Hi all..

next December will be my first time in Europe.

i bought eurail pass , but i cant book the reservation

it is said no trains found.

usually how many days/weeks before the schedule come out?

because i checked a couple earlier the schedule is available

 

Hi @StanLeeG33 

Try to reserve seats on oebb.at, you will pay only 3 € for direct trains.


On the 15th december, the annual timetable change happens Europe wide. Not every planner seems to be updated yet.

Book indeed at ÖBB if you only travel with one train, choose www.bahn.com if your journey includes more than one train with (optional) seat reservations.


hi @Danhiel and @BrendanDB 

thanks for the info.

actually I bought globalpass, so my 1st travel plan is from Frankfurt to Munich.


The best place to get reservations is rarely through Eurail.

This link has a comprehensive guide for each country. https://www.seat61.com/how-to-use-a-eurail-pass.htm#how-to-make-reservations


Hi @Al_G ,

thanks for your reply.

 

so correct if i am wrong.

 

I have bought eurailpass.

since i cant find  seat reservation here in eurail website,

 

so i need to book seat direct from DB website, with Seat only

Am I Right?

 

Thanks.


Yes that's right. They are even cheaper than through Eurail and you get access to a seat map. :)

Alternatively ÖBB is cheaper at 3€ but the seat is assigned automatically.


Hi All,

I am trying book reservation (with my eurail globalpass) via eurail.

book 2nd class reservation for 2 adults + 1 kid

  1. via eurail total price USD 26.16
  1. DBNavigator EUR 10.40 (more or less USD 11.07)

 

it is quite big difference for the price.

Did I compare the same thing ?

any advise?

 

Thanks.


Yes you're comparing the same thing. Eurail is always more expensive, in some cases much more expensive. In Germany, Eurail charges €8 per person and train, while DB charges €5.20 per person and journey (also multiple trains), and accompanying children are free of charge.

On tickets.oebb.at, the same reservation would be €9 (no seat selection though).
