USING EURAIL PASS FOR THE FIRST TIME

We will use our Global 1st class EURAIL pass for the first time on 07 May. We are using the rail planner app and have planned a trip from Paris Gare de Lyon to Mulhouse Ville. Seat reservations are required and we have booked seats and printed the confirmation. We are seniors and have not travelled with a EURAIL pass previously. We will take the train from Chatelet Les Halles to Gare de Lyon (I don’t believe that I can use the EURAIL pass for this trip. Please confirm that this is the case). My question is about what we need to do when we get to Paris Gare de Lyon. Who/Where do we present our mobile pass? We do not speak French and do not want to miss our train. I am sure that there will be people at the station who can help us but I would like to know in advance what to do. Thank you for your assistance.

Eurail & Interrail Passes

How do i enter the exact train i have seat reservations on to my eurail mobile pass?

Hello everyone, I am travelling to the UK for the first time and also making use of the eurail global mobile pass for the first time and would like to know how to add the exact train that I have booked seat reservation on, to my trips in my mobile pass. From what I can see, the mobile pass only shows you timings of the trains between two places and there is no information such as train number etc. written anywhere on the railplanner app. I have booked my seat reservation from Edinburgh to London on LNER website by matching the timetable on the rail planner app to that of the LNER website. How do I ensure that my seat reservations are on the exact train that I have added to my pass?

Eurail & Interrail Passes

Can I use Eurail Global Pass for Trenitalia train Roma Tiburtina to Castiglion Fiorentino

From Melbourne, Australia, I am travelling mid June 2023 from Roma Fiumicino Airport train station (as staying near there) to Castiglion Fiorentico (via Roma Tiburtina is the way I am advised)Eurail website https://www.eurail.com/en/help/interested-in-eurailing/which-trains-are-included-in-the-pass states that Trenetalia Italian trains ARE included under Eurail Pass.The Roma Fiumicino Airport rail stn to Roma Tiburtina leg of trip seems not covered and not managed by Trenetalia.But Trenetalia operate Roma Tiburtina to Castiglion Fiorentico (per their website https://www.lefrecce.it/Channels.Website.WEB/#/search-results?handoff=true&referrer=www.trenitalia.com) so can I use my 7 day Eurail Pass investment - with no seat reservation ?The Eurail Pass site when searching simply comes up with NO train service found Roma Tiburtina to Castiglion Fiorentico 26/6/23 - unhelpful to me.

Technical issues: some trains can't be booked with us right now. See other ways to book here. Please check again shortly!

Booking from Bucharest to Budapest for June. Reservation gets added to my cart but then I get the error message ‘Technical issues: some trains can't be booked with us right now. See other ways to book here. Please check again shortly!’ Is this a bug or a feature? I can book direct via the Romanian operator so there is space available. Any ideas if this is an issue with the interface with the Romanian operator that might be sorted shortly or do i book direct?

10-trip/2-month pass between CH-HU-CH etc

Hello everyone ;)This is my first message here ;)I'm surprised at how attractive your services are in terms of price. Sincerely ;) I'll keep it simple (we could go into more detail) I plan to make 4-5 X round trips between a city in my country, Switzerland, and another city in Hungary over 2 months. That is : Moutier (CH) -> Bük(HU) then Bük(HU) ->Moutier (CH) (back)I know there's a 10-trip/2-month pass available.Is this the right solution?I have other questions, but this one is crucial before going any further. I apologize for my lack of understanding. 🙄 Papi1957Merci ;)

Hi! We’re traveling trough Spain and have to back at the 11th of may. Now we just heard that the train from Barcelona to Lyon isn’t going that weekend. Our Seats are already booked from Lyon to home (Utrecht) at the 11th and we can’t delay our trip to the 12th. Already had contact with Renfe, NS International and Interrail but so far no help yet…. Anyone any ideas? Thanks!

From Zurich, What is the cheapest way to go to lucern and mt titli for tomorrow w/o Global Pass? I have one day left in my Global Pass but I am saving that for going back to Paris from where my flight to home is. Google maps is showing to take IR70 from Zurich Hb to Lucerne. And then IR from Lucerne to Engelberg. Would it be better / cheaper to rent a car for the day?

Challenges in making a reservation on a spanish (RENFE) train

I am now trying to make reservations on 2 AVI trains and doing this from Montpellier in France :- First train (AVI 9730) from Montpellier in France to Madrid- Second train /AVI4175) from Madrid to Santiago de CompostelaI have just been to the train station in Montpellier and expecting to be able to make the reservation here for at least the first of the 2 trains. However the answer was ‘no’ in the ticket office there suggesting me that I go to the RENFE website and make the reservation there. When doing that, I am also being told that this will not be possible and suggest that I go to the train station on the day& time of my preferred train and here try to find out with the train personnel, if any seats are still or not, and if not take a train not having seat reservation requirements to as big station inside Spain, and then do the seat reservation(s) from these. My question is : Isn’t there another way to make such seat reservation on these AVI trains more smooth ? Kind regards.

First time traveller to Europe

Hi,I am traveling to Germany and Switzerland. I am going to Dusseldorf to Cologne, Freiburg, Poschiavo, Tirano and Zurich. I am planning to get a Global Pass 1st class. Is it worth getting 1st class and is it worth purchasing the plus (refundable) for the pass? If I miss a connection while traveling can I get a different train to my destination as long as it is within the one travel day? I’m a bit nervous traveling on my own for the first time and not sure if I’ll make all the trains I need. Thank you!Y
