Seat reservation : cancel one ticket out of two, instead of both

Hi all, I bought two tickets as seats reservation for my friend and I, at once. But my friend will finally not take the same train than me, so I wish to cancel one ticket but not both. Is it possible to do so, and if so, how ? Or do I have to cancel reservation of both tickets and book again a single one for me only ?Thanks a lot!RegardsArnaud

Is it possible to upgrade a 2nd class OBB reservation to business clas?

Looking at buying an interrail pass for a long journey. The eurostar 1st class is all sold out and the rest of the journey will be sleeper, so there’s only part of the journey (Zurich to Wörgl) that I would to take business class.Can I purchase 2nd clas reservations and then buy an upgrade? From 2nd to 1st, then pay the 15 euro supplement for business.The difference in interrail pass classes (£180) is cheaper than buying this ticket separately (£310) so cheaper for me to get the 1st class pass than buying it separately, but if I could have 2nd class and an upgrade, that would be better.

Travel days : midnight to midnight

Hello everybody! It’s the first time I am doing Interrail and I am kind of confused about travel day. I want to take a train from Frankfurt to Ljubljana that last 12 hours : it starts at 7:30pm on the 16th and arrives at 8:30am on the 17th with a change at 10:30 on the 16th. Does it count as one travel day or two ? Thank you very much for your answer!

unable to add reservation to cart

We are trying to book reservations upcoming in 5 days from Amsterdam to Cologne. When I follow the step of the eurail site and try to add two reservations to my cart, the page bounces the request out of my cart and restarts to zero in cart. Anybody have experience on how to proceed and buy reservations? Does this mean the train is full and all reservations are gone? I am not seeing any alert that they are gone, and no other info on why the reservations aren’t able to be bought.thank you!

Reservation Problem

I want to go Frankfurt to Luxembourg but I have to make transfer in Koblenz Hbf. I can do reservation in Frankurt to Koblenz Hbf. But I can't do Koblenz Hbf to Luxembourg. Will it be a problem? Can I travel anyway? Where will we be sitting on the train if we don't have reservation? I'm confused because I have to go there that day so I wanted to ask? And also I wanted to ask I did some of my reservations online.I have my QR codes in my mail. When we go to the station is it okay to show only Interrail Pass and Qr code?

Seat Reservations

Hello,I bought a 1-month Pass and I will book seat reservations. I want to ask 2 questions because I am confused.1. I will use a lot of trains, so I don't want to deal with different railway companies' websites. So if I make the reservations through the Interrail website, will I have any problems? After making a reservation, will I have a problem such as not having a train at the reservation time or having an invalid ticket?. Because I saw that it is recommended to buy from railway companies in many articles.2. I will activate the Interrail Pass on my phone. As far as I understand, there is no connection between the phone and the account I opened on the computer. So do I have to make reservations from my phone?Thank you :)

Problem with connection in Hamburg

Hello there!First time using interrail… I plan to go from Paris to Lund in Sweden on August 17th. When I try to pay for my seat reservations it says that the connection cannot be booked right now. So I tried yesterday and now today again. It seems like there is a problem of connection around Hamburg.I checked DB website and there it says that the Manheim Hbf - Hamburg Hbf trip is cancelled. However there is an arrow and then it says Hamburg-Altona. Does anybody know if that means that the train will still go to Hamburg but stop at Altona station instead of Hbf?In this case I would be up for any tip regarding the quickest way to go from Altona to Hbf ^^Thank’s a lot in advance!Madou

Munich to Venice ECB85 (or ECB81) - 1st Class Seat Reservations Not an Option?

My wife and I have 3-month Global Pass 1st Class. So far, so good, but after patiently waiting for prices for seat reservations to appear for late October 2023, it looks like the only option for a seat reservation on the ECB85 Direct from Munich to Venice is 2nd Class. This could mean one of two or three things: 1. 1st Class pass holders don’t need a seat reservation and “you are ready to board” really applies. 2. 1st Class pass holders cannot reserve a 1st class seat and may or may not get a 1st class seat depending on availability. Or maybe 3. There are no 1st class seats on the ECB85? I think #3 doesn’t apply because I checked Seat 61 and there are photos. I’m wondering if I want comfort and piece-of-mind:, A. Do I have to reserve 2nd Class? Or, B. I should stop worrying and just show up for my ECB85 train without a seat reservation because there should be two first class seats available on the ECB85 from Munich to Venice in late October? Appreciate your thoughts on this an

Unable to book First Class seat reservation on EC 130

Hi, I’m trying to book a First Class seat reservation on the above train - between Budapest and Rybnik, if that matters - but I can’t seem to do so online. cd.cz only seems to offer second class reservations which is odd. The train does contain a single first class carriage - see the Vagonweb composition here: https://www.vagonweb.cz/razeni/vlak.php?zeme=START&kategorie=EC&cislo=130&nazev=B%C3%A1thory&rok=2023 - and Mav also offers First Class tickets for sale, but no reservations. I’m aware the Interrail website does offer First Class reservations, but I’m assuming the service only offers printed versions, at which point it is almost cheaper to just purchase an advance ticket in second class and save a pass day after factoring in the postage charge to the UK. Alternatively, is it possible to book First Class seat reservations for this train over the counter in Germany / Austria / Romania beforehand? I’m assuming it should be possible to do it in Budapest too, but I’m o

do we always have to book our train?

Hi, when it says "You are ready for boarding ,You can reserve your seat, but it is not obligatory" do I need to pay the non obligatory 8€ later or not? If I don't pay the 8€, will I have to pay it once I arrive at the station to board the train to my destination with a ticket inspector or not?

Interrail not valid on ICE NL->DE 17 June - 18 August 6:00-16:00

According to NS International Interrail is not valid anymore (even with seat reservation) on the ICE from the Netherlands towards Germany between 6:00 and 16:00, during the summer months (17 June - 18 August). 🤐 During the period from 17 June to 18 August 2023, Eurail and Interrail travellers cannot use the ICE International trains towards Germany with departure times between 6am - 4pm from a station in the Netherlands. Even with a separate seat reservation, travel on these trains is not allowed for Eurail and Interrail travellers during the specified period.

International AVE reservations

Renfe has just opened regular ticket sales for the reintroduced AVE services between Barcelona and Lyon and Madrid and Marseille. I have called their customer service and I've been told interrail is valid on those for €10 in Elige (standard class) and €13 in Comfort (1st class), and that I could book these reservations online. The latter I've not been able to find out how, but hopefully the first statement is correct.I suspect these reservations can be made through Renfe's ticket office. Possibly later also through DB (and other channels with access to Renfe's system).Currently tickets on the sections Valence-Nimes-Barcelona-Madrid are on regular sale for just €19, and from Lyon/Avignon/Marseille for €29, so it's probably not really worth to use a travel day for that (unless you have a continuous pass or more travel plans in the same day).

Reservations for Intercity Notte Bologna – Lecce

Hello!I am planning a trip that involved the Italian night train from Bologna Centrale to Lecce and since I’d like to just use the travel day that I’ve already started that day, I’d prefer taking the night train before midnight, ICN 765, instead of the faster ICN 755 that leaves after midnight. However, when I am trying to find it on the Railplanner search engine it only ever shows up until Bari where I’m supposed to change to a Regionale that would be faster than staying onboard the ICN765 – but would mean a new travel day or an extra ticket even though the night train actually continues to Lecce.There seems to be no way of getting Railplanner to show me the whole trajectory to Lecce even though it definitely exists – Railplanner itself shows Lecce as the final destination.Does anyone know how to fix this or has experience with the route? I’m wondering if it would be acceptable to just stay on the couchette for the last three hours since nobody would be taking it anway? (But it wouldn

Is it possible to obtain an e-ticket for a seat reservation instead of a paper ticket?

I want to book a seat reservation for a train for next week, but it offers me paper ticket and therefore there is no time for it to arrive at my address. I need it to be e-ticket and have the seat reservation instantly. Can you recommend a solution for my specific case? thank you very much.

Seat reservations international train Berlin HBF - Krakow Glowny

Hi everyone! For our train trip between Berlin Hbf and Krakow Glowny, we would like to reserve two seats using the interrail app which redirects us to your site. However, we cannot make our seat reservations. We have already sent several emails to companies including: https://www.bahn.com/en/contact. We had been on hold on their phone number for 3 hours with no response. We have a transfer time of ten minutes. Should we arrange this at the train station?

'One of the legs of your journey could not be booked' (Paris to Cassis, 10/08/23)

Hi all, Kiwi here attempting to book train seats from Paris to Cassis on the 10th August for myself and my travel mate. We both have the EUrail 2nd class pass, however, when going to reserve our seats through the EUrail seat reservation we get the infamous ‘no longer available’ message.I have checked the b-europe.com availablity and there doesn’t appear to be any trains available to reserve seats on this day.Is there any other sites to check for seat reservations or is it just EUrail.com and b-europe.com?Have we simply left it too late and there are not seats available to reserve? or am I missing something?Any alternatives for trains/booking methods is greatly appreciated. Cheers.
