I am making seat reservations with my Eurail pass for a trip from Paris to Amsterdam on the Eurostar Speed Train. I went onto raileurope.com and selected date and time and it shows the trains available at a charge of EU32 each. On Eurostar’s webpage, they say the only way for Eurail Global Pass holders to reserve seats on their train is through Interrail at EU34My question is, why does Eurostar say that I am ONLY able to book a reservation through Interrail?Clear chatHi, I would like to find out how I reserve a seat if I have a Eurail Global Pass From Paris to AmsterdamTo reserve a seat with your Eurail Global Pass for travel from Paris to Amsterdam, follow these steps:You need to book your seat in advance and pay a seat reservation fee. Reservations are required for Eurostar trains, and availability is limited, so book as early as possible to secure your travel date. For this route, you can travel in Eurostar Standard (2nd class) or Eurostar Plus (1st class), depending on your pass ty

Dear CommunityI need some assistance. I have a 3-month Global Pass, and I’ve attempted to get seat reservations on a train from Copenhagen to Hamburg on March 3 at 10:22. I’ve tried DSB, DB, B-Europe and Eurail. Unfortunately, all sites either do not give me the option to choose seats or don’t work at all - see the pics attached below.Is anybody able to assist? I’ve used the information at The Man in Seat as my guidance for this.Many thanks in anticipation.SteveAdelaide, Australia. 

Hello there, we are so excited to be traveling around Europe for a wedding in Spain!We are going to Paris, Nice, Monaco and Sevilla. On April 9th at 6:25 we will be traveling from Nice to Sevilla. While booking, I am only challenged with our train from Marseilles St Charles to Narbonne. I am receiving this message: “No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable.” I have also checked the raileurope website and it’s not showing the same time as eurail that aligns with our other train times, I do not know if there could be an hour time difference so that may help. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated, I have also contacted eurail directly for assistance. I attempted to attach images multiple times and it would not let me. 

Hello everyone,I bought a 7 days pass to travel from France to UK in february. I’ve used my outbound to leave from Avignon to London, having a stop in Paris, on the 16/02. My question is about the inbound: I want to leave from London to Paris on the 28/02, stay for one night and then, on the 01/03 travel from Paris to Avignon. I’ve bought the Eurostar London-Paris ticket and used it as my inbound. I’ve bought my ticket from Paris to Avignon in a station, 20e, but can’t add it on my pass because I already use my outbound and inbound, and also because it’s the 01/03 and not the 28/02. Do you have any advice for me ? Or is my only solution to buy a regular train ticket (Paris-Avignon) on the SNCF website ? Cause if I do this, I would have lost the 20e booking. Thanks a lot and happy new year ! 

My wife and I are traveling from Nice to Zurich in late April, but when I booked the tickets, I only received two tickets, one from Ventimiglia to Pavia, and one from Pavia to Zurich.  How do I book a ticket in advance from Nice - Ville to Ventimiglia?Thanks in advance!

Hi all!Sorry if this question has been asked before, I can't manage to find it.  I haven't bought my ticket yet, as I'm trying to figure out what is the smartest in terms of money. This is my situation: I live in France, and I want to travel around in the Netherlands. That would mean I'd buy a Benelux Pass.Getting to the Netherlands requires me to travel with the Eurostar. From Paris to Rotterdam. I have a few questions about this: 1. I think I've read somewhere that for this Eurostar ticket (Paris-Rotterdam) my interrail pass would work, as I think it's allowed to take 1 train in your country (france, paris) to get to your country of destination. Is that correct? Or would my pass only be valid from Brussels - Rotterdam? Because I read that too somewhere, so i'm a bit confused.I know that you have to reserve a seat on this Eurostar train. I just can't seem to find if there will be an additional fee for this reservation? Otherwise getting an interrail pass might not make sense. I alread

I am struggling to reserve seats for travel from Paris to Reims on 2 July. The train appears in the timetable, but I am unable to make a reservation. Can anyone advise me on how to reserve seats, please? Would it be possible to reserve seats via my local ticket office (ScotRail)?

I am looking to travel via train later in the year and currently in the planning stages. I am from the UK and looking to travel to Poland for an event. Due to the length of travel I’m wondering if it is possible to fly into somewhere in Europe and then start my railling journey or do I have to leave from my country of residence and plan in the long journeys?  

Hey,ich möchte am 01.03.2026 von Lyon Part-Dieu nach Barcelona Sants fahren. Im Rail Planner wird die Verbindung zwar als möglich angezeigt, bei der Buchung kann ich den Sitzplatz jedoch nicht reservieren, da Barcelona Sants nicht als Zielort auswählbar ist. Kann mir jemand dabei helfen oder weiß, woran das liegt? Vielen Dank!

I want to go from Paris to Stuttgart with TGV on the 9th of May and cannot make an obligatory seat reservation neither with the connection from interrail to SNCF North directly on the SNCF homepage .how to do it?

We are travelling from London to Leipzig in a couple of months and have reserved seats on Eurostar and the night train from Brussels to Berlin.In Leipzig we will be having some day trips,  eg Eisenach, on local trains where reservations are not necessary or sometimes even possible. And we will  want the flexibility in our return time.I am not clear how we will use our passes.  Do we just hop on a train and show our pass? Or do we need to activate the jourey once we are actually on the train?

Some info for people traveling on Rhatische Bahn between Chur - St Moritz - Tirano.Hi, this is just to let you know that I observed new? restrictions on the rhatische bahn, which i haven’t experienced earlier.This morning I was planning to take the RE train from Tirano to Chur, which i’ve done many time. And i didn’t have a reservations, because it’s not compulsory and I relied on the 1st Class Pass.But this time, a queueing system was in operation where you first have to get boarding cards for the train. Waiting time: about 2 trains, (2 hours). (Actually I think the EU passenger rights would apply here)So, please note that you can’t rely on actually taking the train you had in mind, and making your connections, when traveling on RE 9 or R9 of ratische bahn from one of the terminus stations. The new queuing system could be in operation….In the end I walked to the next station, and took the next train from there… (Here I am talking about the regular trains, not the Bernina Express)  

I want to travel from Brussels MIdi to Amsterdam Centraal in March.  When I enter my Global Pass information it says the trains are free.   This means that I am blocked from making a reservation. I would like to confirm my seats.  How do I do this?Also, how long should i typically need to transfer trains in the same station?

Hi! i wanna go from Utrecht to Kopenhagen on the 4th of January. But im not sure what to do with my reservation on the ICE from hamburg to KPH, so any help would be nice:)) there are two options:Option 1 is at 14:47, interrail says a reservation is not needed, but DB says the train is fully booked (so i cant make a reservation anyway), can I still board the train? and just sit somewhere and hope for the best? Via the interrail site, i can however still make the reservation, so that would also be an option? (although it feels weird that I can make a seat reservation via interrail but not Db’s?) The second option is the ICE at 16:49. Interrail says I need a seat reservation for that one, and DB says that I can still book the seat via their website. My preference would be option 1 bc my partner is taking that train, but he already has a seat reserved. I guess I can always go for option 2 but was wondering what my prospects are at option1 . ANy help is appreciated, thanks:) also small side

I have an interrail pass and I'm travelling with a friend who has a Eurorail pass, how can we ensure we reserve train seats together on our journeys?

I want to make sure I understand how it all works.  I purchase the pass now (7 travel days), travelling in May 2026.  I can activate the pass now or later.  I must activate the pass to be able to reserve on trains.  I can reserve starting 90 days prior to train travel date, but not before. Do I have to do anything for my pass at any train stations or do I just show up and board my train?Appreciate your time!

I have the Eurail pass for my family of 4 and I had uploaded all passes to the app with start date later this summer. Then I went to wesbite to book our seats for a train leaving on June 1st. However, all the times I selected won’t highlight “add to cart.’ Does that mean I’m trying to book too far in advance, but the schedule table is too far out? OR is it because there’s an asterisk saying there are limited seats? I have 1st class passes, is it not feasible to book for all four of us at once? TIA!
