Seat reservation less than 3 hours in advance

Do you know if it is possible to get a seat reservation for a train less than 3 hours away from departure? In this case I’m refering to italian trains. Maybe it is possible to do it physically at the train station?

Reservation Copenhagen-Stockholm

Hello! So I have a problem trying to book a train. On the Rail Planner app, it's saying that a reservation is required for the train from Copenhagen to Stockholm, but when I go to book it with the Rail Planner app,it doesn't show the reservation option as it used to do before when I needed to book trains... So maybe I don't have to make a reservation? figure widget

I can't find a train in the timetable, so I can't reserve the seat

I need to reserve the seat for an high speed train in Italy, that I found on the official schedule of Trenitalia. However, this train doesn’t exist on the Eurail schedule, so it’s impossibile for me to reserve the seat (I could do it probably in a train station in italy, but I’m not in Italy at the moment). What should I do?The train is a Frecciabianca, from Milano Centrale to Ventimiglia, leaving at 15.10 on the 13/12

From Goteborg to Oslo. Reservation required or not?

 According to Rail planner reservation for this train is required. According to DB it isn't. According to what I know reservations are not mandatory for any regional trains. So what is true and what is false?

Reservations with Eurail pass - how far in advance?

Hello,I’m going to taking 3 rail trips in Italy (Fiumicino-Naples, Naples-Florence, Florence-Fiumicino) between Dec. 9th and 19th and am trying to figure out if the rail pass makes sense. Since it’s already just a few days in advance the individual tickets are getting expensive (I need some flexibility for two of them) and I’m tempted to get the pass, but I don’t understand how the timing on reservations works. I read in one place that you’re required to reserve at least 3 hours in advance, another place 24h in advance, and another that you can just reserve right before you board. The timing of one of the trips I won’t be sure of till the last minute (arriving flight) so it would need to be right before boarding. (Seems like advance reservations start to defeat the purpose of having the pass, in terms of flexibility.) Can anyone please help to clear this up? I’m probably missing something obvious….Thanks!Darren

Reservations costs Brussels- Croatia

How much would the reservations cost if I went from brussels to Croatia, which is I think a sleeping train from München to Zagreb.

How can I book a reservation for Paris to Strasbourg?

Hi! We had to make some changes to travel plans due to COVID and I’m trying to reserve the TGV from Paris to Strasbourg in December 21st but it is not allowing me to do so, it seems that they are all booked all the way to February. I have a reservation on the return trip Strasbourg to Paris a few days later. Does that make sense, or is it an error? Thanks, Raaj

Seat Reservation at SNCF - need a pass cover number?

Hello, I am trying to book seat reservations for TGV for a group of people, some on Interrail and some on Eurail passes.  The Eurail/Interrail website will not let me book reservations for my entire group.  There appears to be reservations available when I look on the b-Europe site.  What is the best way to book seat reservations for my group?  Do I need a pass cover number?  Thank you.

Seville to Lisbon (Spain to Portugal)

Hi everyone, I'm heading to Lisbon from Seville on the 10th December and I've noticed that all direct trains have been suspended.  The rail planner app does show several options with two or three changes (I presume these are local trains). Can the rail planner be trusted or are all rail services to portugal suspended? Also, I have an EU Digital covid vaccination certificate - I presume that should be enough (as with my travels in the rest of Europe) or does portugal have stricter requirements? I know that a covid test is required if you travel by air. Not sure if the same is required for train travel.   Thanks so much in advance for your advice... travel during the covid world is doable but things change every day!

Seat reservations in France, not through the interrail system

Hello everyone!I’m a bit stuck with the reservations. I have my global mobile pass, and I’m supposed to get back to Hungary from Besancon, France on the 5th of December, but it seems that Interrail is out of seats for the trains that I’m trying to book. Are there any other ways that I could book reservations for my trains? I’m having a hard time reaching the English speaking operators of SNCF, and I’m afraid I’m running out of time. Can you help me please?

Reservation Spain and France

Hello everyone, everything good?I'm having trouble reserving my seats.I will arrive in Barcelona on December 21st of this year, I need to take a train to Madrid on the same day and back to Barcelona on the 24th of the same month. I cannot make reservations over the internet.The same is happening for my journey from Barcelona to Paris on December 30th. From what I understand, trains departing from Spain need to be booked at the station, my fear is to arrive there on December 21st and not have any more seats for the trip, I already have a hotel and Eurail Global Pass reserved.Can you help me? How should I proceed? Do you believe I will get seats for the trips I mentioned? Thank You!

Seat Reservation with TGV with SNCF

Hello, I’m trying to reserve seats on the Barcelona-Sants to Paris leg of my Madrid-Paris trip (I know for the first leg I have to reserve seats in person at a Spanish station). On the Eurail website I try to use the reservation service, but it says the departure date is too close for the paper reservation tickets to be delivered to me at my home. It also says it’s too close to departure for the tickets to be delivered to my hotel in Madrid.  Unfortunately, I am not yet in Madrid to reserve the tickets in person, nor will I arrive until the night before departure. What options are available other than testing my luck at 5pm at the Madrid train station before a 10am departure the next day? It makes me nervous since the website says TGV limits eurail pass holders per train. I want to make sure we’re able to get to our destination. Any advice?

The app says I used all my journeys. I did but this is my inbound trip?

Hi!I just reserved (80€ altogether) some seat from Stuttgart back to Paris (via Brussels) and Paris to Nantes (where I live) for tomorrow, now that I am trying to add the trips on the app it says you have used all your journeys. I have used all my journeys but this is my inbound trip. I thought any trip that involves a city from the country of residence would make that trip eligible for inbound journey.  I very much appreciate your help. The trip is tomorrow and I just paid a hefty amount and I’m in a state of panic

However, in the app on eurrail It counts tonight pass as a day-travel and I suppose that tomorrow as Another. Does somebody know how to do It to only count as one day? Thanks a million!

Problem with booking Barcelona-Paris

good afternoon!  We are having trouble reserving our seats on the 31/12/2021 09:10 barcelona sants - 15:46 Paris gare dy lyon train (tgv train 9708).  The eurail page system gives me an error and restarts the operation.  Is it possible to make reservations for our seats with you?  We live in Argentina and for this reason it is impossible for us to go through the station at the moment.

Benefits in Germany

Hello all, On this page, it is said that the pass holders can travel by bus to Prague from Munich or Nuremberg (see the screenshot) : https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/trains-europe/trains-country/trains-germany But I can't find more information, it doesn't appear on the page "benefits". And when I plan a "Munich-Prague" trip with the timetable, there is no bus. How can I have more information and book a seat ?And is it only for the Germany pass holders, or also for the global pass holders ? Thank you !
