Reservations cost 10€ (more in 1st class pass but you get a small meal) and should be available on eurail.co

You still get a Meal on RENFE 1st class? 

I´ am not working for Eurail or Interrail i just share my knowledge here. Please ask in the Community and not via private message as this is the fastest way to get an answer. I prefer English/German/ Czech for my answers. In case of Reservationquestions please share some details like Route, Date, Trainnumber as otherwise we can just provide general advices or answers

Not for €10 AFAIK. IIRC there's a separate, more expensive reservation that includes the meal but that can only be booked via RENFE.

Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.

Hello, Since we've been receiving the Global Pass tickets via email, do we still need to process an activation of the tickets at the train station window?

I remember 4 years ago there were steps to activate the tickets. Is there still a travel calendar?

If you've received your passes via email, then you've ordered mobile passes. The confirmation email has details about where to download the rail planner app, which will contain your pass, how to activate the pass and how to add journeys. You can also look here:

https://www.eurail.com/en/eurail-passes/eurail-mobile-pass/getting-started

In the mobile pass, you also have to register the trains you take. Please have a look at the URL above.
