Hi! I need a little help to book seats with my friend. I did a little digging before on this community, but I haven’t found an answer to my problem.
But first context:
My friend and I won (separately) an Interrail Global Pass thanks to the DiscoverEU contest. We have mobile passes.
I tried to add her pass to my travel, in order to be seated next to each other (and also be on the same cabin in a night train). But after I entered her name and her pass number, it said: “We can't add this traveller to your trip because of different pass conditions. You have to book seat reservations separately."
But as I mentioned before, we have the EXACT same pass: same type of pass, same validity period (7 days within 1 month), same start and end dates.
Do you have any idea why it says that? How can I solve this problem?
If it can't work, is there any other way for us to seat together on the trains?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Charlotte :)

Yes there are other way to book seat reservations ! They’re all better than interrail.eu : less or no booking fee, compared to 2€ per person per train on Interrail. Optional seat reservations are also way more expensive on interrail.eu. Have a look here :

For the night train Zurich-Ljubljana, from july 6th to july 7th (20:40 to 8:09), on interrail.eu it says that seats, couchette and sleepers are available. But on nightjet.com, there are only seats.
Why do some night trains have not the same availability on interrail.eu and on nightjet.com?
Also : how does nightjet.com/tickets.oebb.at know that we have an interrail pass ? We only have to add the Interrail Global Pass discount ?

My guess: interrail.eu is buggy.

That's it: you add the Interrail/Eurail discount and you select "One-way tickets” (NOT "Seat reservation only”). As a bonus, it's cheaper than on interrail.eu. On nightjet.com, you only have to add the discount; you can't select the wrong search option.
Thank you all for your help. I have another question
They offer couchettes on the Zurich-Ljubljana night train only when you book for 1 person. Is it because there is only one bed available left in each couchette ?

Make a single booking for both of you.
How can we be in the same couchette if we book it seperately ? We can’t choose which couchette.
