Train connections & reservations

Is it a problem during the train check if you have a 1st class train ticket but booked the seat reservation for the 2nd class because there was no free seat in 1st class?

Hello!I’ll be travelling w/ my husband and 3 kids mid july and we plan to take the Bosphorus Express from Bucharest to Istanbul. The tickets seems to be only available at the Bucuresti Nord Rail Station. We will be arriving there only the same day of our departure. As we are 5, I’m a bit stress about getting the 5 couchettes booking only some hours before departure. If someone has feedback to tell me if it’s a busy train or not (especially in July), it would be nice. Thank you ! Anaïs

Hello, I am buying the 1st class eurail global pass. However, i would like to confirm that  the pass will pay for the Glacier expresss, and all i will need is to pay extra for the reservation and meals. Please advise.

Hello,I have made a mistake on my seat reservation dates today which is almost a month away. Is there anyway I can change it to a correct date? I did find anywhere to make the change immediately. Any help I appreciate. Thank you

Hi all!! I’m very worry about my reservation from Wien to Amsterdam with obb nightjet: We’re 2 adults + 2 children and we bokeed a couchette.On monday I received a mail from obb nightjet informing that there’s a problem and we don’t have the couchette, the company propose to travel on seats o cancel the reservation.I’ve called two times to the company and the persons who attended my by phone are sure that my reservation don’t have any problem, all is ok. I’ve asked them some mail saying that (all is correct and you have your couchette) but they say is not possible (I don’t understand why). So, someone in the same situation now or in the past? Someone knows what can I do? I already have the pdf ticket, so my intention is go to the train station. Many thanks!

I am trying to reserve a seat in first class ICE 13 on July 21, Brussels to Frankfurt (08:25 to 12:32) since last week of June. I am checking everyday but app shows there is no reservations possible. Looks like reservation in first class is full. I am using interrail Germany pass. Next option , I have is an ICE train with departure late in in the afternoon which is not an option.I have reservation from Brussels to Aachen. I have NO reservation from Aachen to Frankfurt. Is it really normal that train is full 4 weeks in advance? First class tickets are available to book on ICE 13 even though system doesn’t allow reservationI have following option, which is better?Add Brussels to Frankfurt in the journey and travel without reservation after Aachen. Can they ask passengers to leave the train if train is overcrowded. If yes, will railplanner app allow to change or add new journey from Aachen? Take the RE train from Aachen to Koln Messe (10:18 to 11:26)

Is there a train from Rome to Venice Italy connected with Eurail?Is the train Railjet connected with Eurail?Is the train Frecciarossa connected with Eurail? 

So I won a DiscoverEu pass and my friend bought the same one so we can go together but if I want to make a group on interrail.eu I am not allowed. It says that he has a different type of pass. Do you have some suggestions how we can create a group or we just reserve the seats separately?

Hi we need to reserve the seats for this specific nightrain. However it only shows ticket not available. it says this for all of these trains on this route. So do we need to get it in person on the train? or could we just like sit in the train and explain? Any help would be greatly appreciated!  

Heya!I am trying to book a ferry from Igoumenista to Patras in August and although there it appears in the interrail app when i got to the superfast/anek website the journeys do no seem to be there, does anyone know why and how I can book this journey? Thank you!!

Hello! Glad to have found this community for helping out fellow travelers :)I have a group of 4 family members which are going for a 22 day travel through Europe, mostly by trains. They bought the 22 day global pass for 2 adults, 1 youth, 1 senior and are trying to book the trips, starting from Rome Termini, going North until Paris Gare-De-Lyon (they will continue from there to London then Amsterdam and finally Interlaken, before going back to Rome for their return flight to Brazil.The Eurail website is able to find the routes in the planner and add them to the cart, then finally fail with a 500 error when finishing the order. I could find several threads on the community about similar errors and how unreliable the Planner is, so I have directed them to the oebb website to do the reservations. But they don’t seem to be able to find a suitable route even for the start of the journey (Rome-Paris).Their desired starting date is Aug-13, from Rome Termini to Paris Ga

We received an email that our Thalys train, on 15\7\2023, from Brussels Midi to Paris Nord, was cancelled. Did anybody else get this?But iff you go to their website, you can still book the same route, same day, same time. But the price is now 3 times as high. I feel like they are cancelling so they can book our seat at higher prices. Anybody know what is really going on?

Hi, I’m in Beograd heading for Stockholm. What trip do I need to take? Best, V

Hi, when I want to reservate the train from Utrecht to Frankfurt (next week), there is a bug in the Interrail-eurail site:So I can't reservate while it is required. What do I have to do?

My niece and I decided to travel through Europe this fall and created a really fun route. One of our plans was to take the night train from Krakow to Budapest on November 10th. To our surprise it seems to be sold out everywhere, is that true? They don’t specifically say that it’s sold out but I get an error every time I try to make a reservation. It says we should be able to book 60 days in advance.If we can’t take this train the rest of our whole route doesn’t work... On cd.cz I get: “No train can be reserved for the specified date/route – this may be due to operational restrictions (e.g. closure activity).” On Interrail.eu I get: “Prices unavailable”When trying to contact CD and the Polish Intercity all I got was a direction on where to book tickets in general. Hope someone can help us figure this out :) This is our first time using Interrail...

Hi all!I am looking to book a night on the Caledonian Sleeper, but I am going to travel with a friend who does not have an interrail pass, he lives in the UK so it’s not a possibility sadly.I asked their customer service what would be the best way to arrange this, and they said I can book a single room supplement just for me, but to tell the train crew before boarding that I have a second person traveling with me. They would then charge us an additional £50.Does anyone have any experience with this? I don’t doubt what their support told me but it feels like a backdoor to save some costs, which I’ll gladly take of course.

I reserved 4 seats for my family later this month traveling from Birmingham to Liverpool. I realize now that I didn’t have to pay, but Eurail directed me to reserve the seats through acprail.com. Since I reserved the seats, I need to change my departing station from BHX to Birmingham New Street. I can’t find any way to do so and any inquiries have to be emailed in. Does anyone know of how I can change it online?

Hi everyone, what happens if I take a train at 6:00 PM and I reach other country the next day morning? Do I have to spend 2 days of my pass? Thanks in advance

How do a make a seat reservation on the chur to zurich train? Thanks

Greetings,I am looking for advice for travel arrangements by rail from Budapest to Croatia (destination to be determined, based on ease of travel). We have 4 days to spend and our next stop will be Venice. A friend recommended Pula.It is looking like trains to Pula or Rijeka are upwards of 10 hours in duration and are just generally, more difficult to get to. Is there a sleeper car? Is there an easier way to get to Croatia from Budapest? Is there somewhere else we should consider visiting instead?

I want to reserve my seats for my train from Amsterdam-bruxells midi. However, when I want to reserve it’s says they are no prices available. Where can I reserve my seats? Or can just board the train without seat?  thanks!

i want to book seat reservations für Portugal with the IC but it is not possible:  

Bonjour, J’aurai quelques questions pour un futur voyage J’ai reçu le pass interrail qui permet d’aller en Allemagne pendant 7 jours consécutifs. Souhaitant partir de Grenoble, on me propose des trajets passant par la Suisse, et qui ne sont pas disponibles avec le pass (logique, mais je voudrai juste vérifier que c’est bien normal) Je décide donc de passer par Paris, mais pour y aller dans des délais raisonnables, je dois prendre un TGV, ce qui suppose des frais de réservation de 12€. Ces frais de réservation sont-ils obligatoires ? J’ai entendu à la radio qu’aller en gare permettait de ne pas avoir à payer ces frais. Ensuite, puis-je prendre tous mes billets dans la même gare (pour aller et retour) ? Mais aussi prendre les billets dans une gare française pour les trajets internes en Allemagne ?Comment ça
