears : “Rates not availableOur search for fares produced no results. Places reserved for Pass holders are probably sold out. You will find other options at the bottom of our schedule.”I would like to know if it’s possible to get on this train with my interail pass and no reservation, or will I be turned away if I get on this train knowing it may be full? Thank you for your help !

Seat Reservations and choosing seats

I’ve read through a lot of the seat reservation posts and can’t find an answer, so here goesIs there a facility within the seat booking process to be able to specify a choice of seats during the booking process? Window seat, forward facing - those sort of optionsIt would be great if actual seats could be booked, but I expect that is a step too far I’ve just received my pass and tried booking seats on Eurostar and TGV Lyria. The seats are available as it takes me right through to payment. But there is no screen to provide an option to choose a type of seat

Why full ticket is cheaper than seat reservation

Hi,Booking regular ticket on sncf costs: 19€Booking a seat reservation on interrail costs: 22€ I feel this situation unfair and that SNCF is overcharging seat reservations and removed online booking to prevent people from using interrail in their country. Maybe someone can explain this situation please ? Thanks in advance,Nicolas.

Mulhouse across Switzerland to Milan

Hi EveryoneTwo of us are looking to leave Mulhouse on the morning of 14 September to go down to Pescara in Italy - allowing for an overnight stop on the way.I had originally planned to work out a route across Switzerland closer to the time but with the various delays being mentioned in Switzerland, I’m wondering if it would be a good idea to make some seat reservations now.OBB isn’t currently letting me book reservations on the 11:03dep from Basel SBB on the Eurocity 151 to Milano.Any thoughts on why this might be?I did think about going via the Bernina Express route and staying in Tirano before continuing to Pescara but thought I’d take a quicker route this time. Happy to revert to this route though if need be. Any thoughts gratefully received!

Salzburg to Hallstatt on Eurail Pass

Hi we will be on a day trip from Salzburg to Hallstatt, but if using Eurail, the journey takes about 4.5 hours one way, it take 1 hour 20 mins transfer. I know that the most convenient way to travel to Hallstatt is by bus but since we bought the Eurail we plan to use it. May I ask is there any other way / train station which we can travel to with shorter travel time ? Thanks

London to Lille

Hi there, I’m looking at the Eurostar for London to Lille on 25th May 2024. However there are only 4 trains listed for this day. Will they be adding more or is this likely to be the full timetable? (7.04, 9.01, 13.01 and 19.34). Thanks.

We have a small overtake of 9min. So that makes me nervous. Is there any way i can see where the train enters and leaves the station in munich so we can prepare where to go to? Thank in advance.

No direct trains on 9/28 Prague to Munich?

Can someone please double check my work? I’m not seeing any direct trains on 9/28 from Prague to Munich? Is it possible they are all sold out? Just seems odd to me. I know I can’t make reservations until 30 days out but it’s weird that they aren’t even showing to purchase a regular ticket.

Can’t book night train budapest-berlin October 2023

Hi, I’d like to travel from Budapest to Berlin on the night train on 17 October 2023 but on the Hungarian website the night trains from 1 October onwards say they are ‘full’. On other countries’ websites it just says ‘not available’ It seems unlikely that they’re full. I’m worried it’s because of engineering works but can’t find any information. Does anyone know what’s going on?Many thanks,Meri
