Poor seat assignment for reservation - need to change!

I just booked reservations (2) for Lyria 9270 from Lausanne to Dijon in September. We were assigned side-by-side seats, but on the upper level of the carriage. Also, there are better seats available in other cars with club seating with a table. We are not happy with the seat assignment since we are both over 75 and don’t want to carry luggage up and down the steps in the carriage. Eurail needs to step up their game and allow either active seat selection or ask for seat preferences. I’m trying to contact them now to see if the seats can be changed. Any advice?

Reservation night train Budapest Bucharest

Hi everyone, I’d like to take the overnight train departing from Budapest on 23/08/2023 at 19h10 and arriving at Bucharest on 24/08/2023 at 11h19. I’ve tried booking the journey online through interrail website but it looks like I can only get the tickets delivered by mail. I’ve tried to book the journey directly on OBB and DB websites but I couldn’t go through with the reservation. Any thoughts or suggestions on a way to book this train and get e-tickets ? Thanks !

DB Bahn seat reservation tickets

I purchased my DB Bahn seat reservations from the Interrail website. I received a PDF with a blurred QR-code. I wonder is there a way to transfer these tickets to the DB Bahn app instead of having various PDF-documents?The app asks for a 9-figure order number, but that can’t be found on the PDF. It just says Eurail.

Intercity Train Between Amsterdam Centraal and Brussels Zanventem Airport: supplement required

Hello,Can anyone explain to me how does the supplement required in IC Trains in the Netherlands work? I’ve been reading some answers to similar questions related to this topic here but I’m still in doubt if it’s due to going to the airport that I need to pay the supplement. In the DiscoverEU portal says that I need to buy it so I can open the gates at the Brussels Airport at my arrival from Amsterdam Centraal and that it is available at train stations and online. How much does this supplement cost and do I really need to pay for it? I have a FLEX pass btw.And do this IC trains get too full? I’m quite stressed about this journey because it’s my last connection (I have a flight later that day) and I don’t want to be surprised there. Where can I really buy this supplement and is this connection really frequent?Thank you so much!

Zagreb

Hi am travelling from Zagreb to Budapest in July on the IC201 1635 arriving 2216 and the app says I need reservations but I just don't seem to be able to do it. Should I just wing it and turn up (and risk not getting to my accommodation in Budapest)? Any advice welcomed. Thanks Martin

"Your Pass isn't valid on this date" message received when trying to book SNCF reservation for this Thursday

Hi. I have a 4 day in a month pass activated this morning but bought via “My Interrail” rather than the eurail site (there was a cash back offer before Christmas). I’m trying to book a Strasbourg to Paris ticket for Thursday via the only website that I can do it on I think, correct me if I’m wrong, this being www.interrail.eu. However it returns the message, “Your Pass isn't valid on this date” when searching. I’ve deleted old passes on the site and the only one pass in the “My Trips & Travellers” section is the one activated today. Any thoughts please?

Added tickets/connections won't load timetable details

Hi, my app working so far OK - but since this day when I go for My Trip > in “View as list” section where have my connections added, if I click on any connection for detailed info for each train (past or upcomming), the app show for me only starting and ending station. But will not unroll/list all the stations on the way. Thus can’t see where actually I’m at the time, calculate delay agains maps/GPS position when arriving at some station. So far phone restarted, restarted application - several times. I’m not on VPN, do have internet, at full speed now, no throttling applied, all other applications working well. App is with full acces within Android for all what is needed. I see only this: When tapping in the area roughly defined by the height of yellow line - usually it shows me all the stops on the way. But not this time. It won’t react anymore. Before this issue such action resolved in this result (pic added is a cropped out prtscn): I noticed “last timetable updated:” info - but

Seat Reservations paid-up but for non-existent train services through Eurail Firenze-Milan (-Spiez)

I booked and paid for seat reservations for Firenze SM Novella- Milano Porta Garibaldi and Milano Centrale-Spiez at the Eurail website against my account. Times on these paid-up seat reservations are 12.10pm depart Firenze 10/7/23 and 15.20 depart Milano same day.HOWEVER, neither the Eurail website nor the Trenitalia now show any train departing Firenze SMN at 12.10pm 10/7/23 even though I have paid for this reservation. (The Milano Centrale-Spiez train 15.20pm 10/7/23 seems to exist).Is my Eurail pass and/or seat reservation of any use?I contacted Eurail support but they simply said wait several weeks for the train schedules to be repopulated online. I have double checked 2 weeks later and the 12.10 Firenze train still does not exist 10/7.Is my paid up seat reservation with Eurail valid or of any use? I have no confidence in the situation. Should I buy yet another reservation on another Firenze service to Spiez - BUT I note these have different routes - via Bologne which requires yet

EUROSTAR seat reservation date change

Hello, I booked Eurostar through Eurail, but I booked the seat on the SNCB website. I just realized I picked the wrong time. I originally wanted to book for July 6th, but I chose July 13th, can you change the time for me? I have already tried to ask SNCB and eroustar to change the ticket, but their official website information said that if I want to change the price of the entire train trip, not just the seat price, but I have already ordered the train ticket through the eurail official website. Why do I change the ticket? Still need to pay the full amount?

Question without reservations: Barcelona - Toulouse - Lyon - Annecy

Hi everyone! I will travel in August:Barcelona to Toulouse: I wanted to do Barcelona - La Tour de Carol with line R3 of Rodalies de Catalunya (Renfe) and then La tour de Carol - Toulouse with TER (SNCF). On another date I want to take a TER Lyon - Annecy. For the Rodalies de Catalunya R3 train, do I just walk in the train and show my pass to the ticket inspector? Is there anything I should be aware of? I know how Spanish stations work (I am from Barcelona) but I don’t know what I’ll need inside of the train. For the TER, same question: do I just get in and show the pass? I read somewhere that last year TER trains in south-east were taken out of interrail but shortly after the pass was accepted again so I guess it should be okay. All the information you can provide will be highly appreciated! Thanks everyone for your help 😊

Question regarding rail pass and moving between countries

Hi,Hope you can help me out: I want to know if this railpass works between european countries and how easy is to book them.Context:I will be there with my girlfriend mid July to mid August visiting on holidays We will visit France, England, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Italy in that order I already bought outside the pass the trains between France-England and England-Belgium because is the start of our journey (maybe i wasted money, but sometimes you lose) We want to travel between cities in the afternoon because we want to avoid getting at night to our destination.My questions are:It’s really granted that i will have my train tickets (2) or this seat quota is difficult to get (the flight in is in 5 weeks) in a specific day? We are two so it’s possible to reserve the two seats at the same time? The local travel includes the metro or it’s specifically to inter-city trains?Thanks in advance and I apologize for my english.Saludos
