Please help me fix this.(P.S. if to choose “traveler with a mobile Pass” it works, only trouble clicking on “traveler with a paper Pass”

Hello!I’m currently planning a train trip to Narvik in Norway, likely using an Interrail pass. However, I have a few questions about the pass that I’d like to know first. How do the different passes interact with Night trains? Does the reservation price change depending on if I have a 1st or 2nd class pass? Does having the pass even reduce the price of a sleeper ticket on these trains? Is it possible to book seat/sleeper reservations through the operator websites using the Interrail pass, or does it have to be done through here? How would I do this? Certain services have more than 2 classes. For operators like this, such as Eurostar, which class would the 1st class pass allow me to use? Would the reservation price be different to if I was going via standard class? Would the busses around Narvik also be covered by the Interrail pass? I’m intending to leave the UK on Eurostar for my Outbound journey. Would I then b

I got a global pass and want to travel from the UK to Nice.I’m hoping to get the 20:57 train from Paris Austerlitz to Nice Ville on the 16th of October.When I log in to book a seat this is what I get. I’m assuming the most expensive option is a bed but I’m not sure. I did reach out to the helpdesk and they told me to use Rail Europe to book a bed (apparently they have no clue what the options shown in the screenshot are). However Rail Europe does not find the whole of my journey. Do I need to book seats both in Interrail and Rail Europe for the various legs of my journey? How does this work on the day? Do I have to use both the Interrail app and the Rail Europe app to show I have a valid pass and bed reservation? Or will my reservation in Rail Europe sync to the Interrail app?I’m trying to ask the helpdesk but it’s all very tedious with a 24h delay and often only half an answer so I thought I’d come ask here in case anyone knows.

Hi, I know that seat reservations booked wirh rail companies (Eurostar, for example) instead of Eurail itself don’t show up in my app or account. Is it in any way possible to upload these reservations in the app or account? Can I or must I use a printed version or a download somewhere else to show to the ticket conductor on the train?

Hey I’m trying to go from Riga to Kaunas tomorrow (11/09-25), but I can’t seem to figure out how to get my seat reservation. When I ask at the station, they tell me to book it online - but online they only accept mobile-pass, and I have a paper-pass. Does anyone know what to do 

We have purchased our eurail pass, selected our trips, and purchased seat reservations. The email confirming the seat reservations does not have any assigned seat . Im confused as to where we should sit without specific seat assignments

Hello. It's my fist time in Europe and I'm kind of lost. My plan is going from Florence to Lucerne. What is the best route to do? I also interested in day trips in Switzerland, like Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen. And then I'm going to Paris. Do you guys think a 5 day pass is appropriate for me? 

I just purchase a pass but i make a mistake writting my last name, i change one letter for other (kind of dyslexia), how can i correct that? 

Hello,I am currently using a Eurail Pass and I still have 2 travel days left out of 7. I had originally planned to use the remaining 2 days today (September 10) and on September 12. However, due to several reasons, I would like to change this plan and use the pass on September 11 and 12 instead.I tried to cancel today’s ticket and rebook it for tomorrow, but I received a message saying that no more travel days can be added. Since I have not yet used today’s ticket, I would like to know if it is possible to change the travel day from September 10 to September 11.Could you please let me know how I can adjust this?Thank you very much for your assistance.

Hello, I am rather confused about the country of residence/passport info. I live in the UK and am a UK citizen and also an Irish citizen. I have an Irish passport and don’t currently have an up-to-date British passport. However, it looks like there might be a problem with buying a pass and selecting ‘UK’ as my country of residence but then having an Irish passport as my ID. I’m not sure what I’m meant to do - I could get a new UK passport but it’s annoying to have to buy one solely for the purposes of this …

Hi everyone, I’m planning to travel around Europe soon with a Eurail Pass and I’m a little confused about seat reservations. Do I need to book them in advance for all trains, or just high-speed and overnight ones? Also, what’s the easiest way to make reservations if I’m traveling across multiple countries? Any tips to avoid extra costs or surprises would be really appreciated. Thanks!

When do the first class tickets for June to August 2026 become available?Thanks in advance.

Hi.  We've made it to Zermatt. Was just checking our trip in the app for tomorrow, Saturday,  leaving on 6.06am to Brig then change for Domodossola. But when I just looked in my rail planner / trip right now, everything has strangely disappeared - our passes, our trip and planned train journeys. Its worked well till this moment,  now Im worried. I've turned my phone off/on but no change. I need it working for tomorrow.This is the message that comes up - Currently, it's not possible to view the Pass you bought on our website in the app, even when logged in.  Good news, though! We're working on making Passes automatically show in the app so you can add them more easily in the future. For now, you can still add your Pass manually using your last name and Pass number, which you can find in your order confirmation email.What should I do?

HI,I am looking to exchange my ticket (well - get a refund and then buy a new one) because I have 7 travel days and think that I will need 10.  But i have already booked by eurostar seats and an overnight couchette to Zurich.  Will I need to change these?

Hi, i have problem reserving a bed on the nighttrain from Budapest to Bucharest. Anyone same problem and a tip? Should i reserve in the train?

Is the train leg from visp to Zermatt covered on a global pass?? 

In using trip planner, I am trying to figure out how to break up my trip a bit.  For example, I am arriving in London at one train station and leaving London from a different London station, and it is trying to plan a route from one station to the other (and I am not planning to use a train from one station to another).  I am also breaking up the train travel with one flight from Paris to Milan, and the trip planner is arranging a train route for me from Paris to MIlan.  Is there a way to not have that planned?  Or do I just not make reservations for the stretch it is planning for me in these two situations?  Do I plan separate trip?  I might be overthinking this since I have not purchased yet and don’t know what happens when you commit to a purchase.  Does it try to commit you to the trip you plan or do you scheudle as you want?
