Hello everyone,
First time posting in this great forum. We are a couple from Canada and we are planning out trip to Europe for the end of june to the middle of july and just want to make sure I'm able to get us a double cabin in the Thello night train. Just out of curiosity I'm checking the Eurail site 90 days out from now and there isnt any first class tickets available. Does that mean that they are sold out already or will they be posted and made available until a later date?

Don't use the Eurail site. If you can handle French, use the Thello site. Or book in English on the Trenitalia site. I just checked the Thello site for 22 April and found tickets available for accommodations in all categories: bunks in six- and four-person couchettes; and beds in three-, two-, and one-person sleepers.

Thanks Tim,
I looked both sites and Trenitalia had the additional Go - travel option which is about 50 Euros cheaper than the regular first class double cabin fare. Any experience purchasing a ticketless option for travel on this or other trains? You guys are welcome to share any good and not so good experiences with this ticketless option (where you only show your confirmation number to the train employee once you are on board).
