Im confused about the best time to add a journey for an interrail trip.

Ive watched loads of you tube videos, but am still puzzled.

I have a 5 day global pass, setting off on 14 May for 8 days.

I have planned an itinerary and booked reservations where necessary.

Do i load all the individual train journeys onto the app NOW in advance if my trip, or do i add each journey on the travel day as Im about to board the train?

If i load all the journeys for the whole trip but we want to change one of the days, will the fact that it has already been connected to the trip mean we cant change one of the days?

Thanks

You can do that whenever you like. I generally add journeys to My Trip max. 1 day in advance, but will only activate a travel day (by adding the first journey of the day to the pass) just before boarding.

You can always change the trains, before or during your travel day. You're not committed to take any train you've added. You can delete trains, and add others.

I usually add the trains as Journeys in advance. If I am unsure about which train I'll take I add several and then I delete those I didn't take. Just make sure to delete the trains on the actual departure date as it will not be possible to do in hindsight.

So does the option to generate a qr code for the journey just appear when the pass is activated?

Yes, you can only do that with an active pass.
