Not correct for Trenitalia. You can book the fast trains 120 days in advance. Summer schedules aren'
I know that there are a variety of forum topics over the years that have touched upon some of my enquiries about train travel but I have been unable to get direct answers to the following questions and would thus appreciate any information or clarification that can be provided.
Just to put my questions in some perspective my wife and I are planning to fly to Paris in mid-September where we are booked for 9 days. This will be our 2nd visit to Paris and during our stay there we plan to take the Eurostar to London, leaving early on one day, staying overnight in London and returning to Paris on the last train the following day. We will then spend a couple pictures of il burchiello hotel in venice mestre of days in Paris and will then take the train from Paris to Rome via Milan. This is our 2nd visit to Rome as well and after 5 days we plan to return via train to Paris. Both trips (Paris-Rome and return will be made on the day train) and yes, we do enjoy train travel.
I have tried to get information from Rail Europe on a few occasions and they have been less than cooperative on a number of fronts. I did receive an e-mail from them after sending them a list of questions but their response didn't even address my questions. Also I am frustrated with other rail sites defaulting to Rail Europe.
3. I have gone on a number of sites and as a result I believe that I am correct that the earliest I can book TGV and Trenitalia is 90 days before the travel date(s) and Eurostar (Paris-London) 120 days prior to travel. Feel free to make any corrections to this info.
I clearer into might bring in more responses, but generally yes, you're better off dealing directly with the rail lines then through a broker. Long distance trains require reservations and you should be able to select your seats. But now that Renfe (Spain) is offering deeply discounted seats on long distance trains, ones in which you do not get to select your seat, may bring about changes elsewhere.
RailEurope controls all North American travel agency pictures of il burchiello hotel in venice mestre access to the European rail computer systems. They often mark up ticket prices. They don't ALWAYS mark them up as people here have erroneously told others; they charge shipping fees, etc.
In all likelihood, you will pay RailEurope more than you'd pay the national rail companies. For French trains you want to use www.voyages-sncf.com or www.tgv-europe.com . For the former, don't switch to English; for the latter choose Antartica on the first screen - that will keep you from being switched over to Rail Europe.
For Paris/Rome, pictures of il burchiello hotel in venice mestre you need to use the French rail website (you must use the departing pictures of il burchiello hotel in venice mestre country) and you might have to buy Paris/Milan and then purchase Milan/Rome on Trenitlia. If you are booking overnight, take a look at Thello.
Not correct for Trenitalia. You can book the fast trains 120 days in advance. Summer schedules aren't loaded yet and might not be until the first week of June. Tickets purchased on Trenitalia for the faster pictures of il burchiello hotel in venice mestre trains include your seat. You can select the exact seat, but the system default to automatic assignment. You must change it to select pictures of il burchiello hotel in venice mestre seat. If you click a different train or class it will default back to auto so you must click it again.
If I understand your timeline correctly, you have 14 days total for this trip and you want to spend two entire days on trains between Paris and Rome? Makes no sense to waste that much of your trip on transport.
