Hi All, I are using a Eurail global pass for the 1st time, but keen to understand when the train leg says “No reservations needed”, does this mean you just put your trip in your planner and activate it on the day required and this will generate a ticket. Or does it mean you just rock up an hope for the best the train isn’t full?
Any help would be appreciated

Yes the pass is your ticket once you activate the journey om that day. On trains without mandatory reservations that is all you need to travel. But this still means you just show up and hope you can find a free seat. It can happen that you might havr to stand for while if you can not find a free seat.

+8Jups, it basically works like a city bus. If you have activated your ticket, you jump on and find a seat.
No need to worry about seating in general. If you avoid travel outside of morning and evening rush hour (around 7h-8h30 in the morning and 16-17h in the evening on weekdays), you have usually plenty of seats.
The outer ends of trains are usually calmer.
