Greek Islands Pass

Hi all! I was trying to reserve a ferry from Athens to Crete, and I can’t seem to find the Eurail discount option. Attached is a screenshot of a different route, the discount is very clear and easy to find. But whenever I try to book to/from Crete, it won’t appear. I believe the pass allows us to travel to Crete as well. I checked all three websites (Superfast, Blue Star and Hellenic) and I keep finding the same scenario. The discount just doesn’t show up within the options. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!!

Vegan options on Glacier Express

Hello all, I can’t tell from their website. Does anyone know if they do vegan options on the Glacier Express? I am keen to splash out on 3 or 4 courses but I’m not sure if they will cater for my partner who is vegan. Thank you!

Train from Paris to Salzburg full? 'Ticket not available'

Hello, I have tried to book a reservation for 2 people for the Railjet sleeper on 30th April from Paris to Salzburg. It says ‘ticket not available’. Does this mean the train is full? Thank you. We have a first class interrail pass.

Am I too early to book seat reservation

Hi, I’m Rai, my partner and I are plannning our trip in 7 months time.:Stockholm to Berlin to Prague to Vienna to Ljubjlana to Budapest to Kraków. Journey starting 4th August. ARE WE TOO EARLY TO BOOK SEAT RESERVATIONS?The website, the app, and the individual train station website all have not allowed us to book reservations. They show us the trains and prices but won’t let’s us progress past that. We have already got our passesIf we are indeed too early as we suspect, when should we book? As we then don’t want to leave it too late. thanks!

Help with Seat Reservations from Manchester to Paris

I am trying to book the trip below through Eurail and I am receiving a message that directs me to the ACP Rail website to reserve the seats.  Manchester Piccadilly > Paris Nord I've spoken to a representative from ACP Rail and they shared that I am unable to book this route on their website with a Eurail pass so I am quite confused on where I can reserve seats. I have tried reaching out to Eurail and despite the chat bot saying I will receive an email, I have yet to hear back.  I am hoping to receive assistance in booking seat reservations. Thank you in advance.

Seat reservations

echoing what several others have said here - i just bought a 2month/15day 1st class global pass.but as i start to look at schedules for all the trips i want to take - MOST of them are coming back with “No Prices Available” because the pass-holder quota of seats (i guess) are all sold out. so - i am starting to question the usefulness of this pass.  just spend $650 - and haven’t been able to find ANY reservations for anu train i’ve wanted to get on (Stockholm - Oslo, Oslo - Bergen, Zurich - Brussels, St Moritz - Zermatt, etc).  for travel in March. anyone else feel this way?  any advice on canceling my pass and getting a full refund?  and just buying point-to-point tickets? Appreciate your advice.  I am a first time user here. NB

Durchreise durch das Heimatland

Hi, Ich habe mich gefragt, wenn ich noch keins meiner Ein- oder Ausreisetage genutzt habe zählt dann eine durchfahrt durch mein Heimatland als Einreise und Ausreise wenn ich dies an einem Tag mache? Oder wird da nur eins von von diesen verwendet und ich kann am Ende des Tickets nochmal Einreisen?  Hinzu käme dass die Einreise ein Nachtzug wäre und die Ausreise dann über den Tag geht.

HOW to reserve seats in EURAIL and can you edit reserved seats if you miss it?

HI. I have read and known that apparently you can’t reserve seats from the actual Eurail planner app(which is frustrating). We will be traveling in April(after Holy Week)  from Milan to Rome, hence, I wanted to reserve seats ahead of time. What is the best site to do this for other trips as well or countries rather(Amsterdam, Paris, London, Brussels, Switzerland from Tirano). Thank you for your response.

Reservation won't be posted in time??? Krakow to Prague

Hi there,  We are travelling on three month global passes and keep coming up against the same issue of trying to book reservations on a train that are available to purchase (in this case Krakow to Prague) but we are unable to as it says they need to be posted out and we will not receive in time. We already booked reservations a few weeks ago when going Gothenburg to Stockholm and the reservations were emailed to us. Is there any way around the posting situation? This is becoming very frustrating as it is hindering our plans and journey.  Thank you!!!

Unable to find my train timing on Thalys main website

Hello all, I will be travelling from Paris nord to brussels on 13th Feb and i had already booked a train timing from the Eurail main website and paid for seats reservation (as i have the global pass). It gives me an E ticket and it’s u see Thylas plus it fits nicely the Eurail main website and my Eurail app that generates the QR code (which is rare as the app is not up the date), and i’m feeling very relief.  So recently, there have been train disruptions and strikes so i’ve been checking Thylas main website (as that is what Eurail website suggested after you press “train disruptions”)  in order to make sure the train that i had booked via the Eurail website is smooth going and not disrupted. However, after keying in my train departure and arrival station i could not seems to find the booking i’ve made via eurail website using the pass on the Thylas website. Can someone please advise what is going on - does it means Eurail has set aside some booking that don’t appear on Thylas website

Asked to update app but I have the latest version

Anyone else being barred from adding passes to your account, so you can make reservations, by a message to update the app. But when you do, you have the latest version of the app? Can’t see a way out of this? Anyone else manage to break this unhelpful loop?

Does Eurail allow one free upgrade to first class?

Hi - in 2023 will Eurail offer a special deal to upgrade once to a first class ticket? If so, we’d like to use this opportunity to buy first-class tickets on the Glacier Express. thanks

How to book a private cabin for 2 on Zurich to Berlin nightjet

Hi - My husband and I would like to take the nightjet with our Eurail Pass between Zurich and Berlin on Wed 27 July 2023. I am finding the nightjet web site choices confusing. When the time comes to create the reservation (180 days before the train ride) which option should I pick? We want a two-person accomodation, and do not wish to share with another person. Thanks!  Kay

How to book Nightjet from Vienna to Munich?

Hiya, we are planning to take the night jet from Venice to Munich on 31st May. I tried to book on Oebb but all the fare showing tickets not available. (I have tested with several dates) I also tried to book on Eurail reservations, there was no option of booking seats reservations either. Does the Venice to Munich nightjet open to Eurail pass holders? Thank you 🙂

To book via website or app

Hello all, I will be travelling using the Eurail global pass and inside the app it shows a timing that don’t match/show in the Eurail website. I’ll need to book seats reservations on the website and show a QR code to enter the train via the app. I’m just very confused so in this case, should i buy the seats reservations at the timing that’s shown on the website and appear in the train station without the QR code from the app (as the timing don’t match)?  And if i do book the seats reservations on website and turn up on the timing that’s on the web, i don’t have the QR code to enter as the app don’t have the timing on the web, will this be alright to just show evidence of my seats reservation?

How do I pay for the seat reservation fee after the tickets are added to my Eurail pass?

Hello everyone, my husband and I are doing a 3-month trip in Europe in April. Recently we tried to get our trip planned and have all the train rides booked and accommodations booked and confirmed. We bought the 1st class Eurail Global Pass continuous pass for 3 month. However, after I activated our passes, I saved some trips to our passes and turned on the button of one of the trips, and I went to “My Pass” section, clicked “show tickets”, I could see the ticket with a QR code, but couldn’t see any button for the payment options for the seat reservation fee. (it does show “seat reservations required with orange colour under the Journeys)Could anyone please advise me how to pay the seat reservation fee on the app to secure the seat as we need to book our accommodations based on the train times. Thank you in advance :)
