How to book Interrail and Eurrail adjacent seat reservation?

I am traveling to many places via rail with my German best friend. We have the different passes and it has been impossible for us to book our seat reservations. We would like to sit next to each other while travelling, but there is no option for us to choose where to sit when it is a seat reservation train.

Combination of reserved seats and unreserved seats?

I am very confused about Eurail….So in my travel from France to Italy ...the first leg says no reservation needed….then the middle leg needs a seat (so I reserved and paid for one) and then the last leg said the pass seats were gone so I went to Italian rail line and paid for the full price seat.But….what about that first leg?? I have no reservation..it’s not even possible...so what if I show up there and can’t get on the train because it’s full….then the seats go to waste that I’ve paid for for the 2nd and 3rd leg??? :(I feel like even if the seat is free we should have a way to hold a spot or something? Am I missing something??

Can't book reservations for Paris - Nice

Hi,I am doing an interrail with my friend. We have bought passes and we want to go from Paris to Nice. We cant make seat reservations for the train? Can we still travel on that train with our passes without seat reservations or can we make them there in the train?Thank you in advance!Heikki H

Outbound continuation after border after midnight

My outbound trip (Amsterdam NL - Bern Switzerland) leaves in the evening after 20.00. In My Trip the app gives the trip to Basel seperately from Basel - Bern. I can switch the part Amsterdam - Basel to count as a travel day. When I add the part Basel - Bern the app counts another day, That is not what I want. How do I solve this?

Getting through station gatelines in the UK with Interrail pass

Hello,I’d like to ask how do I get through station gatelines in the UK with an Interrail mobile pass? I’ve heard that I would need to scan a barcode on a scanner, but last time I visited UK, I went to many stations and I don’t remember there being any scanners, only a hole for a paper ticket. Maybe I remember incorrectly? Also I don’t think all the stations have an attendant that I could ask for help.

Eurail and the trains in England

For those of you travelling in England, the Eurail pass works on most BritRail lines (including the ThamesLink and the new Elizabeth Line). It does NOT work on the Heathrow Express, despite what’s on the Eurail information. However, the good news is that, with the new Elizabeth line in London, you don’t need the Heathrow Express. The Elizabeth line trains run from Paddington Station to Heathrow often (I think about every 20 minutes) and are wonderful I just travelled from Brighton (on the Thameslink) to Heathrow in a little over 2 ½ hours. For some reason, the Eurail QR code doesn’t work on any of the BritRail scanners, but just go to one of the wonderful station workers and they’ll get you through.

Cannot book reservation. I get an exclamation mark or the page does not respond

I can’t book my reservations on the train I want. When I have filled in all the information and want to go to the next step after filling in where I was born, the page does not work. I get a exclamation mark in the middle of the page, or the page does not respond in any way. I have tested refreshing the page, do the reservations again both in my computer and my mobile.

Geneva to Paris

I keep getting error when I try to book 1st class train ticket from Geneva to Paris. Has anyone else had the same issue. How do you get around this problem. Also the reservation cost for 1st class ticket appears rather expensive at 59 Euro despite being a global pass holder.

Transferring my kid's passes

My wife and I bought separate passes, our kids are linked to my wife’s pass but I will travel more days with them (it’s complicated 🤷🏻‍♂️).Is it possible to easily transfer our children’s passes to me before we use them, as I will travel separately with them to another country for a while?I’m worried that my kids won’t be able to travel with me as they will be linked to my wife’s pass!Or is it possible to get an exchange for a family pass even though the parents will travel to different places for a while?Help! I’m confused ☹️
