Hi ! 

I have an issue with the AVE train from Madrid to Granada (train number 2076) on April 20th 2026. 

I have been trying for 4 days. 

Renfe website
interrail website

The interrail website says “ 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. “

However, this train is already alvailable on Renfe website (04/20/26 is 84 days from now) and with plenty seats available.

I haven’t found any information about limited seats for railpass on AVE trains. 

I didn’t manage to book Railpass seats directly on Renfe website and didn’t find any documentation on how to do it (contrary to what is possible with companies in other countries such as Austria). 

Thank your for your help.

No Idea, as i usually avoid the interrail website because of the additional 2€/reservation booking fee.

There is also this guide regarding seat reservations for Interrail which is pretty helpfull in finding options which dont add booking fees in addition to the cost of the reservation  https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htm
