I have an Italy trip planned with my family (husband and 6 year old) spanning 10 days from 25th December to 5th January. While trying to book high speed trains from Rome to Florence (29th Dec), Florence to Venice (1st Jan) and Venice to Milan (3rd Jan) on Trenitalia, the tickets fares seems to be exorbitant compared to general rates for a family of 3 on this route. In the case of Venice to Milan, the direct trains aren't listed for after 12th December yet. For most of the routes, the Frecciafamily fares is last listed for 15th December and do not show up for my travel dates yet.

Is it just that I am looking up tickets far too ahead of time or are these fares likely to update?

Hello! I'm trying to reserve a seat for the Riga-Vilnius connection through the LTG Link app but it doesn't let me ad my paper Interrail number, it says to add the mobile one. Is there another way of reserving the seat? Maybe at the station?

Is the reservation compulsory for that route? I've read that there is no compulsory reservation for the Vilnius-Mockava route son I'm a bit confused.

Thanks!!
