Seat reservation says 'prices unavailable' - Is it possible to reserve a seat at the station on the day?

Me and six friends are traveling in late June to early July- When trying to book seat reservations it says prices unavailable on the site, mainly the over night trains e.g-Prague to Budapest-Ljubljana > Sevnica to SplitWe are quite stressed as this may be because the seats are booked up and we wont be able to board these trains , however is it possible to go to the station in person a day or a few hours before and book a seat reservation or is this not possible. Please let me know as we are quite stressed about it. Thankyou x

how to make Panoramic Express seat reservation from Interlaken to Montreux

We have the Global Pass, our trips are all added to the pass. Tried to book seat reservation on PE train from Interlaken to Montreux on Eurail reservation page. The video showed very easy booking but not at all like that on their reservation site. Are we missing something?

Checking Eurostar reservation possiblities before booking Eurrail / Interrail Global Pass - where and how?

I would like to book a family pass but haven’t done so yet. We will be travelling from the UK on a particular day: and on that day staying in France with friends who will only be able to meet us at the nearest train station at a reasonably early time in the day. Ie. don’t want to waste time or money buying the Interrail pass before we know exactly which reservations are on offer and whether it suits. I have gone to the generic Eurrail / Interrail help & support page about how you do this but still can’t see how I can look up which seat reservations are available. Nothing comes up when I enter our dates. Help!I would prefer to use a helpful website than download a space and data consuming app. So no app recommendations, please. Queries: I want to know before booking the Eurail pass whether it’s worth buying the first / second class pass. Where can I do that? And see all the available seat reservations for the different travel legs and days, before buying a pass? I’d like to know i

urgent - night sleeper reservation Bucharest Budapest

Hi there, I'm trying to get out of sofia, and my plan was to go to Bratislava. I guess the night sleeper from Bucharest to Budapest is the most suitable for this, but I cannot seem to find a way to book a seat or bed online, without paying for the whole ticket. I am scared that if I book it in the train station, it will be sold out. I tried OBB, db and CFR. It is for tomorrow. Help is very appreciated, thank you in advance!

Venice to Rome without eurail but with trenitalia pass

Hiwe have used up our eurail travel days. We need to get from Venice St Lucia to Rome Termini tomorrow with 2 adults, 1 senior and 2 kids (age 7-10). Should I get another eurail pass (Italy only) or trenitalia pass (kids travel free) to get on the Frecciarossa to Rome? We may also consider going to Pompeii. then we can use the pass for Rome city to Rome airport?

Ticket for a bus of länstraffiken Norrbotten

I want to go by bus from Murjek (Sweden, Norrland) to Kvikkjokk. The provider is Länstraffiken Norrbotten , which is listed as participating by Interrail (www.interrail.eu/de/plan-your-trip/tips-and-tricks/trains-europe/railway-companies). But I can’t get a ticket: Kvikkjokk is not listed at all, for there is no railway station.

EC405 and IC407 reservations

Hello, I’m trying to book a seat reservation for EC 405 from Berlin Hbf (9.50 am) to Warsaw for August 1st IC 107 from Warsaw (7.10 pm) to Budapest for August 2ndThey’re both available on PKP intercity website but they don’t show any interrail discount/seat reservation only. EC405 is shown on DB website but they say the reservation is impossible. I’d prefer to avoid booking via interrail website since it’s quite expensive (and they also say IC107 can’t be reserved on their website). I was wondering if there’s any way to reserve a seat only via PKP or if you have any other advice on how to find these tickets.Thanks!

Hi, We are trying to book a private sleeping cabin on the night train from Malmo to Stockholm (14/8 22:32-05:37) with a 2nd class pass.However, the message below is shown on booking page.“Prices unavailableNo price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable.” When I tried to search this train on SJ website, it says:“Track work is plannedRight now, track work is planned on the route Malmö C–Sthlm Central when you want to travel. We release tickets when the planning is complete and we know how the trains will be able to run.Come back at a later time or choose another journey.” Is it possible to know when will the train work finished planning so I could possibly reserve a seat?In everyone experience, should I wait for the planning or should I search for another train/transportation? Thank you for your replies in advance!

Schedules unavailable in the app after making a reservation

Hello, I made a reservation on the eurail site (web). The trip is from Verona to Zurich. The Journey is from:(1) Verona to Milan (Requires Reservation)(2) Milan to Lugano (Youre ready to board)(3) Lugano to Zurich (Youre ready to board) The reservation required is only the first part so I booked it and got my ticket.Part 2 and 3 of the journey, says on the journey, 'You're ready to board'. So I assumed that it doesn't require reservation.My problem is, I can't find the same scheduled journey on my Rail Planner app.On the eurail reservation the entire journey is from 10:02 AM (Verona) arrive at 14:55 (Zurich). I'm having headache now, I dunno how to activate the same journey in my app and add it to may pass if I can find that exact scheduled trip. Hope you can help, it’s my first time 😭

Hamburg HBF - Copenhagen (seat reservation)

Do I need a seat reservation for that journey? in OBB there are no seats or reservation is not necessary? In a eurail it does not say anything about whether this route needs a seat reservation. On trains in Austria they always ask me to reserve a seat, I have Eurail first class, only for my first class do I need a reservation?

No seat option from Zurich to Como S Garibaldi

In the Eurail site it shows seats can be reserved but when I go through the process it gives and error. It seems to switch me from electronic tickets to paper tickets and I live in the USA and cannot receive paper tickets in time. This is a non-stop train on TrenItalia but when I go to the TrenItalia site it doesn’t offer Zurich as a departure station so couldn’t resolve the issue there either. All advice gratefully received.

How to book a 6 berth couchette privately from Budapest to Romania

Hi - we are a family of 4 backpacking from London to Istanbul in August 2023.We want to book a 6 berth couchette exclusively for us from Budapest to Sighisoara in Romania. The Inter-rail booking system will only let us book 4 tickets in a 6 berth (there are no 4 berth couchettes showing as available otherwise I would book that). The Romanian train website shows availability for a 6 berth but says you can only book a max of 5 tickets. We don’t mind paying for the additional 2 places to guarantee having it to ourselves. I can’t see how to use our inter-rail pass if I book direct either.Can anyone help us navigate this? How can we use our interrail pass to book a couchette exclusively for this journey?Thank you!

How to use the app

My young adult children have the eurail pass. If I go to the app on my phone, add their passes and save their trips, is there a way for them to see the reservations? Or could I share screenshots of the qr codes? They have all of their seat assignments. There is one train from Strasbourg to Lucerne that does not require a seat reservation, but I know I need to somehow get a ticket for it. I am not traveling with them. Just helping them out. Once I add their tickets to my app, will they be able to add them to their app? Or is there a link I can share for them to get the QR code?
