serbia connection

I have tried online, books and various chats, including national train companies and nobody seems to know how to travel from central europe (Germany or Austriafor example) to Serbia. It is a long trip which I do not mind but I do not want to just go without and schedule or reservations.  My own travel in the past was before Yugoslavia broke up so that doesn’t hrlp

Linking reservations to Interrail Pass if seat reservations are made on the national rail company

Hello everyone, I’m new to Interrail and I’m planning my trip. I’m thinking about booking through national rail companies website to book. I was wondering if I have to do something for my Pass, because my trip will not be available on my Rail Planner app. Do I have to link my reservations to my Pass on the app ?I will also be using ferries websites to book thanks to the promo code. Do you know If that’s counting as a travel day or if any of the seat reservations not made on Interrail ? Thanks a lot for helping !

Is this journey using 2 travel days because of the connection?

Hi everyone, I'm planning to go from Berlin to Copenhagen and this night train seems very convenient but I don't understand if that'd use one or two travel days? I'd get in the night train on the 30th, arrive on the 31st in Denmark and then would have to take a connection on the 31st, would that be one or two travel days?Thanks in advance

Ich habe versucht gestern bei der SBB nur einen Sitzplatz zu reservieren für den Eurostar von Paris nach London am 17.4.2023 und die Strecke London-Brüssel am 21.4 aber er hatte kein Suchergebnis das gleiche auch auf der Interrail Webseite . Meine FrageIst es weil der Fahrplan von Eurostar noch nicht draussen ist oder weil alles schon ausgebucht ist obwohl erst 6 Monate vor Reise gebucht werden kann das alles ausgebucht ist nur Sitzplaätze?| Könnt ihr mir Links geben wo ich nur Sitzplätze reservieren kann bsp bei Eurostar direkt?Kann man bei Eurostar auswählen ob man 2eir Plätze oder 4 Plätze möchte ? Geht das auch am Schalter von SBB Sncf ?Ich hoffe jemand kann mir eine Antwort geben

Viena-Liublianua

As the trip around Balkans is not factible, my friends and me are looking for a new route.We have thought about going:Venice-MunichMunich-VienaViena-LiublianaLiubliana-Zagreb and back home. But we don´t know exactly if there is a good comunication between Viena-Liubliana or Italy-Munich. We try to search for the itinerary of the trains but we don’t find nothing. I suppose that it can be because we are planning the trip for next summer.If someone could help me, I would be so pleased. Thank you!

Spain emailed reservations?

I need to make Spanish reservations by phone tomorrow (= less than 72 hrs before I arrive in Spain), using the number given on this site.Can anyone tell me, do they have to email you the reservation number(s), or do they just read them out to you over the phone? My Spanish is OK, but I can see I might have problems either writing down “ERRE… CHOTA… THERO...” etc, or else spelling out my email address in the same way!Thanks for any info - it doesn’t seem to be explained on the Spain reservations instructions page.

Does anybody know why ?Thanks

Don't want to buy pass while I can't see reservations I need

Hi all,  Our family is going to be travelling on the eurostar and tgv on two separate trips in December and January. I love the idea of the eurail pass but I can't find reservations for the journeys I need through the site. When I go to make a reservation through eurostar it is obviously much more expensive.  I would like to purchase a pass but only if I can see the reservation I require before I purchase.  Any advice / further info?  ThanksDan

Sneaky change to Thalys 1st Class reservations

The following is a reply to @Angelo‘s post at the bottom of the thread, which it took a great deal of mental strength for me to copy/paste elsewhere and thus preserve the sanctity and cleanliness of that most vital resource 😅I suspect a fair few people would already have known about this development, but it needs to be heard loudly enough that as few 1st class passholders as possible find themselves disappointed; particularly given that this information hasn’t been updated on all parts of the Interrail website (https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/reservations/reservation-fees/international-train-reservation-fees).---Definitely not topical (*sorry!*), but I have to say for the sake of consumer advice, that I’m glad now this booking fell through, because I then tried to book via Thalys’ own call centre. I found out that they have now stealthily removed the quota system that allowed a certain number of 1st class passholders into the excellent Premium class (with Paris & Brusse

Renfe phone reservation & class issue

Today I arrived in Madrid with the plan to continue on an ALVIA train to Santiago de Compostela tomorrow. I had called Renfe to make a pre-reservation by phone yesterday, and today, at the station in Madrid, I wanted to pay for and pick up my reservation.  Unfortunately I ran into a problem. The Renfe officer at the counter could find my reservation alright (using the reservation number starting with L followed by numbers). But since the reservation was on Elige Confort (apparently equivalent to first class on this train) and I have a second class Interrail pass, he said there was no way I could use this reservation. There was apparently also no way for me to pay a surcharge to the ticket. This was possible for me on my Renfe-SNCF ride from. Marseille to Madrid (there were only first class tickets left but I was happy to pay extra to get on the train).My question is, if its really not possible to buy a first class ticket on a Renfe ALVIA train when there are no other tickets left and I

Failure to supply reservations

I purchased seat reservations on the Avignon Barcelona Service for 21 October. These were ordered and confirmed by Eurail who said paper tickets would be posted out. I paid £70. The tickets have never been sent. There is no phone number for Eurail. Repeated emails have been ignored. We are now left with no reservations for this train but have seats on trains just before and after. I am very disappointed with this service and especially the fact that Eurail just can’t be contacted.

France Transport National Strike - Oct. 17-23: Impact on travel

Does anybody have information regarding a Transport National Strike in France starting Oct. 17 and running through Oct. 23?We have only seen it on one website (https://worldinparis.com/transport-in-france-strike-news-tips-for-traveling-to-paris) and nowhere else.Would that impact trains and flights from France? We are scheduled to fly from Bordeaux for Barcelona on Oct. 17 on Ryanair.I looked at trains as a potential plan, but most of them are sold out according to Trainline - with one available also using a bus to go from Narbonne to Barcelona.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

I can't see my reservation in the overview page and how long does reservation refund take?

Hello everyone!I am writing to kindly ask you a question (anyone aswering will be much appreciated). I re-booked the seats as my prior order went wrong (apparently when I first tried there was a technical issue with Italian trains), this time I received the tickets in my email but I can't see the order in the Reservations Overview page in my Interrail account, is that normal?.Moreover, does anyone know when I’ll approximately receive the refund for the first order? I did write an e-mail to the custumer service, they read it  but never responded.Thanks in advance for you help and you kindness. Hope you have a nice day

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.
