Hi - we need to book the sleeper from Krakow to Wien on 22/2/23 - we are now inside the booking window but cannot seem to buy a reservation anywhere 🙁 Help!

@pghumphries On OBB you should not use the “seat only” option but select a normal ticket and then add Interrail/Eurail Global pass as discount for all passengers. There are seat and sleeper reservations available from Krakow to Wien on the 22nd of February.

Hi, I think it is to early. Polish railways release tickets very late. 

You could try to reserve via Austrian railways ÖBB, via tickets.oebb.at and the seat only option.

Please note that I don't work for Interrail/Eurail and that I don't reply to personal messages.

For day trains Austria-Poland (Intercity/Eurocity) both ways are possible. Seat only or one way with interrail as discount. 

For night trains only one way with interrail as discount.

 

ÖBB can also sell reservations for trips IN Poland (but they cost more that via PKP IC).
