Hello, my family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children) is planning to utilise the Nightjet service from Amsterdam to Basel in July 2025. We are understanding that these cannot be booked at moment, but had two queries we are asking the community for assistance 😀We are planning to purchase a Eurail Global 4 day Pass & reserve a 4-bed couchette; will the Eurail pass offer a discount on the total fare? Will we only need to pay the reservation fee?Also, because the travel is overnight, would this count as 1-day or 2-days against our pass? We are planning onward train travel in Switzerland immediately following our morning arrival into Basel.Thank you! 

I would like to travel from Barcelona to Alicante or Elche on December 24 using a Eurail Pass. I have the following questions: For trains like the Eurostar, I was able to check seat availability on the Eurail website even without purchasing the pass. However, for the route in Spain mentioned above, it seems like I can only make a reservation after obtaining the pass. If I purchase the pass but there are no available seats, the pass would be useless. Therefore, I would like to check seat availability in advance. What is the best way to do this?

HiI have planned a trip from Bologna to Hamburg and need to change 3 trains.For the first two trains it is mandatory to reserve the seat, for the last one it is optional.My question is: for the last train without seat reservation, is the QR code shown in the app enough to board the train? Or do I have to confirm my ticket somehow?Thank you.Marco

Hello! I’m trying to figure out the travel day scenario and how it works. When I do the planner it says I should need 4 days, but then takes me to purchase 5 days. Right now we are looking at doing the following 4 trips. Rome → Bologna (Thursday mid day)Bologna → Rome (Friday morning)Rome → Florence (Monday morning) Florence → Venice (Wednesday morning) Based on this I assume I just need a 4 travel day in one month. But it isn’t helping me enough to explain it properly.  Additionally, is it better to go pass vs individual. Our travel friends did first class pass. But we have an extra day of travel over them.  thank you!!

Does anyone know the solution?

Hello! Looking for some advice/help. Me and my partner are planning on traveling from tirano to Milan on Tuesday 7th January. On Google maps and eurorail planner it doesn't seem to show this as an option (in January but it does show for December) and instead routes back over the Alps and via the mainline railway.On the Italian train websites it shows services available. Just wanted to check are these services running in January?  

Hi all, my family and I are planning a two-week trip covering five countries, starting December 16th. However, I am unable to generate tickets through the Eurail app for our saved trips. I have already added my global passes and generated a ticket for the Bernina Express. Since then, the yellow sliding switch is not appearing for any other trains. I have reserved seats, but cannot generate tickets. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm planning my Interrail trip and I have a train from Zermatt to Paris with 3 connections:Zermatt to Visp Visp to Lausanne Lausanne to ParisThe only part of the trip that allows me to make a seat reservation is the third part (Lausanne to Paris), and I'm a bit worried that I might not be able to take the train due to full capacity on the previous two connections, which don't allow seat bookings.

I have Eurail Global Pass and have booked reservations for Paris CDG to Amsterdam direct on Eurostar.  Where do we get on the train at Paris CDG ?  Can anyone help that has made this trip ?

Hello. My husband and I have 1 pass each. I’ve loaded them both into the app and created 1 trip and a duplicate for him on my device and logged into my account. When I log into the same account on his device I can’t see the same details. Should I, or do I have to load everything (passes, trips etc) seperately on both devices? If yes, if I change a trip on my device will that replicate to the other device?Thanks

We plan to travel from Salzburg to Bologna on a Railjet with transfer in Innsbruck using a first class eurail pass.  The seat reservation fee on the obb website is 3 euro.  But when I put the seat reservation into my shopping basket the 15 euro supplement that is supposed to be paid is not added to the seat reservation fee.  I have selected the eurail pass discount for my obb profile.  The eurailpass website says that seat reservations made on obb site will automatically include the supplement.  So I am puzzled as to what we should do.Thank you!

(I have the Eurail Global Pass) I’m trying to book the PE 2937 LUZERN-INTERLAKEN EXPRESS at 06:06 on December 22, but the seat reservations details are unavailable. If I add this to my trips without booking seat reservations, will I still be able to board the train. Or do I need to book the seat reservations on the Luzern website, or buy the whole ticket?

April/May we will travel through Europe. One of the routes we are planning to do is Vilnius to Krakow. I’m figuring out how to book a seat reservation for this train. (for April 25 – connection: Depart 12.10 Vilnius (IC 143), 1 transfer in Mockova Arrival 23.39 in Krakow) We do have a 2 month pass so remarks about taking a bus instead are not very relevant.(although for Talinn-Riga and Riga-Vilnius we will take the bus) There is a daily connection leaving 12.10 and arriving 23.37 with 1 change in Mockava (LT). See seat61 whichs is trusthworthy and valuable info. https://www.seat61.com/trains-and-routes/warsaw-to-vilnius-by-train.htm He also indicates tickets can be booked 30 days in advance. I checked the ltglink website and this is correct. (I found out when booking online a ticket for this train you cannot choose Interrail as a discount so I think a seat reservation through the Lithuanian website isn’t possible) To check how to book I used several dates in the oncoming 4 weeks so I k
