Hello
I bought a global Pass interrail for Europ and i'm trying to book a reservation (sitting tickets and especially a sleeper cabin from Dimitrovgrad to Istanbul)
I'm travelling on May 7th 2025. Unfortunately the line with Bosphor express train isn't open (start in June),
Normally it's possible to book online 2 months in advance, i tried different carriers as OBB and CFR Calatori which mention that reservation on line is possible now, but in fact not !
I don't want waiting a purchase directly in Bucuresti station, i would like to be certain to have a place in the train (sleeper cabin).
Could you help please and give me all precious advices you can provide.
Many thanks !

First its not smart to buy an Interrail/Eurailpass for Eastern Europe since Tickets are very cheap there anyways . Second : I can understand that you want to be sure but unfortunately in that part of the World its already hard to get any Ticket online , if you wouldve not bought an Interrailpass , you could buy a ticket via an 3rd party agency . But to buy a reservation on Interrail you to show your Pass in person at the counter in Dimitrovgrad . Btw. theres only couchette car as a through car all the to Istanbul .
