Seat reservation not available. Pass not valid.

Hi there,I bought 2 One Country Passes for France for my girlfriend and I. In the Rail Planner app I could activate the pass for our journey from Lausanne (CH) to Bordeaux (FR) meaning it is valid for this route (1. screenshot). However, when I try to book our (mandatory!) seat reservations on the interrail website, it says that our passes are somehow not valid on the first train but only on the second (2. screenshot)This is really frustraiting and I really hope that someone can help me out.1:2:

Reservations for mobile pass

I’m trying to use the rail planner app to reserve tickets with a mobile pass and in most cases it says that I can only book these in person. Does this mean as soon as I get to Europe (my stop will be Munich), I have to go to a ticket office and reserve the tickets there and hope they have some free?

i want to finish my reservation with rail planner app, but i can't

Dear sir or madam,Hi my name is Jihyun Gong, i just purchase a eurail pass with my friend.We made a plan with rail planner app delightly, but some issues we faced.First, after add some schedule list in ‘my trip’, and turn on yellow slice button, and we didn’t get confirm email.And we found some notice ‘ seat reservations required’. But when we click that schedule, we couldn’t find to pay.So we entered a eurail website with my computer, and added my schedules, and cart some schedule for pay. But some schedule, like paris to venice ticket, couldn’t pay directly. So I enter another site to get a seat reservation, but that price was different with eurail pass’s price. We have a mobile ticket, no paper. And our journey will start 15th, april. So we don’t have a time to get eurail pass by paper. please don’t hesitate to contact me, we are waiting for you. Sincerly, Jihyun Gong ps, just in case, do you have a korean representative? because of my english..

Gare du nord - Bruxells midi: do you just show the Interrail Pass?

Hi, would anyone know information about getting on the train from Gard Du Nord to Bruxelles? Do you present your ticket before boarding or onboard? We can’t find anyone with information for Interrail or travel at all. Some help would be great

The planner showed several connections for Munich - Cambridge. But the reservation tool not.

Dear community,I have an urgent question. I read that it is possible to travel spontaneously with interrail. I bought a pass and want to travel from Munich to Cambridge tomorrow and from Cambridge to Vannes on sunday. THe planner showed several connections. But the reservation tool not. There is actually no bookable connection as it seems for both journeys.How can I realize my travel plans? Is the reservation tool not connected to the planner? (WHY???)Thank you for your help.

No possiblity to book TGV tickets via different plateforms

Hello I just bought my first interrrail ticket and want to book a tgv from Brussels to Marseille. According to the interrrail platform it was indicated that the TGV line should be taken for this route but that additional fees will be charged for booking a place. Ok. But no way to book the tickets or get information from scnf (I called there for more than an hour to get the specialist that does not know about it and tells me to go onside to a French station to ask the question... Well I do not live in France) or sncb (the indicated phone number to ask the question for international transport is not working...) if I buy FOR SURE the tickets on Day of departure at the trainstation…So here is my question : did someone else experience this and how did you solve the issue?Because if I have to pay a separate ticket for a tgv then I have been confused by the interrrail plateform and I cannot use my Global Pass...

Eurail Mobile Pass + Seat Reservations in Italy

I have a mobile Eurail pass with the rail planner app. This is a 5 days in 1 month if that matters. I have booked my train reservations through the Eurail website, and so I have those papers printed and in my email, they all have barcodes. Then, within my Eurail rail planner app, I have those same ticket times I booked, and they are in “my trip”. Do I toggle those for travel days to add to my pass, and then that barcode in the app is scanned to confirm my Eurail pass, then I have to show the email ticket for them to scan to confirm I have a seat reservation? And do I use that mobile barcode to get through gates in the train stations?I just want a play by play of the boarding process. So - arrive at station, use mobile barcode for that travel day to scan and get through the gates, board train, the ticket person comes around and needs to scan both my phones mobile barcode, AND the other barcode that I received when I purchased seat reservations? Correct?hope this was clear, thank you!

Mobile pass - When I add it to the rail planner app will it automatically activate or will I have to do this myself?

I’ve just bought my mobile pass. When I add it to the rail planner app will it automatically activate or will I have to do this myself? Does the 11 month time period that I can use the pass still count once I’ve added it to the app (without activating it)? Do I have to activate it days/weeks before I plan to travel or when I’m boarding the train and will this date have to be put in when i add the pass to the app. Thanks!

Eurail for multiple travelers

I am traveling to Spain at the end of September 2022. I am traveling with 3 other travelers.May I order (and pay for) all 4 Eurail passes myself? May I make tickets and reserved seats for all 4 passengers? I am making 3 trips at the end of September 2022 and the first week of October 2022. Can the ‘3 days 1 month’ restriction span months (Sep-Oct in this case)?Thank you.

Booking seat reservation issue (Barcelona to Amsterdam)

Hi everyone my boyfriend and I recently bought the 4 day global pass and one of the trips we are trying to book is a route that goes from Barcelona to Amsterdam on May 29th. All routes on rail planner that go from Barcelona to Amsterdam require us to stop in Paris first. We are able to book the train from Barcelona to Paris but all trains from Paris to Amsterdam on that same day say “seat reservation unavailable” and “prices temporarily unavailable”. My first thought was that it is sold out but do train reservation really sell out that fast when we are this far ahead from the trip? If so that's fine but I wish Eurail offer alternate routes that goes from Barcelona to Amsterdam.

Outbound Journey from UK

I am planning to travel from Leeds (UK) to Paris on my first day.(Using a ‘Global’ 7 day pass) This would involve a train from Leeds to London then Eurostar from London to Paris. Does all this count as a single ‘Outbound’ journey or would it be classed as two separate journeys ?Thanks

EC from Munich to Bologna - reservation needed?

The Eurail system tells me that I need a reservation for the EC from Munich to Bologna. But at the main station at Munich they tell me that I do not need it. Since I want to travel the 11th of April it is to late to make the reservation via the Eurail system. So what do I do? Did anyone already take that train? The same is for the way back….
