Hi first time using a Global Pass. I have not activated pass yet as it is too early for trip but I have made multiple seat reservations for planned trips. Do I need to connect these seat reservations to my Global Pass after activation or do I just bring my printed out seat reservations with me and use both mobile pass and printed seat reservations? Very confused at this point, any help appreciated!!Rich

Good Morning,I have a Global Eurail ticket that is still valid. However, can I use it for local trains from Farnborough to Waterloo (Within England) Many Thanks!!

We want to make two separate trips on our 15 days-two months pass. The first trip will allow us an outbound and inbound journey from Shrewsbury. My question is - on the second trip I understand  Shrewsbury-St Pancras tickets won’t be included in the pass, but can we book Eurostar again on the pass: i.e. is St Pancras our point of departure for Europe?

Dear all: please help!We bought Interrail Passes First Class, and booked amongst other the following trains:Wednesday 17 April:     07.03 - Basel SBB > Lugano (IC 663)Wednesday 17 April:     11.02 - Lugano > Milano Centrale (RE 25517)Wednesday 24 April:     17.20 - Milano Centrale > Brig (EC 36)Wednesday 24 April:     19.48 - Brig > Basel (IC 986)But we can not buy/book our seat reservations for these 4 tickets.We have tried everything, but it simply does not work.

hello,My understanding is 1st class eurail passes translate to standard premier on eurostar. 1st class was available for our trip and we paid the 1st class reservation rate on SNBC, but I see the tickets are in carriage 14 and that is a standard carriage. If anyone has insight on why that is, I would appreciate it. Thanks,Allie

I am trying to book a seat reservation for a train from Zagreb Glavni Kol to Ljubljana on May 16 from 19:40 to 21:47. When I go to the eurail website to book the seat reservation, it says N/A for price and underneath it says "facilities unavailable". I do not know if that means that the train is fully booked, or if it just means that I need to book the seat reservation at the train station in person. Any help is appreciated.

I bought a seniors Eurail pass and now realise I can’t use the pass to book the Eurostar to London from Paris as they don’t have a Seniors fare. What do I do? Do I get a refund on the pass and buy an Adult pass or somehow pay the difference in the fares on the Eurostar. I wish I had known I couldn’t travel in and out of London on the Seniors pass before I bought it!

Finally returning back to Barcelona.If our holidays are 14 days but not all the days we will travel (eg in London 3 nights without using), which kind of pass should I book?

Ich kann meine sitzplatzreservierung nicht finden?

Hi, what does "the country indicated on your passport or legal equivalent" mean? Does it mean the country that issued the ID or the country where the ID says you live?So I live in France and I'm a French citizen, and I wanted to buy a Global Pass. Now what I should normally do is put France as my country of residence, right?But the problem is, because I was living in Switzerland two years ago when I had to renew my ID card, the address field on my French ID card says I live in Switzerland, and I can't change that because they won’t renew your card every time you change your address.And because I still have a lot of friends in Switzerland, I definitely intend to travel there a lot. So what will happen? What can I take with me to prove that I now live in France, should a Swiss inspector ask me about the address field on my ID card?Thanks for your help.

Hi, I’d really appreciate any advice.  I am wanting tobook a trip as a surprise for my husband in April 2025  The plan is to fly into Milan, get a train from Milan to Brig, then the Glacier from Brig to Chur, the Bernini from Chur to Tirano, and then a train from Tirano to Milan  with an over night stop off around Lake Como along  the way.  There will also be an overnight in Brig and Tirano. Can I buy an 5 day Global Interrail to cover all the trips 1st class? (Appreciate till need to pay reservation for Bernini and Glacier).  I’m also concerned about availability - I can book now through a rail holiday company who will bespoke the trip and reserve all seats now but will charge handsomely for it and I feel I can save £700 doing it myself but want to make sure I’m doing it all properly!! There will be 2 adults and one child travelling so I think child age 7 will be free. many thanks for your time!

confused if we should get global 10 day pass if we also want first class travel

How can I rectify the situation?Thank you.

HiWith the help of fellow Eurail community members, I was able to purchase seat reservation for May 11 CDG to Strasbourg. I couldn’t find Eurail France pass 2nd class, so I chose Eurail Global Pass 2nd class and bought 3 seat reservations.Help Rail Europe replied with the following: Please note that you have a single country pass, due to which you won't be able to book the seat reservation on our website, as we do not have the option to add a single country pass currently on our website.  Is it true that I can’t purchase seat reservation from Rail Europe with my Eurail France pass 2nd class?Does anyone know how refund works with Rail Europe? [I’ve since found the cancellation option inside the app and have requested that.]Please help!Thank you
