Hi all, hoping someone local or with SNCF experience can help.

I am travelling Paris to Nice on Saturday 19 September and there are still no trains showing on SNCF Connect for that date at all. I have set up the alert on the site but it just sits there with no timeline or any guarantee that trains will actually be added. I can see trains are available on all days before and after 19th but I have non-refundable hotel bookings and tours due to which I'm unable to move the dates.

I have been tracking this daily for the last two weeks with no change. I did find an older post where someone had the same issue and the trains eventually showed up around 3 months before their trip. The problem is I am now only about 2 months out, so I am not sure the same pattern will hold for me, and if I keep waiting the airfares will likely climb.

Right now the flight is more than double the price of the train, so I would much rather take the train if it is going to appear.

For those who know this route or SNCF release patterns: is it worth holding out a bit longer for the trains to be released, or should I just cut my losses and book the flight now before it gets even more expensive? Is a Saturday track maintenance thing likely to mean no trains at all that day, or do they usually get added late?

Any insight appreciated. Thanks!
