I have a Eurail Global Pass to visit 10 city, start in Spain on 09/21/24 and them Barcelone, Rome, Florence, Venice, Viena, Amsterdam, Brussels, London to finish in Paris.
In this moment I live in Paris but I will travel by plaine to Spain because by train is so far.
I would like to planning my trip because some train types required to buy a seat reservation before you jump aboard for exemple Eurostar…
My question : Do I have to validate the pass before to book the seat reservation in this moment since my trip will start in September?
Many thanks for your advise,
Best Regards,

You can make reservations without activating the pass, even without buying it.
Look a carefully at the reservation costs in the link @thibcabe gave. France, Spain, Italy, and the Eurostar all have quite high reservation costs. Assume roughly €10-20 per train for a domestic journey, and €30 for an international journey.
You might consider buying tickets instead for the first part of your trip Spain > France > Italy. Consider a pass Italy > Germany > NL > Belgium. And look at cash prices on Eurostar to / from London compared with €30 each way reservation fee.
Hello,
Many thanks for your reply,
I have another question how I do to receive a Pass tickets paper???
Best regards,
Have you bought a paper pass? You should have an email from Eurail which tells you when to expect delivery.
Hello,

Can I valid my ticket before or do I have to do the day that I will travel??
Now I have another question. I try to planifie my trip at the application phone and I can see only two reservation Rome to Florence and Florence to Venice, I try many time to add the others trip and not result.
Venice to Viena
Viena to Amsterdam
Amsterdam to Brussels
Brussels to London
London to Paris
Paris to Marseille
Marseille to Paris
Could you please help me,
Many thanks
Hello,
I don’t understand what do you mean. In the Rail Planner you must define a trip only to activate the pass, the days of travel and show the tickets. Seat reservations are never available in this app.
@FLORES I made a test and I had no problem to add some of your planned connections:

Hello,
We are 3 persons that we will travel together, if one of the person need to change the destination
Is possible to book a réservation separaite ??
The projet was to travel to Brussels to London and London to Paris, but one of the person have a urgence and have to cancel London and take directly the train from Brussels to Paris, but the others two person continue the trip.
Do I can?
could you please explain me ?
many thanks for your kindly reply,

Yes all these routes are included, don't worry about that. 99% of European trains are covered, only exceptions are touristy mountain peaks and so on.
Don't forget to book seat reservations whenever required. Some routes sell out earlier than others: Eurostar and night trains especially.
You could avoid to use a day between Brussels and Bruges, you would have a day more in France or in another country for a longer trip.
Between Amsterdam and Brussels, take an Intercity train without mandatory reservation and not the Eurostar.
Kind regards
Eurostar reservations can't be cancelled, only changed. A change must be for the same route, just to another date/time.
Eurostar to/from London can be changed for a fee on www.eurostar.com via "Manage your booking”, no matter where you booked your reservation.
Eurostar Paris-Brussels can be changed free of charge before departure. Not sure if that already works via the Eurostar website. If not, then you'll need to do that where you booked the reservation.
Hello,
Many thanks for you kindly reply,
So I can do the change and we can travel separate ?? Two direction London and 1 direction Paris ??? Since the eurail pass Is one??

Each person always has their own Eurail pass. If you want to travel separately, then each person needs to have their pass on their own phone.
