Train connections & reservations

[NEED HELP ASAP]Hi!My family and I (4 pax) will be traveling to Spain and Portugal this coming September up until October. We will be visiting Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Madrid, and Lisbon, Portugal at the minimum. The trip starts and ends in Barcelona.I was wondering if the Eurail pass can be used for our transfers between the different Spanish cities? If yes, do the travel days have to be consecutive or can we choose different travel days within our trip? Is the Eurail pass even worth it for these transfers?Alternatively, can anyone recommend a better (and hopefully cheaper) way to visit these cities? I’ve just been considering booking individual train trips through renfe, but I was hoping there was a cheaper option.Thank you for your help!

I’ve heard it’s easier for a couple to each buy their own pass separately and download their individual pass onto their own phones. How easy is it for one person to reserve two seats together? Does each person have to reserve their own seat separately?

I could not find a precise answer to this question : most answers refer to activating the pass, but my question is whether I can add a journey on an active day (after I already completed a journey on that same day using my interrail global pass).Here is a concrete example : I use my interrail global pass to take a train, in the morning, from Hamburg to Koln (thus the pass has been activated, and the travel day associated with this journey is active). When I arrive in Koln, I decide to go further away and take a train, in the evening, to go from Koln to Liège. The two journeys are performed on the same day but the first journey Hamburg-Koln was planned and the second journey Koln-Liège was decided on the go. Can I add the journey Koln-Liège on my pass although the day is already active ?Mike

I just looked out my reservations and looked again online. I found that the train on 24.07.23 from Milano Centrale to Napoli Centrale no longer exists. I have it reserved from 4:10pm to 9:13pm (train number: Frecciarossa 9551), but online I can only find a train from 4:30pm to 9:03pm (train number: Frecciarossa 9647).What can I do now that I have already paid and booked the reservation?

I am trying to reserve a train from Barcelona to Paris on 14 August 2023. Eurail website instructs me to go to SNCF. On the SNCF website, there is no way to reserve a seat without buying a ticket.Please advise ASAP. The train I wanted to go on is already booked!anne france

I’m currently on a delayed train started from innsbruck to Verona porta nuova and we reached Trento station which we were delayed for over 1 hour which means we have now missed our connecting train and paid seat reservations that we have missed now. What happens now? 

Hi there, Just wanted to double check whether or not I need a supplement to travel from Amsterdam to Rotterdam (I am travelling from Amsterdam Centraal to London) as it suggests in the Eurail planner app? I am just a little confused as I have gotten mixed information, with some people saying yes and some people saying that's old information. I tried to book a supplement online and it only gives Rotterdam and Schipol as options for starting stations and no option for Amsterdam. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everybody! I’m leaving for Malmo this sunday and I’m wondering if my travel is really doable in a one day trip considering the short transfer the app is giving me.  Is any of these trips doable ? And which one of them would you consider doing ? Thanks in advance for your answers!ps : it’s the first time I use a pass for travelling, and I also wonder the difference between “train change” and “transfer by foot”.

HiI’ve just come off the ‘phone with Renfe Sales, expecting to be able to reserve a seat on an AVE (Seville - Barcelona) in a little over 50 hours (4pm on the 12th July).The lady on the call said that I could reserve a seat but that:1. It had to be collected and paid for at a Spanish main station by 4pm tomorrow, ie a full 24 hrs before departure. 2. It would only be held until then and that I couldn’t reserve, pay and collect on the day of departure (which would be well within a 48-hour window).I’m in Vilamoura, Portugal and won’t arrive in Seville until 10pm tomorrow. I’d expected to be able to walk into the station at 9am on the 12th and pay & collect. On here (and other sites), I’m seeing advice that says you have up to 48 hours to pay and collect, but that you can’t reserve within 24 hours of departure (and I’ve seen advice that says you can).I’m utterly lost 🤷‍♂️Can one (or more) of you kind individuals who have unlocked this process help me understand the situation here, an

Are we allowed to use TERs that are showing as Complete on the SNCF app?There are a few screenshots of this on twitter eg journeys like Lyon - Genève (entirely on TER)
