Hi there! Im pretty new to this and am trying to figure out why I’d get this message,

“Prices temporarily unavailable

Check back in a few hours to see prices and book this seat reservation.”

 

For reference, this in regards to a route on Aug 4, 10:55, Paris Est - Stuttgart. Part of a longer trip to Muenchen Hbf. 

French railways may be doing maintenance on their system. It's almost midnight around here.

Or maybe it was just temporary. I'm getting a price for that departure.

Haha! It seems I was just impatient again!

Thanks for looking!

 Hi, i am trying to book a train from Malmö to Zurich however this message pops up every day we try to book tickets.  Prices temporarily unavailable

Check back in a few hours to see prices and book this seat reservation.

 

The first train is a regionaltrain no reservation needed and not possible via Interrail. The question is which trains come after that :)

@Malachi Smith 

You are trying to make reservations for a journey with 8 changes, that is 9 trains. I guess that is far too much for the system to cope with. The recommendation is to only book a few legs at a time.

There are also better ways than the Interrail/Eurail website to make reservation. Please read more below. 

 

Here is some useful information from the experienced travellers in the Community regarding both reservations and activation of pass and travel days. 

 

Reservations 

The advice from the experienced travellers in the community is to use other ways to make reservations than the Interrail/Eurail website.  You can look at the guide in the link:

https://community.eurail.com/train-connections-reservations-47/how-to-get-reservations-105

If you, after having looked at the guide, have questions about how to make specific reservation, please give your travel details (departure date, time and route) preferably in a new topic, and you will get advice.

Please note that Interrail/Eurail charges an extra fee of 2 EUR per person and ticket in addition to the fee for the seat reservation.

 

Activation of pass

During the activation process, when you choose the start day of the validity of the pass, the first day of the validity period is automatically made a travel day, even if you don't enter a journey, the advice is therefore not to activate the pass before the first travel day as you only can deactivate the pass before 00.00 on the day the validity starts. If your travel plans change in the last moment you will loose travel days if you have activated the pass in advance.

It can be wise to make a test and activate the pass with a start date well in the future and then deactivate the pass immediately, just to see that everything works.

 

 Activation of travel day

The advice from the experienced travellers in the community is also never to activate a travel day, that is connect a journey to your pass, until just before boarding the train, otherwise you might loose a travel day if your travel plans change in a late stage  You can't delete a travel day in the past. A travel day can only be deleted until 23.59 CET the day before the travel day.
