Get ready to travel

Can anyone signpost me to instructions on how to use the Rail Europe website or app to make reservations with an Interrail Pass? I’ve tried going through each step of the booking process and cannot see where to enter Interrail pass? Thanks 

Boa tarde!Gostaria de saber como identifico o ticket para embarcar em percursos dentro da  cidade que estou, por exemplo.Estação Paris gare - Choisy Le RóiPreciso fazer várias vezes esse percurso, além de precisar ir para os pontos turísticos de Paris.Eu não sei onde pego aquele QR Code para andar nos trens, se não há reserva paga. Outra questão é em relação aos dias que seleciono para usar os ticket, por exemplo Eu comprei o passe para 10 dias durante 2 meses. Então só posso usar os trens no dia que eu registrar um dos 10 dias?

Hi, me and my partner have ordered our passes, however we didn’t add a pass for our daughter 2years old as it said she was obviously free. We are now trying to do seat reservations and can see we should have added a free Eurail child pass when paying?? Is there anyway to add this on now? Thanks so much. lia 

I purchased 3 Flexi German mobile rail passes 7 days within 1 month on December 9th 2023. I plan to travel starting on March 30th 2024. But on my order confirmation and app shows “Activate this pass by February 1 2024”. I tried to make seat reservation for March 30th, the web page shows my pass is not valid on this date. I am not able to travel with theses passes if the condition is like this. I did not recall I need to enter start and end sate during booking process. The website shows the pass can be used within 11 months from purchased date. Submitted support request but have not heard from the customer service. Anyone knows why this happens? Is there any way I can change this? The passes haven’t being activated yet. Thanks for helping!

Hi everyone, I’m a newbie here, tried to make a seat reservation for our family trip in June; 1/6/24 from Paris to Basel, many options showing “Pass Invalid”, advising me to either book another train or purchase a separate ticket; isn’t Eurail Global Pass including TGV/Lyria with a seat reservation fee?? Or perhaps it is still too early to reserve a seat for TGV, I saw many won’t available until 90 days or 60 days before the travel date, only Eurostar allows reservations 6 months in advance, which I was able to complete it without problems last night. Thanks so much

My wife and I have purchased the Eurail Global Flexi First class pass. And because of the excellent guidance on this forum, I was able to make my reservations on the OBB app, except for two connections, which I was told I need to wait until 60 days before departure to make the reservations (per the agent when I called SBB). So, when the due date arrived (-60 days), I tried to make the reservations and am failing to do so. I am wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Here are the two journeys I am trying to make:Saturday, 23rd March 2024 morning: Zurich HB to Zermatt. The connection is thru Visp and the first train is an IC train and per the SBB agent, I can make reservations on IC trains, but not on Regional Trains. But, when I try the first segment (InterCity 1304 @7:16AM), and select “Seat Reservation Only”, the SBB app says “Unfortunately, we cannot offer you a reservation for this connection”. I called SBB and the agent was confused as he was seeing the same at his end. He s

Hi allWe are looking at buying 4 Interrail passes to travel in the summer as a family.I have some questions in regards to reservations:How do we best make them on trains to ensure we are sat together?  In particular we are looking at a couple of sleeper trains and need to book 2 x double sleepers so obviously need to be together as two pairs for that? In order to create a ticket on the app do we have to have a reservation linked to it somehow or can we just add the journeys/trips and do the reservation separately and show that in conjunction with the QR code the app generates?Thank you

Hello,I’m planning to visit Austria and Germany for the first time this April and have booked a cross-border ticket from Salzburg to Munich on April 21, but compared to another domestic ticket I booked with the same company it looks quite different. On the first page, the ticket only shows origin and destination without further details and the spelling of the names of the cities seem different than the second page which is the seat reservation confirmation page. Is this normal for this kind of ticket? I have to use them for VISA application from where I’m from, so It kind of worries me.

I am a first time Eurail rider. I am looking to go from Paris to Zurich in mid to late June and nothing is available. Is there some kind of event or shutdown going on during this period? The train scheduler wants to send me north to Brussels then across to Germany and down to Zurich, it is like an extra 4 hours.
