I am getting nervous. I just finished up with my finals and next week I will be flying into Italy.
I am trying to use RailEurope.com to book my train tickets but every time I try from one city to another it tells me:
Sometimes it is necessary to break down longer journeys to find tickets. If you are not sure where to divide your itinerary, we recommend using our Interactive Rail Maps. If you have checked your travel dates and tried dividing your itinerary, other possible reasons that schedules were not found include:
1. No reservations are available on the requested route.
2. Train(s) are sold out.
Please don't tell me I am screwed on this. My destinations are
- 24 Feb - Pisa > Venice
- 27 Feb - Venice > Rome
- 03 Mar - Rome > Florence
I have tried going from one city to an adjacent city and no luck.
OK this is odd. I can see the trains only if I don't click "I have a Rail Pass."
What is going on?
OK, figured it out. Certain trains are not reservable, but are on a first-come-first-serve basis. Working around this, I can book.
A warning to folks,
having a rail pass does not include the surcharge for reserving seats on the train. I am sure that was spelled out somewhere, possible even here but I didn't read it.
