Train connections & reservations

Hi! I want to travel to Barcelona from the Netherlands in a few weeks, and for the last train I need a paper ticket. I can buy it through the interrail website, but I wonder how much time it will take to arrive? Does anyone have experience with ordering paper tickets through interrail?

I can make a reservation for only myself (In the interrail reservation system) , but as soon as more than one person is part of the trip it shows “NOT AVAILABLE” for every single connection (even though before it said that there are still many seats available). This goes for any train in Europe as far as we've seen. It says by the grey I (for information) that you can only reserve seats for people who are known in your acount, yet i can't seem to figure out how to add someone with a mobile pass to my account. We'd like to be seated togheter for our trips, is there any way this is possible if we all have mobile passes.I'm really hoping someone can help me I've been researching and trying things for two weeks now.Kind regards

Hi there. As of today it looks like it’s no longer possible to make seat reservations via Italiarail. Am I missing something?

Hello, I have a little doubt concerning trains without reservation.we just have to go in the train, and show our interrail pass to the controller ? Or we have to call the train before take it to make sure there are seat for us in the train ? And if there are no more seat in the train, what we do?  

I’m trying to make seat reservations with both me (Interrail pass holder) and my parents (Eurail pass holders). I've duplicated my trip and added them both as travellers, but when I proceed to make seat reservations with all 3 of us, I am unable. An exclamation mark appears in the area under “price.” Is there any way to circumvent this issue, and make reservations for us 3 together online?Thanks for any insights!

Hello, I leave for an interrail trip the 12th July, but I would like to reserve my train now. It’s that possible, or I have to wait to reserve it until the departure day ? thanks for answering me as soon as possible ! 

ENGL - FRHi guys, My friends and I bought a global pass and I have 2 different questionsFirst, I see that for some trains in Germany reservations are OPTIONAL but not COMPULSORY. What do we risk by not buying reservations ?  Second, for some trains in Italia we need to take reservations (ex : train Venizia - Verona). However the reservation via interrail cost 12€/person while buying a normal ticket without interrail on trenitalia.com costs 9€/ person. How is it possible that a standard ticket is cheaper than a reservation ? Can we buy a reservation cheaper ?Thank you for helping me ! Salut tout le monde, Avec des amis on a acheté un pass global et j’ai quelques questions. Tout d’abord, j’ai vu que pour certains trains en Allemagne les réservations ne sont pas obligatoires mais optionnelles. Que risque-t-on en ne prenant pas de réservations ?  Ensuite, pour certains trains en Italie (ex : Venise

Hello, I’m considering to buy Greek islands pass for do some island hopping this summer. But as I saw there is no online platform to book reservations for ferries and it’s necessary to call or send an email to book. I’m a bit sceptic how it works and if I send an email will I get my confirmation of reservation soon to be sure I can take certain ferry. Does any of you have experience with those bookings?

In the Eurail train times, I see NT3731 for Paris to Portbou, but I can’t find NT3730 for Portbou, Spain to Paris.  Does NT3730 exists and if so how do I find the schedule and reserve a seat?

Since 1-2 years it’s no longer possible to make online seat reservations for the Eurocity train connecting Milano Centrale (Italy) and Basel SBB (Switzerland).I called both the Italian and Swiss operator to ask if it is possible to make a reservation on the phone. This was not possible. They also told me that it is not possible to make a seat reservation at the station.Based on what they told me, the Global Pass turns out to be useless for the EC trains. Only option is taking multiple (often delayed) regional trains.Does anyone have the same experience?

Hi, I am planning to go to Camaret-sur-mer in France, however the only way to get there is by taking bus from Brest, which is the last train stop on my way. The bus (no 34) is operated by SNCF. Do you think it would be covered by railpass or not?Thanks in advance… Petr

Hello everybody, I am facing some kind of issue. I am looking for a train that link two cities from two different countries and the website show me that this is possible by train but this train doesn’t appear on the application. I don’t know which one I have to trust lol. I tried to get the train company name but it doesn’t appear on the website, just a reference is written or something like “international” or “regional” Did you face that kind of problem ? How to be sure that such train exists (without taking the risk of going directly in the trainstation without being sure of the existence of such train) Thank you very muchAll the best, Freyazz

Hi,I want to make some reservations for the TGV from Luxembourg to Paris and the Intercité de Nuit from Paris to Nice, but it seems they've removed the Interrail feature from their website.Is there any other way (besides the expensive Interrail service) to make reservations for these trains?

What do I click on? 

Hello Interrail community,I am about to purchase my pass. As my phone currently has a broken screen and I don’t know for certain by when I can have it fixed, I’d like to go ahead and book a paper pass for my interrail travels in mid-July. I want to go ahead and book my reservations immediately, but my paper pass would not arrive by registered mail until 4 July. Could anyone tell me whether I will be able to start booking reservations before it arrives or if I must wait for its arrival?Thanks!

Hi! I've been looking at the Interrail Greek Islands Pass but have a few questions:Are ferry routes from Heraklion to any island travelling with Anek Lines operated by Aigaion Pelagos included in the pass?  If I travel from Chania to Piraeus at 22:00 on July 12th and then from Piraeus to Paros at 09:30 on July 13th, does that count as 1 travel day or 2? Also, is the high-speed ferry from Piraeus to Paros at 09:30 on July 13th included in the pass or not?
