Hello, I am trying to book seats through Interrail, but unfortunately the website is not working or keeps showing errors. My trip will be long with many transfers, so I wanted to book using Interrail, but it is not possible. Does anyone know what to do in this situation? I am a little anxious about it because I planned to visit three countries and now the Interrail reservations are not working. Thank you in advance for any help.

You dont have to book the reservations through the interrail website. There are also other places that sell the reservations. What routes are you having trouble with and when are you planning to travel? (maybe you are just to early?)

Thank you for your reply. I plan to leave Poland for Berlin, then Munich, from Munich to Italy, and then from Italy to Austria. I want to start my trip on April 12.

The mandatory Reservations for most italian IC and Highspeed trains can be best booked from ÖBB (Austrian railway) you just have to select Interrail under Discounts. (they dont charge a booking fee on top of the reservation cost).

Thank you very much for your help. I have one more question. Is it possible that if it says there are no available reservations, these seats will still become available before April 12?

Please mention route, date and departure time for any reservation you don't manage to book. There are multiple possible reasons why a reservation doesn't work and without details it's impossible to say much more.
