Title: BUDAPEST-> BELGRADE, online reservation
Post by: Franciscaamm on August 06, 2015, 11:40:54 am
Hi!
I also to travel by night from Budapest - Belgrade on the 21st of August.
I have the interrail global pass so I just want to reserve the ticket, but on the website MAV it doesn't let me and I only have the option of buying the he all ticket. What can I do?
Thank you!

Unfortunately Hungarian Railways (MAV) doesn't sell only seat/bed reservations via MAV website, so you can not purchase it separately. Although in case you have a possibility to visit ticket counter with EPA, for instance in one of the agencies selling German Railways (DB) rail tickets, then you should be able to purchase paper form couchette/sleeper reservation for Budapest-Belgrade train there (obviously with some agency's commission). If not then just buy your reservation once you already in Hungary. Budapest to Belgrade route isn't very popular, so it's hardly a situation when you must purchase reservations far in advance. Also would like to remind you that for traveling in seating carriages reservation isn't obligatory, so you can just board the train with your interrail pass
