What's the easiest way to find the lowest fares for high-speed trains?

How far ahead can I book my international train ticket?

The booking period can vary from one type of train to another. The main international trains at a glance:

Eurostar: booking usually possible 330 days (almost 11 months) before travel
Nightjet, ICE and other Deutsche Bahn trains: booking usually possible 180 days (almost 6 months) before travel.
Thalys, TGV INOUI, TGV Lyria, Nightjet and Trenitalia trains: booking usually possible 4 months before travel.
"Conventional" international trains (InterCity or regional trains): buying tickets without booking a seat, particularly to the Netherlands, Lille or Luxembourg, is possible 335 days (11 months) before travel. Unlike the other trains mentioned, there are no restrictions on the various fares on these "conventional" trains, so these are available up to the last minute (except for the Early Bird fare, that offers 25% to 40% discount ont the Intercity Netherlands, which must be purchased at least 7 days prior to travel).

Exceptions:

Thalys seasonal services: for Thalys Snow to the French Alps, booking possible from the end of the summer for the whole ski season. For Thalys Sun to the south of France, booking possible from the end of the winter for the whole summer season (date to be specified each year).
TGV early bird sale for travel in winter periods (Christmas and ski season) and summer periods (July and August). For these periods, the date of the early bird sale is to be specified each year.
Every year in mid-December, different European rail companies simultaneously amend their train services, with new timetables taking effect more or less throughout Europe. On certain rail networks (particularly in Germany), the new timetables for mid-December are only confirmed and published at some point during October. When this occurs, bookings for rail travel from mid-December onwards can also only be made after a given date in October.
In special circumstances (such as currently in times of Covid-19), carriers may be forced to adapt their transport plan more frequently. For this reason, booking periods may momentarily differ from the above rules.
