Hi, I am traveling in Europe with the Interrail Global pass for the first time and I am confused about few things. For example seat reservation in TGV train is from 9 to 18 euros, when it is 9 euros and when it is 18? For example if i would like to take a TGV from San Sabastian to Bordeaux how much will I pay? And where can I reserve seat? All the systems just offers me full ticket and I need only seat reservation, thanks for your replies!

Hi!
I hope you bought your ticket through our affilate link [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux] to support our work, thank you. :)
Reservations for domestic TGV services in France cost either 9€ or 18€. The 9€ reservations have limited availability on each train and can be sold out well in advance. When the 9€ reservations are sold out, you can buy the more expensive 18€ reservations until the train is full.
Reservations can be made online via [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf/reservation[/ux]

Thanks a lot for your reply! Yeah, I used link you provided to buy inter rail :) anyway i would like to ask you one more thing, i am trying to reserve seat in TGV from Paris to Lille and even that i filled in second class - only tickets, which system provides me are for the first class (with note that these tickets, can be bought only with 1st class global pass - valid only for the comfort class shown on your Pass) and cost 18 euros, does it mean that tickets for second class are sold out? And we cannot buy any tickets? Thanks a lot for answering!

Then I can also look up your reservation issue - it would help to know the exact time and date you want to travel.

Ok, thanks just fill in the form :) maybe i just didn't understand the reservation system right, the green one is only for the 1st class and the purple one can be used for the second class? Sorry for so many questions, i dont want to buy wrong ticket :)

I wonder why it says 27€ in your screenshot? Do you want to get reservations for three people?
The system always suggests 1st class fares too - which makes sense if you buy normal tickets but not when travelling with Interrail.
The above reservation fare, coloured purple, is valid for 2nd class. It is currently 9€ per person.
