From Athens to Kiato - Seat reservations

Hello,I'm looking at the routes from Athens to Kiato by train (with the interrail pass).When I add the train in the Rail Planner application, I realise that I can't book the ticket, it only says "no reservation" when I click on "show services".Does this mean that I don't need to book a ticket and simply activate it as a journey on the application?Thanks in advance

Reserved a trip that does not exist anymore

Hello !Tomorrow (23/03) I planned to travel from Copenhagen to Paris. My trip planned was :7h26 Copenhagen -> Schleswig (seat reserved)10h39 Schleswig -> Hamburg (without seat)12h24 Hamburg -> Mannheim (without seat) (train ICE 77)17h38 Mannheim -> Paris (seat reserved)The problem is that, when I look at Deutsche Bahn site the train from Hamburg to Mannheim does not departure at 12h24 but 10h27 (so 2h before I arrive there...).I see that now when we want to reserve a Copenhagen -> Paris in Interrail website for tomorrow they suggest a trip that goes through Koln and not Mannheim, but I don't have a ticket for Hamburg -> Koln and Koln -> Paris. Do you know what I can do? Should I reserve the other trip and hope they will refund me the first trip?

Italian trains In August

Hello! I’ve been keeping an eye trying to book trains in Italy mid-to-late August! Every search I do seems to turn up no results! I appreciate it’s a popular time so I’ve been keeping an eye out for months now.I’m now concerned that the trains are fully booked! Given my searches are turning up available results in September (where they weren’t before)any advice on what to do/how to reserve would be appreciated. TIA.

Couchette for 4 on the nighttrain France with 2 kids

Hi, we're a family with 2 adults and 2 kids of 4,5 years old. We're traveling with second class interrail tickets. We're taking the night train from Cerbère to Paris in April. Yesterday I bought our seat reservations asking for a 4-berth couchette in order to not disturb other travelers. The person selling us the tickets didn't ask any questions and sold us couchette places in a 4 person couchette. Checking the tickets afterwards, I saw that it's a first class couchette while we only have second class interrail. Would this cause any problems? If so, can I still change these tickets to a 6 person couchette?Thanks a lot.Hannah

Renfe

Hi Please can someone help me. I can’t seem to find the train departures from Madrid to Oviedo and between Ferrol to Porto. I have an interrail global pass but the train times aren’t showing in the journey planner. I’ve heard things about Renfe but what can I do? I’m going end of April 2024. Have Renfe not released the tickets yet and if so when will I know? thanks Will

Golden Pass Lucerne to Interlaken

Hello - I have 3 days in Lucerne in April and one of the trips I’d like to do is from Lucerne to Interlaken. I’ve seen lots of comments about not needing to reserve trains in Switzerland but thought I’d check it out. I’ve had a look on OBB and SBB and Rail Europe and can’t find any reservations available. It seems possible on the Eurail site itself. The only other place I can see to purchase them is at https://store.luzern.com/luzern_en/specials/daytrips/zentralbahn-int-lu I’ve looked on there for 24th April and the seating plan shows quite a lot of seats are already booked so it seems as though it might be a good idea to book after all? Or could it be that only some seats are able to be reserved and the rest are left for people to hop on/hop off? Has anyone booked reservations via this shop? Many thanks for advice

Can't book seat reservations in Italy with OEBB

Hello,I am trying to book seat reservations via oebb.at (as recommended in this community) for traveling in and out of Italy. The trip is on 20-04-2024 from Florence to Lugano. I am trying to book FR9504 from Florence SMN to Milano Centrale, departing at 6:55. And EC316 from Milano to Lugano, departing at 9:10 from Milano Centrale. However, via the OEBB site the seat reservations cannot be booked. What is going wrong? Should I just book them via Interrail reservation tool?Kind regards,Daniël

Is RailEurope reliable ?

Hello,I want to make reservations for TGV in France and Eurostar from Paris to Amsterdam.I’ve seen that the Eurostar can be booked through the website of the SNCB but unfortunaly TGV can’t be and it is not possible on the website of the SNCF neither.But I’ve seen that both can be booked through RailEurope but I wanted to be sure I could trust the website since it is not from any national carrier and that I will not have tickets that are not valid when I board the train or something like that. Does anyone have ever used this website ? And additionnaly do they charge a booking fee and how much ?Thank you very much

interrail family night trains

hello!We would do a interrail family from Rome (Italy) to Sweden, with stops in Munich, Copenaghen, Malmo, Stockholm, and back. We would use a night train from Rome to Munich, and from Munich to Copenhaghen. But I can’t unterstand if night trains costs are included in Interrail family ticket or not, (in this case the amount of the difference to pay), and how we can book reservations, having children..Thank you very much!

Reservation Stockholm-Goteborg

Hello, my girlfriend and I want to go from Stockholm to Goteborg in August this year (August 15th). We have already booked the Interrail ticket, but it is not possible to book a reservation for any train. The latest train where I could book a reservation would be on June 3rd. Starting with June 4th, I cannot find any single train on any date where I could book a reservation.Is every single reservation after June 3rd outbooked, or can I only try to book the reservation like 3 months before the trip (like in Germany) or so? Thank you in advance for all answers (and sorry if my english is not the best ;) )!

Night train from Naples to Palermo please help!

My friend and I both have 1st class Eurail passes. I am very confused as what these cabin reservations mean?Is it one single cabin for the both of us?Is it a 1st class single cabin each?What is the difference between the two?Is it actually direct an I also looked on another site and the exact same train journey has a 40 minute connection? (I don’t know if this is the ferry?) Advice would be greatly appreciated I just don’t want to make a mistake! Thanks :)

Reserving seat on deutsche bahn

I am travelling from München, Germany to Ghent, Belgium on the 12th of April (leave at 10:30, arrive at 18:57) and I want to reserve seats on the website from Deutsche Bahn since we’ll be carrying a lot of luggage. I go to their website, and try to do that. It works to select seats for the parts within Germany, but when I press continue to select the seats, it suddenly says “Seat selection no longer possible”. I have no idea why. I tried again, and can always select the exact seats, but I’m left with that message in the end always. What to do?
