Travel day and number of trains


Hello guys, I have a 4 days travelling pass for one month. I am going to Netherland, Sweden and Germany from Bordeaux (France). For one day travel I have up to 4 trains to take (for exemple one train to go from Bordeaux (France) to Lilles (France) and then one train from Lilles to Brussels, then Brussels Rotterdam and Rotterdam Utrecht). Once I want to activate each train I have a message saying that I am using one travel day. My question is if I activate one train for my first day of travelling can I activate my other 3 trains (the same date) without using all my travelling days ? 

I am really confuse by this so if someone can help me that would be great ! 

Thanks a lot 

cheers :))

Yes. You can take as many trains as you like in one day, including any overnight trains if they depart before midnight.

It’s recommended not to activate a travel day until you are at the station, ready to depart. In case there are any last-minute changes of plan.

So even if they warn me with the message “you will use one travel day” I can still activate my others trains on the same travel day ?
Thank you but if I need to make a seat reservation on a train How do I know that my seat is reserved and secured if I don’t activate my train?

Thanks a lot for your help !

Seat reservations are separate from the Railplanner app. You best make the reservation at the railway company that runs the train.

For seat reservations, use this page as a guide:

https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htm

The app can't book any reservations.

Yes.

The first train you activate on a day will give you that message. You can then take as many trains as you like on a travel day.
