I've made train reservations on the Rail Europe platform using my interrail pass number. I received the tickets as pdf's. Can I add them to the Interrail app? If not what to do when travelling ? Print the tickets and activate the travelling day as a 'use day' in the app ? Thanks for your support,  Rob

The reservation and the ticket are separate. You can not add the pdfs to the app.

You add the train like any other train(without reservation) in the railplanner app an activate the journey before you get on (only activate the journey on the day you are travelling). If you get checked you have to show both the QR Code ticket that the app generates after the day has been activate and your separate reservation (printed or on you phone depeds on the conditions of the reservation)

Hey ​@RobertMu,

Marvin is correct. Please read the information on seat reservation tickets to find out whether a paper format is required or only pdf file on the phone where the QR code can be scanned. You can easily view all your bookings in your web account under ‘Reservations overview’.

Hope this helps!
