HELP! I am trying to book an overnight double sleeper (1st class) for 2 people from Venice to Paris on Sept 30. Have tried both www.trenitalia.com and www.italiarail.com and neither will let me purchase the tickets. Both take me up to the point where I select the type of accomodations I want, but then give me an error message I can%26#39;t decipher. Can anyone help? (I am only worried if it is possibly sold out so that I can make alternate plans) Thank you!!

Before you book an overnight train trip, please read this:
tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g187147-i14-k79172…
Based on this, I would recomment alternate plans...It%26#39;s up to you though...
Did you check Ryanair.com for cheap airfares?
Hope this helps...

G Explorer. Please! Incidents happen when you travel and they also happen when you stay home. I would not disregard traveling by train just because of one unfortunate incident. Neither would I stop flying because there has been a plane crash.
Re. booking a sleeper try again with the official train company or TALK TO A TRAVEL AGENT.

La_Photographe...Just for clarification...I meant to say be careful travelling by train OVERNIGHT... I just thought AMucci should know about the travel warnings discussed in this forum. Don%26#39;t mean to discourage folks about taking trains overall...

don%26#39;t know about booking but you if you have the extra day you might consider taking a regular day train. The views thru the alps are stunning! We did the same thing a few years ago and it was rather nice to have a %26quot;forced%26quot; day of rest. :)

G_Explorer, I think that la_photographe does have a point.
If you can suggest that the OP take a plane because of a robbery reported on a Tripadvisor thread, then I should be also to suggest that they walk based on www.planecrashinfo.com
Gazillions of people take the overnight train safely to Italy and in my experience is a LOT better than Ryanair which takes 12 hours from door-to-door.
