Hi again,

First of all thanks for the first answer, it really helped me!
The reservations for these trains are kind of confusing, and I should\'ve used the interrail reservation option when I could but now I\'m out of time for that, hence, I\'ve got to do the reservations myself ..

As for that, the https://www.acprail.com/train-reservations tip really worked out but now I\'ve got some issues and I can\'t figure out how to reserve those trains ..
The issues are :
PARIS EST (France) - MANNHEIM HBF (Germany)
LINZ HBF (Austria) - FRANKFURT(MAIN)SUED (Germany)
And obviously :
FRANKFURT(MAIN)HBF (Germany) -PARIS EST (France)

The above website allways pops out a error when trying there, and most of the tips I\'ve seen in other websites point out to buying the tickets on the station but I feel that is kinda risky ..

What should/can I do?


Thanks in advance,

Diogo

Hi Diogo!

Paris - Mannheim: You want to travel with the direct ICE/TGV? What is your destination? As far as I know online reservations are not available for this route. As an alternative you could travel Paris - Strasbourg, then go by regional train to Offenburg and continue from there to Karlsruhe - Mannheim or whereever you want to go. Online reservations for domestic TGV in France available at [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf/[/ux]

Linz - Frankfurt: Do you want to go with the nightjet? You can get reservations via phone from Austrian Railways ÖBB at +43 5 1717; collect tickets locally at a ticket machine.

Frankfurt - Paris: Same as Paris - Mannheim; anyway you could also get reservations for this route via phone from DB at +49 180 6 99 66 33 and collect reservations at a ticket machine in Germany. Also, since this will be probably your return trip it wont be a problem to buy it locally at a station during your trip a few days in advance, for instance in Austria.
