    Hi all
    I have a USIT 5 day travel ticket. I am going to 6 cities w/ one overnight (Budapest-Krakow). I have the rail planner app but should I be reserving my trains now? I have all my accom booked and need to be in particular cities at particular times so not a huge amount of flexiblity.
    It says that overnighters need to be reserved but it's not coming up herer
    https://eurailgroup.org/travellers-area/reservations/
    ANy ideas? Or should we just keep an eye on the schedules and make our way to the train stations a few hours before? The sleeper we can reserve the min we get to Budapest and that will be 3 days before we leave.
    WHat ye think?
    Thanks

    maybe, and this is a long shot, but maybe booking a train starting in Hungary from hungarian rail might (just a tiny chance) be the way to go.

    see here for info on how you might go about that

    It was advised to pre-book sleepers before you get there but I can't seem to do that via eurailgroup or the app. The provider you are talking about is fine or whatever but what I don't understand is how my interrail ticket is used to pay for it? So do I reserve and pay a reservation fee? I don't get it.

    Anyway your answer was ridiculous and I'm reporting it.
