SNCF ticket, FlixBus ticket and all our partner companies' sales opening dates!

Knowing when ticket sales open for your transport companies is a real advantage in your ticket search. Indeed, you will then be able to know when to book earliest and even from when to compare transport offers! For this purpose, we propose to give you in general and by company, the sales opening calendar! Thus, you will know when to book an SNCF ticket, a Flixbus ticket or a train and bus ticket from any other company!

This page describes the usual timeframes for each company. For the precise dates of major SNCF openings (Christmas, winter, spring, summer), see our dedicated page: SNCF ticket sales opening, whose calendar is updated automatically.

Let's discover right away when your train ticket sales open.

At SNCF, the information about ticket sales opening is very simple. Indeed, to allow you to travel simply and also to simplify your SNCF ticket reservation, their offers are available on their site, but also on Tictactrip from 4 months in advance. If you plan to travel on September 1st next, you will be able to book your ticket from the beginning of May!
Note that tickets for Christmas, summer vacation and winter vacation periods are excluded. For these high-demand periods, SNCF practices an "exceptional sales opening": several months of routes are put on sale all at once, on a date and time announced in advance. You will find these dates, carrier by carrier, on our SNCF sales opening page. Finally, when it comes to opening SNCF ticket sales, we are referring to:

• OuiGo tickets, which are generally bookable 8 months in advance.

• InOui tickets.

• Intercités and TER tickets.

• TGV Max tickets.

To book your Eurostar ticket, you can plan 6 months in advance! This gives you time to organize your stay and your trip peacefully!
However, be aware that Eurostar tickets are non-refundable. Be sure of your trip before booking them! Also, if your Eurostar route involves other SNCF trains for example for a transport combination, we recommend you book everything at once on Tictactrip. Also, you will have to wait for the SNCF tickets to open for sale.

Since the merger of Thalys with Eurostar (October 1st, 2023), the Paris-Brussels-Amsterdam-Cologne routes are sold under the Eurostar brand. Good news: tickets are now bookable up to 10 to 11 months in advance, much earlier than before. These dates may vary slightly during track work, but this gives you time to find the best prices!

For the Lyria company, you will be able to book your future transport tickets from 4 months in advance. Also, in the context of track work or schedule changes (following a crisis like the coronavirus for example) the sales opening dates may be changed but this remains rare.
To know, the best tickets in terms of travel time and prices for popular routes are generally sold within two weeks of opening for sale. Don't wait and book as soon as possible!

The ticket offers from the Spanish railway company RENFE are, most of the time, accessible and bookable 4 months in advance, as is the case with SNCF. You will therefore have time to compare and book your trip to Spain!

As for the Italian railway company Trenitalia, Trenitalia train tickets are available for purchase on different dates depending on:

• If it is a domestic journey: in which case reservations are possible 3 months in advance. These dates may occasionally vary slightly, depending on the company... in any case, we will keep you informed in our newsletter!

• If it is an international journey: in this case, Trenitalia tickets are bookable 4 months in advance!

The German railway company is true to the image of the country, very meticulous and thorough. Deutsche Bahn tickets are available for purchase 6 months in advance! Also, not all Deutsche Bahn offers require a reservation, so you can buy your German train tickets right up to the last minute without any problem! Also, we sell on our website Deutsche Bahn X SNCF tickets as well, these are also bookable 6 months in advance, for your maximum convenience!

Yes indeed, there is also a sales opening calendar for your favorite bus companies! Discover them without further delay.

At Flixbus, there is no precise information regarding the opening of sales for their Flixbus tickets. However, as a general rule, we can say that their journey offers appear on our website between 4 and 6 months in advance. As we know, it's quite a broad range but it appears that at Flixbus they do things as they please... You just have to search for a journey for the dates you want on our website and if there are no results, it's simply because these offers are not yet open!

Also, for the sale of BlaBlaBus bus tickets, we find the same problem as with Flixbus. The opening dates for offers are not fixed and can sometimes vary between 2 and 4 months in advance. To get the answer, you just need to search for tickets on our site again. If there are no results, it's because the offers are not yet open and BlaBlaBus tickets will be available soon. For now, you have to wait! After all, given the price of the tickets we offer you, it's worth waiting, right?

In any case, we hope we've helped you as much as possible and that you now understand why no results are displayed at the moment when you search for a route! You just need to be patient a little longer!
