We are trying to book a train from Ljubljana to Como. 

We have booked a train from Ljubljana to Villach HBF on the 16th of July, separate to the interail pass, as we didn't want to waste a travel day. We are going to spend the evening out in Austria and get a night jet in the early morning. On the the 17th, we have booked a night jet from villach HBF to Brescia (1:34 - 6:32), using the interail card discount, and then we are going to reserve a train from Brescia to Como (via Milan). Here is our planned route on the OBB website. 

The only thing is that we cannot find the train from villach to Brescia (or villach to como) on the interail app to add to our pass, so we have the QR code to accompany our seat reservations on the trains (which we need right?).

Why can’t we find it on the app? 

Do I need to refund our reservation from villach to Brescia?

Just wait. The timetable in the app will probably have been updated by the time you travel. If not, you can always add it manually.

Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.

I know it is off-topic but let me suggest something else.

The itinerary you have right now is horrible with hours overnight in Villach and a tight connection in Brescia (you'll likely miss it). In addition you won't sleep much if at all.

I'd travel with the direct night train to Zurich: get a couchette or a sleeper (seats are awful). Next morning take any train towards Lugano, Chiasso and Como.

The direct EC to Como has a mandatory reservation fee for the short hop into Italy. Better to change in Chiasso.

For example it would look as follows:

- EN Ljubljana - Zürich HB 22:08 - 09:20 -> comfortable, stunning scenery when you wake up

- EC Zürich HB - Como S. Giovanni 10:33 - 13:08 -> scenic through the Alps and the longest rail tunnel in the world!
