Answer
Paris to Bruxelles-Central
Best answer by Hektor
If you'd like to book that journey with Rail Europe, you need to search for Paris to Bruxelles Midi.
Eurostar doesn't stop at Bruxelles-Central and you won't be able to book if you do search for Bruxelles-Central (even if you do get a timetable). But Rail Europe will let you book it when changing the arrival station to Bruxelles Midi.

Now i realize Eurail is not good pass . I check and they shows so many train schedule are all fully book.
And I check trainline there are so available tickets.
On what date do you want to travel from Paris to Brussels?
Eurostar is one of the few trains with a quota for pass holders. For Paris to Brussels though there are alternatives though.
yes, I have to check Eurostar.
funny thing is the eurostar website shows no seat for the morning until late afteroon.
I check Trianline , they have seats for the morning .
Since Eurail has so much limitation I would have book direct…
Eurostar website is more reliable than Trainline or any third party! Please give us a travel date and we'll have a look.
You can go via Lille, Maubeuge, etc. anyway -> this route is not an issue at all.
30 Apr, Morning 8-10am . 7 pax.
If you could advise any other routes - Bruxelles Midi to Den Haag Central for 2 Apr ? I also got hard time getting the direct routes?
There are passholder seats left on the 08:24 and 10:24 services (+ later ones), not in between. You shouldn't wait to book.
Eurostar trains are quite expensive : 7 x 27€ for this train. It adds up quickly! There are ways to save money though.
For example you could travel via Lille for 7 x 10€ : updating.
- TGV Paris-Nord - Lille-Flandres 08:45 - 09:48 10€ per person
- TER Lille-Flandres - Tournai 10:08 - 10:36
- IC Tournai - Bruxelles-Midi (or Central) 10:45 - 11:48
Or fully free via Maubeuge (other departure at 10:32) :
- TER Paris-Nord - Maubeuge 07:17 - 09:18
- R Maubeuge - Charleroi-Central 09:43 - 10:38
- IC Charleroi-Central - Bruxelles-Midi 10:53 - 11:45
For Brussels - Den Haag you mean 2nd May, right? Anyway take the hourly reservation-free IC Direct to Rotterdam* and change to a very frequent train to Den Haag.
*board in Midi station for more seats, especially as you're a large group.
Thanks for the help!
For Brussels - Den Haag, I traveling on 2nd Apr.
Thanks for the tips to Rotterdam. One questions, my Eurail pass I can use for Netherlands domestic train or subway?
