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

Reservations in some Grand Est TERs

Another French region will try to manage their inability to provide enough capacity by making reservations mandatory:2 TER lines in Grand Est will have mandatory reservations from 1 July:https://www.francebleu.fr/infos/economie-social/a-partir-de-cet-ete-la-reservation-sera-obligatoire-dans-les-ter-vallee-de-la-marne-6533098Paris - Troyes - Belfort - Mulhouse Paris - Épernay - St. Dizier/Bar-le-Duc (possibly all the way from/to Strasbourg for the few trains that do that)The reservations are supposed to be free of charge and available from 1 March. No idea however, how or where they can then be booked.

Sweden - Norway (Finland?)

Hello!I am already on the road (railway) heading to Stockholm. I would to visit both Sweden and Norway and enjoy the landscape that offer a railway travel. I planned, for now, this simple route:Stockholm - Oslo - Bergen - Oslo - Trondheim - Bodo - Oslo - Malmo - Copenaghen I was thinking also to do the route Stockholm - Narvik, but it seems like very long and with no interesting intermediate stops.  Do you recommend it anyway? What about Finland?I was able to book with SJ to get in Sweden. About Norway is it true that is it possible to reserve only by phone(Entur)?On the app I see ALL trains need a reservations, is it correct?Thank you :D

Night Train Unavailable from Amsterdam to Zurich

Hi,I would like to take a sleeper train from Amsterdam to Zurich early May, but the eurrail site and OBB site both say that tickets are unavailable for the night jet. I’ve already selected Interrail/eurrail pass holder for the discount and one-way travel option, but all the night jet tickets are “unavailable”. Does this mean that all the night jets are booked full? What should I do?

Ferry Malta

Just to be sure.  Is there a ferry from Italy to Malta,  which is included in the global pass ? The grimaldi ferries are not running the lane anymore.  And as I can see, is the virtu ferries,  which is probably the only one, not included! Right?

Please help! Specific Route from Freiburg to Hamburg not showing in app

HI friends! I am brand new to the Eurail community and trying to book my first leg of my journey from Titisee > Freiburg > Hamburg > Copenhagen on 9/30 and arriving 10/1  I just called OBB directly to make a seat reservation from  as all the research I’ve done says that making a seat reservation through the app is not guaranteed and is more expensive (can someone clarify that as a side note?) I am buying a first class Eurail pass as this specific trip was required to reserve first class due to availability.  My problem is that the Eurail planner is now only showing a Nightjet Freiburg > Hamburg leg … this is exactly the same time as the Intercity train that I’m supposed to be on. I’d really like to avoid any fines and the OBB service agent told me that the Nightjet is COMPLETELY sold out so I’d have to take the intercity but the timetable is exactly the same… i’ll just have to be in a seat. She confirmed there were still seats in first class for Intercity 60400 at 21:58… I

Reservation problem - NightJet Wien-Paris

Hello, as part of my interrail pass, I would like to book the night train: NJ 469 (Paris-Est to Wien Meilding) on July 19, 2022 at 7:57 p.m. However, when I go to the reservation site by logging in with my pass, I am only offered two options: a seat at 21.9€ (I don't want to) or a single person cabin at 151€ ( far too expensive). However, when I do a search without logging in, the option "Bed in a 6-berth compartment" I want to take at 44€. This option is not present when I connect with my pass, why? In addition, the prices are more expensive when I connect with my pass. Why ? Thank you for your reply.

How do you make reservations in advance with a paper pass?

After much research into mobile paper vs. paper pass, I am leaning towards getting a paper pass just for simplicity’s sake and ease of use. However, I am still confused as to how I would make reservations on train in France for example WITHOUT buying an entire ticket from the native train company in order to get a seat reserved. Is it possible to make a reservation through the eurail.com website WITHOUT a mobile pass even if you own a paper pass?The situation I’m in is I’m from Canada and will be flying to France sometime soon but I dont know how to make a reservation on the TGV trains in advance if I had a paper pass. I assume showing up to the station one day early would make my chance of getting a seat reservation quite slim, but if I can't purchase a reservation in advance (ie on the eurail app or website), I might be in a bit of a pickle. Thanks for any help!

Bought a Global Eurail pass but not able to reserve a seat

I just purchased a global Eurail pass and created a Eurail account, and now I want to reserve a seat to get from Vienna to Amsterdam (any route possible).I’ve tried multiple different routes, days, browsers etc. but every time when I get to the check out screen, the system runs an error and says “something went wrong”. I’ve sunk 6 hours into trying to reserve this trip.

What to do if you miss your last train on Inbound/Outbound day? [DE/EN]

Hey! [EN]I am about to finish my 10-day interrail trip and it has been a pleasure so far. Only thing that was annoying was the I/O day rule so far. Now my question is that if I decide to take a night train (after having taken another train before in my home country so that the I/O day has activated already) and my train that I have taken before is delayed so that I cant reach said Night train (seating, no bed), would I be allowed to take the next train as it isnt on the inbound/outbound day anymore (but 1am/2am on the next day aka next train possible on exactly the same route) because I wouldnt be responsible for the delay?thanks in advance! [DE] Ich bin kurz davor meinen 10-tägigen Interrail Trip zu beenden und würde gerne erfahren ob ich, wenn ich einen Nachtzug an meinen wohnsitzlandstagen nehme,  vorrausgesetzt ich hätte vorher schon am selben tag einen zug genutzt, sodass dieser Wohnsitzland-Tag schon aktiviert ist, würde ich bei einer Verspätung des vorhergehenden Zuges, der mich

Paris to Luxembourg seat reservation unavailable

I am trying to book Paris to Luxembourg on Sunday 28-May. All the times naturally say reservation required but when I click on them they all turn red and say “seat reservation unavailable” with the blip saying that seats may be sold out. I have checked every train that connects from Saarbruecken to Luxembourg across numerous days of the week and different months and they all say “seat reservation unavailable”. Other connecting trains are giving me the same issue. So I can get out of Paris but the final train to Luxembourg always gives the red unavailable box. Is it really this challenging to get to Luxembourg by train as I haven’t had issues with any of my other routes. Starting to think we might just remove Luxembourg from our trip.

Prague to Zurich overnight sleeper with en-suite May 9

I have been told that the sleeper for the Prague to Zurich is currently only available till mid Feb. I intend checking regularly until the 9/5/2024 booking is available, but in the meantime I want to make sure I choose the right train and right booking method. On an earlier question I was told “This can be booked at https://www.nightjet.com/ train number is EN 50466 Add Interrail/Eurail as discount for each passenger and search to get passholder fare. Cost for 2 in private sleeper is €116 or €156 for en-suite sleeper.” The one I want is the cost for 2 in an en-suite sleeper.So if I go to nightjet.com and enter a date in early Feb (to see how it works) I select adults and load my discount, it gives me the following options. Would the first one be the right one to make the desired bookingOn a subsequent question I was told “The sleeper can currently be booked until 18 February, on tickets.oebb.at and cd.cz”. So if I go to oebb.and search for the same dates and destinations, i get a diffe

Sofia-Istanbul night train

Hello, I am planning to travel by night train from Sofia to Istanbul, but according to information from the Bulgarian Railways, buying tickets is only possible at the international ticket office of the train station. So, is there any possibility to buy the tickets in advance since I don't plan to stay in Sofia (in the morning I will arrive and leave for Istanbul in the afternoon), and I am afraid that the tickets will be sold out on the day of the trip? Thank you in advance,
