Newbies and Old and first time users

First time users of a Eurail pass as Seniors on a 10 Day out of 2 month pass with first class seating. I have downloaded the RailPlanner app and added my pass to that> We fly into Frankfurt on the morning of 25th April and intentions to jump a train straight to ParisSo few questions, of probably manyDo I add my wifes pass to her phone or can both be on mine,,just wondering as I will need to book seats and unsure whether to book one on each phone or both on one phoneWe are hoping to get a Train around 8.30am from Frankfurt airport and from what I can see it goes via Mannerheim and then we take the express to Paris> it seems that I have to book seats from Mannerheim into Paris and pay the fee. Is the Eurail only site that we can do this or are their other online apps that we can add the passes too ?Thats the first question,,next day we are off to Nice,,so one step at a timeWe dont really need to go to Paris its just that it seems a shorter trip from Frankfurt-Paris-Nice as we are c

Amsterdam to Barcelona seat reservations

I’m trying to travel from Amsterdam to Barcelona on March 13 using my Eurail pass.  So far I plan to use IC trains (without seat reservation) between Amsterdam and Brussels-Midi, then TGV (with seat reservation) between Brussels-Midi and Lyon Part Dieu (with seat reservations).  However, for the last leg, between Lyon and Barcelona, I cannot figure out how to reserve seats ahead of time.  I’ve looked at eurail.com and b-europe.com, and I’ve called Renfe and SNCF.  Renfe tells me that I can only get the seat reservations in person at the train office.  That seems like a bad idea considering our time will be limited.  SNCF told me to call Renfe.  The forums in this community indicate that it’s difficult, but apparently not impossible?  Help!

Route planning

Hi all, trying to book my son and his friend tickets from Paris Gare Du Nord to St Pancras and I am being offered an option of the TGV to Lille, as opposed to a route that takes them directly from Paris to London.Is this an option I can select? How tricky is it to change at Lille to catch the Eurostar? Thanks in advance.

Eu rail Geneva to Prague planning

HI,This is our itinerary for a family of 3 adults and a child.Aug 11: Geneva-Interlaken Aug 12: Interlaken -ZurichAug 14: Zurich -SalzburgAug 16: Salzburg-VIennaAug 19: Vienna -Prague4 questions:Is a 7 day Eu-rail the right choice or something less is possible? Best option for Jungfraujoch -is that train from Interlaken and is this covered by Eurail pass? Is reservation necessary on any route during this time which is peak summer? Wondering if a rental car is an option on any part of this itinerary for more flexibility. I suspect eurail pass will be less expensive but please suggest.

Who should reimburse for the hotel I couldn't stay in because train was delayed?

I was going to take the train from Oslo to Stockholm on March 23.I had reserved and paid for my hotel in advance for my stay in Stockholm. Everything seemed fine, but when I arrived at the platform, I find out that the train would be 160 minutes delay.Since it was cold, I wanted to wait at the station instead of waiting on the platform. I didn't leave the station for 2 hours. When I went to the platform again 2 hours later, I could not see any information about the Stockholm train.Since it was late, the information desk was closed, so I went to the security guard and asked about the situation.The officer said that a lot of people like me had the same problem and that they did not know what happened to the train.After waiting for about 1 more hour, we learned that the train arrived early and left without any information.This train was the last train to Stockholm for 23 March. So there was no other train I could take and I was stranded in Oslo. Also, since I couldn't go to Stockholm, I c

Pass reservation TGV Paris to Forbach / Saarbrücken

Hello,  I’d like to buy a pass reservation for a TGV train from Paris to Forbach. Unfortunately, for our train SNCF claims that all seats are booked. Strange to say that for the same train it’s possible to book seats from Paris to Saarbrücken, but not for the shorter trip to Forbach.However, this would change our trip to be an international trip and to consume a home country day of our pass in germany which we don’t have available. Would it work to get a pass reservation to Saarbrücken and use our pass only for the way to Forbach, so no home country day would be used? It’s even bad enough that reservation fee goes up from 10€ to 18€ due to this-

No 1st Classe seat Reservation Shown

Hi,I try to book a seat reservation from Homburg HBF (Saar) to Vienna HBF for the 20 June, but there is no 1st Class seat reservation shown for ICE 563 Homburg-Munich, but 1st and 2nd class reservation on the Munich to Vienna leg.Could it be that the Homburg to Munich ICE has only second Class and no first class, or is first class already booked out. When I go to www.raileurope.com, it only shows no seat reservation required but I am unable to book a seat reservation.Is there a website which shows the trains aND WHAT CLASSES THEY HAVE?Regards,Horst

Alps/Pyrenees

Hi all! A small group of friends and I are gearing up for a trip to the Picos de Europa in Spain this May. Our 15-day journey will take us through the Alps, possibly including the Pyrenees based on recommendations. Our focus will be on activities like bouldering, scrambling, via ferrata, and hiking. Starting from the Lake District, our first stop will be Fontainebleau for some bouldering. Another stop is Magic Wood, also known for bouldering, (we will get the train to Chur and then link with public transport).As we’re still in the planning stage, we're open to suggestions on how to seamlessly connect our destinations via trains and local public transport. Quality over quantity is our priority but any recommendations are greatly appreciated!Thanks :)

ÖBB Nightjet says tickets "unavailable" more than 3 months in advance? + how do seat reservations from train companies work

Hello, I’m trying to get a nightjet from Vienna to Venice overnight (24 to 25 of July). The Eurail timetable says “Reservation fees vary based on demand” and seat reservations required but doesn’t give me an option to reserve it. The OBB nightjet website says no offers available and the general OBB website says ticket unavailable. Does this mean it’s already sold out? Really didn’t think it could possibly sell out so early out but I guess it is a popular time. Any help would be appreciated.
