Problem with Reservation TGV to Paris

Hello, I hope you can help me.I booked the Interrail Global-Pass, because I wanna travel from Augsburg (DE) to Angouleme (FR) on the 2nd of November.My preferred choice would be the train from “Augsburg” 07:16 - 12:31 to “Paris Est” and then from “Paris Montparnasse” at 14:19 - 16:35 to “Angouleme”. The return is supposed to be on the 4th of November.Now the problem is that I can't buy a reservation on the Interrail website for the TGV to Paris because this error message appears:"Prices unavailable.No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable."  At first I thought that simply this particular trip was fully booked, but even the furthest in the future TGV train (10/12/22) to Paris has this error message (I even tried different parameters, like starting point, date, time, etc.).I have also not been able to find any other website through which I could book only

Seat reservation : question for some of my stops

Hello everyone,Me and my girlfriend will start our interrail on Monday. We are excited about it after made a lot of preparation. We have our stops and we booked already some trains but I have some questions because I did’t find a clear answer in the posts here in the forum. For Krakow → Budapest : we plan to take a night train. I found this website mentionned in a post: https://booking.polrail.com/ Do you recommend it to book a couchette?  For Ljubljana → Split, I have to make a change in Zagreb, so take a second train from Zagreb to Split.In Slovenia,  I did find any information to book the first train. For the second, I saw that there is no possibility to book trains in Croatia. It has to be done in the country. Can you confirm? For the rest, I found myself or it didn’t require a reservation. Thanks in advance for your help.

Sweden to Finland/ferry - Stockholm to Turku possible?

Hi,as far as the official Interrail map is showing a ferry to reach Helsinki from Staockholm has to go to Tallinn first before continuing to Helsinki resp train to Turku.Is this correct or is there an Interrail option to go from Stockholm to Turku or Helsinki directly (without Tallinn)?ThxJürgen

tickets for christmas 2022

Hi everyone,I’m a bit confused. I bought a rail pass to travel next christmas and today, the 15th of october, there is still no train timetable available on interrail website further than the 10th of december.I’m afraid it will be too late. For example, the SNCF in France launched tickets for christmas holidays and most of the tickets on the main lines have been sold.I’m a bit disappointed and I’m thinking of asking for a refund for my pass and eventually buy a flight ticket I would have paid 100 euros less if I had bought it last month…Any advice ?

Berlin to Prague 3rd January

Hi All,I have tried to reserve a seat on a Berlin to Prague train (9.16am on 3rd January) however it says ‘we are unable to offer any reservations on the service you have chosen’. I am able to book seats at other times on the same day but not the 9.16 train. Does anyone know why this is?Thank you in advance for your help!

Missing Frecciargento

Hi all,I’ve been recently doing a reservations blitz before I set off for my 15 travel days early next month.Most have gone smoothly, but I’m having a bit of trouble booking FA 8828 between Barletta (15:06) and Venezia S. Lucia for November 30th.Trenitalia are displaying and selling this train, but it doesn’t appear on the Interrail timetable or OEBB’s Scotty beyond November 4th. It’s a strange omission because both those apps are showing most long-distance and regional Italian trains for November 30th already.Am I right in thinking the 8828 will probably be added to the Rail Planner and/or OEBB with the next monthly update? If so, does anyone know when that update takes place; at the end of the month, perhaps?Many thanks for any pointers!

Reservation Sofia to Istanbul

An important note about this train. It is frequently fully booked on the day and sometimes a few days before. The clerk at the international desk told us it was full on Friday Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Unfortunately it can’t be booked outside of Bulgaria so you must allow time to buy in person. You must have your passport with you when buying these reservations. A double sleeper costs the equivalent of 30 euros.Specialist agencies can help as they use local contacts to buy the tickets and deliver them to hotels or can even meet you in person but you have to pay for this level of service!

Do I need paper tickets for Milan to Florence train?

Using the Interail website, I booked seat e-ticket seat reservations for Milan to Florence. The accompanying email said I needed to print the reservations but other things I've read suggest this isn't necessary. Which is it?

Do you need to reserve trains far in advance? Germany in October 2022

Hello! I booked a 15 day first class mobile Eurail pass which will be valid in late October when I arrive in Germany. That being said, I don’t have much of an itinerary -- I’ll be in Frankfurt and Cologne for a few days, but otherwise, I hope that I can be spontaneous to some extent. So -- How hard is it to schedule a train, day of travel, for a route like Frankfurt → Cologne, for example? Do I need to reserve ahead of time?If I want to go to the other countries serviced by Deutsche Bahn, like parts of Northern Italy and Austria via Munich, how do I go about scheduling that in the app?

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

Amsterdam Vienna Nightjet couchette

Looking at booking Nightjet Ams -- Vienna in Feb. 3 travellers.A private couchette seems to be 199e without the pass and the same price using the pass. Am I mistaken or does the Nightjet offer make the use of one day of the travel pass obsolete?

How to enter Globalpass details in Trenitalia's website

How can Globalpass info be entered in Trenitalia's website?I’d like to use my Globalpass to book travel from Florence to Rome on Apr 2 2023 but Eurail’s website says “Sorry we don’t have train times for these dates yet” so I went to Trenitalia's website and it returns all the trains for that date but doesn’t seem to provide a way to enter my Globalpass info.I’ve done the following research:I read https://community.eurail.com/train-connections-reservations-47/extra-pass-needed-for-travelling-through-italy-2358 which says I should be able to use Trenitalia's website. According to https://community.eurail.com/train-connections-reservations-47/how-to-get-reservations-105, I should be able to use oebb.at but it doesn’t have any trains for my date. https://community.eurail.com/eurail-interrail-passes-41/on-which-routes-in-italy-can-i-use-the-eurail-7338 says there’s a “country specific page on this site”, presumably referring to this Community site, but I can’t find the page.Thanks for any p
