Hi, first time using our Eurail global pass. We want to go from Barcelona to Brussels. Looks like most routes go through Paris so I have even tried breaking it up but everything says “prices unavailable” or “not available on Eurail.com”. How do I reserve these seats? We are needing them for this coming Tuesday!  I’d also like to add I have also gone to the train station we will be leaving from and they also won’t book us a ticket from there to Paris. Extremely frustrating  Someone please help 

Hi,I had come up with the idea of doing a nice trip with my brother from Budapest to Helsinki, stopping in a lot of countries we have never been to. However, deepening my research in this page, I have come to understand that:there is pretty much no train from Warsaw to Helsinki, it would all be buses + ferry some countries are really pass-friendly but others are not  Our desired travel dates are from 1st to 15th Aug.  Would you be able to tell me what itinerary could I do that is train-friendly and that does not involve Germany / Italy or anything West of that, since we have visited all those countries?  I know the question is very open ended, but truly any tips will help. Have spent hours soaking info on this forum, but most of the questions I find are for Western Europe.  Thanks! 

Is  Eurail Global pass valid in OUIGO TRAIN BARCELONA - Madrid. ?

Hi all,I will be in Rome tomorrow for a couple of days and starting my rail journey through Europe. I have just activated my pass and my wife’s on my phone, is that ok or should I have activated her pass on her phone, if so how do I move it to her phone.- Next question is I have I trip saved in “My Trip” tab do I slide the Qr over now for all trips and start adding the passes or on the day of travel.- I also have read that maybe I should screen shot the QR and info for each train journey as the app is sometimes glitching?thanks 

I bought 4 days Eurail pass, and I haven’t used it yet. I added my possible trips on Rail Planner app as follows since I haven’t decided what time I will leave Strasbourg, either 08:21(red) or 08:51 (blue), and what time I will leave Colmar, either at 13:53 or 15:53. My question is this:1. Can I choose one of the times (between red and blue) right before the train time? If I choose red time slot, then what happens to the blue time slot? All those possible trips I added is on the same day.2. How far ahead should I add my trip on the Rail Planner app. Is it okay to add my trip just before the train time? (For instance, even like 5 minutes ahead is okay?3. What should I do with the yellow hightlighted area? If I activate one of those things, and do not use the others, what happens?4. I haven’t used Eurail pass before. So I don’t exactly know how to use it. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance. 

Hello - I am looking to travel from Copenhagen Airport into Sweden.  From what I see on the Eurail website it looks like this is covered by my pass.  But in the mobile app there is no option to select the airport station when adding a trip.  I only see the city station.  How do I add this trip?  Thanks!

Does the ÖBB Reservierungsrabatt 50% discount on reservations work for Eurail passes?Does the discount work on night trains? or just the seat reservation component, not the couchette/sleeper feeDoes it work on Italian trains that can be booked on OBB website? ÖBB Reservierungsrabatt-50 % discount on seat reservations on long-distance trains. 

Urgent need reqiuredHi, I bought 5 Eurail passes for my family including kiss and elderly. I would like to go to Rotterdam on 28th July from London. When I go to Planner to search all the available trains, I found that there are two trains at 6:16 and 8:16, no seat reservations are required. Does it mean that I can just get on the train? How about the seats? Does it mean no specifics seats or all are free seats? Then I found that there are other available trains in the afternoon which charges 56 pounds for each  seat reservation. When I click to book the seats,  it says all the trains are fully booked. Can anyone give me some advice as I'm not familiar with the booking system? I'm nervous that I have a trip with kiss and elderly.

Hi,My friend purchased both mine and his interrail passes. I have logged in to mine on the app. I have created a trip and activated my pass. He has booked a few train reservations for both of us. He has since shared his trip which has the travel reservations on. I have also since found out that once I've activated my pass I can't change what trip it applies to so I can't change my pass to be on the shared trip. Will this be ok? He has screenshots of the tickets that he can print out and give to me. I wanted to check so I don't arrive and get turned away!Any help would me much appreciated.Many thanks

Hello all! I am writing With regard to an upcoming trip I have scheduled in late August. I recently purchased the Eurail 10 days of travel and have been planning my trip. I searched destinations using the planner to which I added to my trip folder. Following this I made them each one of the travel days and flicked the banner to use one of my purchased days. When I click into my pass I see the days for which I am scheduled and notice that each come with a QR code to show for the ticket.  My question is when I click on the QR code, I see under the “Journey” headline that it says for each that “Seat Reservations are Required.” I am having trouble figuring this aspect out. Do I need to do an additional step to secure my seat or is having added these to my trip as active accounts enough? I will be traveling in the later part of August and cannot wait. Please let me know at your earliest connivence!

Hi, We are travelling in July & August. We have a days travel in July and 5 days in August, does that mean I need to book 6 days in one month of 6 days in two months?

Hello!

I’m planning to travel from Milan to Zermatt on September 17 to be there for an early morning reservation on The Glacier Express on the 18th. I have a Global Eurail pass and cannot make seat reservations in spite of trying many of the suggestions made. Not sure if Is this a problem I should be concerned about? Or just system glitches. I find the process quite confusing and cumbersome. My schedule is flexible so if necessary could leave Milan a couple of days earlier. any guidance much appreciated.

Moin,wenn ich aufgrund der DB meinen Anschlusszug, der nach Frankreich führt verpasse, kann ich einfach den nächsten nehmen? Weil ich hab für den Anschlusszug die Sitzplatzreservierung gekauft gehabt. Oder muss ich dann erneut Sitzplätze kaufen? wenn ja, krieg ich das wenigstens erstattet?    

Hello everyone, I realized there are many similar threads regarding the inbound/outbound topic, but none really exactly answering my question. My country of residence is Switzerland. If I want to take a night train going from Dresden (Germany) to Zurich (Switzerland), and Zurich being the final destination (no further connections on the arrival day), does that still count as an inbound journey? Or am I able to save my outbound/inbound day for another trip? (Also when I try to book this trip on the nightjet or oebb website, it always gives me a “Reservation error (NJ-Code: NJ-02, TS-Code: WBS08093...)” before the payment page! I refreshed it over two days and there are still seats available. Not sure why but I will probably have to call them, is that correct? :( ) Thank you all in advance!

Can I go to Monaco with the Germany- France pass?

I learned the hard way how to increase chances for 2 seats together on Eurostar trains. However, before learning how to do this, my partner and I reserved seats on a Eurostar train with seats in totally separate coaches. Is there any way to change an existing seat reservation for a train in early October to have 2 seats together. Thank you. Michael 

Hello my family and I are hoping to travel from the UK to Spain (travelling across the Channel into Paris, down to Barcelona then down to Malaga in Spain).My wife is Spanish and holds a Spanish Passport and ID card. Myself and our child only hold a UK passport.Sorry if this is a stupid question but I believe as my wife is a Spanish National, she can purchase the Interail pass (which appears to be cheaper than a Eurail pass), however can she purchase 2 for us as well - and can my child and I use them, as we are non EU citizens (thanks to the stupidity of Brexit!)??? 

Having trouble with my tickets, I don’t want a refound, I’d like the possibility to purchase in the right amount. I purchase via eurail website and received this emails. I still don’t have my money back or could purchase the ticket. When I try to purchase it shows the same price and say that this purchase its already loading

Hello, I have reserved seats for inOui TGV via Interrail in an SNCF station. The thing is that my pass is second class, but I have checked and the seat reservation tickets that the guy at the station gave me are 1st class. Is there a problem with that? Should I return the tickets?
