Train connections & reservations

Hi all, my boyfriend and I made a reservation for a nighttrain from Berlin to Budapest-Keleti. When I download the ticket it is one ticket which says '’02 seats'’ but only my name is on it. Is it correct that you get 1 ticket for 2 people? We never made a reservation before so I want to double check everything. Btw: we checked the invoice and we did pay for the both of us. Thanks in advance! 

I have reserved seats no tickets on trains in Germany on DBs platform. My global pass will work as the ticket correct? I'm specifically going Frankfurt to Munich, then onward Munich to Vienna. Normally I could just book the direct ice train. But due to striking tomorrow in Germany I need to do a more convoluted way, and I need confirm seats, because there is a risk I will not get on otherwise. The train tickets are currently around $400, so that's why I need to know if the pass is going to work as my ticket.

Hiya! so my partner and I are planning our travelling and were looking to get the 3 month global pass. however when I was looking at the train routes to see how long they would take a few trains were coming up as times unavailable. for example the Lisbon to Madrid service has no trains running at first I thought it was because of how in advance I was looking to book (between September 2022 - mid November 2022) but I checked other services that were available in the start of September to see if they could be booked in mid November and they could. I wasn’t sure why these trains weren't available and couldn’t find an answer anywhere online so hopefully someone can answer and help out! The trains and dates that came up as unavailable were:Lisbon to Madrid 11/09/22 Rome to Bari 12/10/22 Igoumenitsa  to Patras 30/10/22 Patras to Athens 03/11/22If someone knows the answer to this it would be greatly appreciated! :)

Hello everyone !I should start travelling with Interrail in February and I’m just starting booking my trips.I found the first trip I want to take in the reservation booking tool on the Interrail website and paid for the connections that require a reservation, but I can’t find this journey in the app. For now I have added all connections manually, but how can I link them with the reservations I made ? And for the ones that don’t need any reservation, will it be enough to just have added them manually in the app ?Thank you so much for your help !

I have a interrail global pass. I want to go Italy-Venezia. I have to do seat reservation for it. But I could not on app because my enterance adress is Turkey and I’m now in Germany. Ticket office also couldn’t. They said that you must do it on app. What should I do? This Emergency because I am waiting train station.

In the past I have had the pleasure of traveling with Interrail on a number of occasions.  Me and my fellow travelers love to look out the window.  That used to be obvious, but nowadays there are unfortunately a lot of seats without a view, between the windows, etc. These are window seats without a window.  That to me is not really “travel”, that is waiting for you to arrive.  Then I prefer to travel with my own car.  A few years ago you could e.g.  in Italy very handy in the app.  reserve a specific seat.  Not possible anymore. Also this is not possible at the vending machine in France.  My question to the community is: Is it possible to reserve a specific seat via italiarail.com and/interrail.eu?  The same question when booking TGVs in France via Belgian Railway/interrail.eu?

I don't really understand how it works when there is no need to reserve a seat on a train. Do I have to do anything before I get on the train? What ticket do I have to show on the train? What does optional reservation mean? Am I sure to have a seat on the train? Thank you in advance for your answer

Hi, on the map I see a connection between Venice and Marseille and when I google I see that is has to be possible in about 10 hours, but I can't find it in the app…..what is wrong? 

Hi @Sven you asked in the post “How to get Reservations” the price for a berth in a triple sleeper with a Railpass :)The price is 74€ with Interrail or Eurail and the sleeper is very popular and already sold out for some depatures :) That´s why you may get no results :)

Estoy preparando un viaje para este verano en el que quiero visitar Lituania, Letonia y Estonia (o algo así). Pero a la hora de preparar el recorrido y consultar los trenes, me dice que no hay horarios disponibles entre ninguna de las ciudades de estos paises y tampoco accediendo desde otro país (por ejemplo un tren de Varsovia a Vilnius). ¿Alguien sabe a que se debe? Gracias :)

Hey - very new to this pass and getting slightly frustrated.  I’m trying to book a train from Paris to Nice at the end of March.  I’m not able to book any of the trains listed (there’s seats available but not with the eurail pass).  Is there a workaround that may get me there that I’m not aware of?  Fully booked via eurail seems to be a common affliction with anything I try to book through France - is this normal?Cheers

I will be taking this bus that is covered by my Eurail pass next week. Since there are no reservations, can I just show my Pass and be allowed to board the bus? Will it fill up before I can board since I don’t have a reservation? thanks 

Hi, I have a question about the cancellation. My train from Zurich direct to Paris is cancelled by SNCF. I have global pass so I only booked the seat reservation originally.I tried to cancel the reservation and get the refund on Eurail website.However, it showed that I can only get 30 euros back. ( The reservation costed 35 euros)Is it possible that I get the full refund? If it is possible, how can I apply for it?

Hey!I want to cancel a train with a sera reservation that I have booked on interrail website. My ticket says that it is refundable but on the interrail website when I want to delete it it says “not refundable”Is it normal? “Not refundable” is just for the booking fee ? Thanks !

Hello!In May, we (2 persons) are going to travel from Stuttgart to Paris on ICE. Having bought two Interrail Global Passes for us on the same account, I also booked two reservations together (in one order!) on the Interrail website for this train. Unfortunately, by consulting a seat map of DB Fernverkehr, I found out that these two seats aren’t located side by side but one after another at the window, although I bought the passes together on the same account (and not seperately) only in order to get coherent reservations. How can I change this reservation to one with two seats side by side? Is this only possible by cancelling my reservation at interrail.com and by ordering again at a DB oder SNCF travel agency or is interrail.com able to change this, too?Thanks for your answerTraveltogether

Hi all -I know Freccialink buses in Italy are included in the pass coverage as I’ve seen it mentioned in a Product Information circulatory brochure, but does anyone have any idea what they cost to reserve?Are they included in the €10 reservations for the Frecce trains with which they connect, or do they cost an extra €10 on top of that (or some other amount)?Any help very gratefully received indeed, and and a happy new year to you :-)

Hello everyone, I'm planning to go on visit Europe by train, I'd like to go from Paris to Dublin taking a ferry. The ferry from Cherbourg (France) should dock in Rosslare's port (Irland), but then I can't find a train to Dublin from there in the rail planner app. I've never done this kind of trip and I'd really like to visit Ireland, but I can't figure out how to do it, pleasecan somebody be so kind to help?

Can a Eurail pass be used to book tickets to Monaco/Monte Carlo?  I see that a train travelling between Nice and Ventimiglia will stop in Monte Carlo, but if I do a search for a train specifically from Nice or Ventimiglia to Monte Carlo, Monaco doesn’t come up as an option. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello everyone,we are planning our trip through Europe. But somehow the high speed trains in Italy have disappeared! Same in France here are all the TGVs between Toulouse and Paris gone.Are these trains not longer useable with the global pass?Kind regards! 

this has probably been asked before, but i am not finding the answer.   i am planning my first trip to europe in the summer.  if i make reservations for a trip from rome to london,  how does it work if i get off at a stop in between?  Is the reservation still effective when i catch another train to continue after the stop?  or do i need to make several reservations? thanks

Hello!I am new here, and I want to plan a trip from Amsterdam to Athens. You can use a pass for a whole day of travel, but is this from point A to point B, or for 24 hours? And if it is only for 24 hours, and you want to travel 2 days in a row, may I assume that is possible?Thanks!

Are any ferries between Italy and Greece included (i.e. not just discounted) in the Eurail Global pass? If so, what are they and where can I find them? I’m a little confused because on the Eurail map it clearly shows ferry routes between the two countries, but when searching the Eurail site all I can find is ferry services that are discounted. Thanks!!

Hi everyone!I am planning my journey from Germany down to Grenoble, France, and realized the Browser & the App show different options for the journey. It is not alway the same connections.What is your experience - which one is the more reliable? How long in advance to you plan trips and what are your tips?My journey might be up to 12 hours, so I am hoping to plan in a way that I do not have to make last minute changes. 

I would like to book the Napoles - Catania (Italy) night train. If I am not logged in, the interrail page shows a reservation fee of 3€ for the normal seat, if I log in to make the reservation, the price change to 97 € per person, thats even more than the normal ticket price from TrenItalia (79 €). How can I book a normal 2nd class seat for € 3? Is it better to make a reservation in the office on site?ThanksEllen
