Hi there,

I will be making the following journeys in the summer, on the following trains, and am wondering if I have to purchase a reservation fee for any of them? I cannot find on the inter-rail ticket website where it says that you are exempt from purchasing a reservation fee because of your pass.

Paris Est - Mannheim (TGV 9553)
Mannheim - Munchen (ICE 595)
Munchen - Prague Hlavni Nadr (315 or EX 355)
Prague Hlavni Nadr - Wien Simmering (EC 77)
Wien Westbahnhof - Budapest-Keleti Pu (RJ 49)
Budapest Deli Pu - Zagreb Glavni Kolod (D 204)
Zagreb Glavni Kolod - Ljubljana (EC 210)
Ljubljana - Lesce Bled (EC 212)
Ljbuljana - Sezana (R 2618)

I rang the ************** reservation line, and they gave me various reservation fee prices for each of these journeys.

I would really appreciate your help!

Thanks

Hi.
Always funny (or even sad?!) to read that people ask an other company mentioned by you - and afterwards ask again here on railcc. Sorry to say that. :|
But there was a lot of users writing here who seemed not to be satisfied by this company.
Just to mention: we here at the railcc project really want to help the travellers, not like a lot of other companies do only to be a rail ticket outlet and then to leave the customers alone. And we do this work now for 16 years online. :)

First - we have a [b]list of train schedules made manually by the railccs[/b] - offering as well connections without extra fees - or at least showing which train requires which reservation and where to get it - if available online:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]

[b]Paris - Munich[/b] (I suppose Mannheim is only your stop to change the train - close by is Heidelberg - 15 minutes from Mannheim - which is worth to visit).
The TGV requires an extra reservation (available at the railcc shop): [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/tgv-alleo/172[/u]
Connections Paris - Munich: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/paris-to-munich[/u]

[b]Munich - Prague[/b]: free by direct train or via Nuremberg (worth a stop). Don't use the buses, as a reservation fee of EUR 10 ( [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/intercity-bus-prag/209[/u] ).
Connections: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/munich-to-prague[/u]

[b]Prague - Vienna[/b]: free - [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/prague-to-vienna[/u]

[b]Vienna - Budapest[/b]: free as long as you use the direct Railjet (RJ) trains. Trains with change in Hungary requires an extra reservation. Connections: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/vienna-to-budapest[/u]

[b]Budapest - Zagreb[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/budapest-to-zagreb[/u]

[b]Zagreb - Ljubljana[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/zagreb-to-ljubljana[/u]

[b]Ljubljana - Sezana[/b]: free local train.

And finally: if you like the railcc project and you want to support it, buy your official Interrail pass here at our partner. Thank you. :)
