Traveling in October for 14 days

We will be traveling 14 days while in Italy.  for 7 days we will be traveling the train from Cortona to Florence each day.  So we will need to have use of the pass for 14 days.  When I try to pick a pass it tells me 4 days in a month.  I want access to the trains for 12 days.  Can you still reserve seats and book train rides in advance with a Eurail Pass?Venice to Florence one dayFlorence to Cortona 8 daysCortona to Florence 8 daysCortona to Rome 3 days

Global pass two trips from/to home country

Hi ! Need some help pleaseWe have 4 days on our global pass. We are going to Slovenia, by only using 2 trips, from Paris to ljubljana and then ljubljana to Paris.That means we have two more days of travelling available. And we wanted to go to Barcelona during the month our pass is activated with the 2 remaining days of our Global pass. Is it possible to do Paris - Barcelona and Barcelona- Paris , or does the pass only accept one inbound/outbound trip, so that means that we are obligated to use our 2 remaining daytrips outside of France ? Thank you ! Manon

Seat Reservations

HI All, We recently joined and are looking at buying a 10 day pass. We plan to travel to three countries in May over 10 days. How do we book a train from London to Paris using our Euro global pass? I jumped on the eurostar but its charging me the normal fare? There isnt anything on their website that offers a discount for global pass holders. We then want to book regional trains from Paris to Bordeaux and San Sebastian.. How do we go about doing that? using our global pass.

Swiss GCN Ferries from Lausanne - are these still 50% off with an Interrail Pass and can you book online?

Using the ferry to go to Evian or Vevey / Chillon, is it possible to get a discount with IR passes? And if so, is this only at the ticket office on the day and do the ferries ever fill up? We only have 4 hours in Lausanne and so have few departure options. many thanks if you can help!

Seat Reservations for Great Britain

When trying to get seat reservations for London-Edinburgh Eurail indicates that I need to get those through the rail carrier. Eurail says the carrier is “East Coast (GR)“ but I don’t know what railway company this is. In Eurail’s list of companies in Great Britain, with links to their sites, there is nothing that resembles this. I am assuming it is the LNER as they run most of the east coast trains. Does anyone know what the carriers are that match Eurail’s reference?

Benefits - do I lose a travel day

Hi, if I use my Eurail pass to get a 25% discount on the Schlithorn - do I lose a travel day?  Also - I don’t see a Eurail discount for the Schilthorn Brunch option.  IS it not offered for that?

Change TGV reservation CDG to Strasbourg

I have a reservation to arrive at CDG on a Friday in May this year and hope to depart soon after for Strasbourg by TGV and know a reservation is required.  It is sometimes slow and difficult to get from the plane through immigration and customs.  I should have 2 hours between arrival and departure of the TGV (morning).  There is another 2 hrs 23 minutes later.  Since arrival is on a Friday morning I expect the TGV demand to be high and am watching it now.  If I were sure of the trip I could make a reservation now but plan to wait about another month.One strategy is to book the earlier departure knowing that if the plane flies at all I could make the later TGV.  Another is just the opposite, i.e. book the earlier thinking that if it becomes clear that I can’t catch it in time I could possibly change the reservation to the later TGV.  My wife will be waiting at CDG and will know the status of the flight and could make the change if it is clear we wont make the early TGV.  She will be at

reservations for NJ402

Hi travellers!I was trying to make reservations for the NJ402 from Zurich to Utrecht on the 25th of July for me and my family. Somehow I can make reservations from Basel to Utrecht (same train?) but not from Zurich to Utrecht. According to the obb app we should take a separate IC from Zurich to Basel and board the NJ there. Any idea what could be the problem?

When should we become a group?

We are a group of four travelling from different parts of the UK to continental Europe via London. We will be meeting at London St Pancras to take the Eurostar. For example, one of us will be travelling from Manchester to Bruges via London. Another one from Brighton to Bruges via London. How do we make sure the interrail app books seats for us as a group (or at least on the same trains) from London onwards?I am assuming that if we set up a group too early, we won't be able to travel separately from different parts of the UK to London. And if we set up a group too late, we may end up on different trains and with seats far apart.

Should I buy Eurail pass first then book seats? Where do I reserve seats?

Hi! I am new to this forum and planning our first trip via train in Europe. It is very overwhelming, but I think I understand, but would like help to confirm.Here is our itinerary for the first week of Aug (family of 4)Day 1: Paris - Geneva Day 2: Geneva-Montreaux then Montreux-Interlaken (Goldenpass express) Day 3: Interlaken-Milan Day 4: Milan-VeniceI am planning on buying the Eurail 1st class flexible pass (4 days in 1 month pass)My question is: Once I buy my Eurail pass, where do I book seats for these segments? My understanding is that the Eurail site isn’t quite up to date (and doesn’t go that far out) and so seat reservations should be made directly on TGV, sncf, Trenitalia or other sites? I already booked my seats for GoldenPass express directly on gpx site. Thank you in advance!

Help with reservations please

Hello everyone I have taken interrail global pass. I have a series of doubts, please excuse me if I sound ignorant. Since I don’t live anywhere near London, I am quite new to the idea of using the rail to travel Europe.My questions:I thought the interrail pass would be valid only from the day we start using it. And yet, when I was purchasing it, I had to enter  a date in the box. Likewise I was not offered an option for email pass, I had to order a physical pass. Email would have been cheaper, but in my case, I wouldn’t lose it as well. Do you think I may have missed something and got it all wrong and ended up with a paper pass? This information would be helpful for future purchases of pass. I have gone for an interrail pass that allows me 7 days of travel within one month. I actually would like to travel to Brussels, Anrwerp, Cologne, Berlin and back, from Manchester, preferably in September. Do I need to do reservations for any of these journeys? Can I include Manchester to London wi

Adding journeys to an active travel day while travelling

Hi,I have only used paper passes before, but this summer I will use the mobile pass. When using the mobile pass, I have to add journeys to my pass to activate a travel day and make the journey appear on the ticket of that travel day.My question is; do I have to add all the journeys of single a travel day before I activate and start that travel day, or can I continue to add journeys to that same travel day when I’m on the move and when that travel day has already started?Let’s say that I start a travel day by taking the morning train from Berlin to Munich. The plan is, then, to spend a few hours in Munich, before I continue to Salzburg. All in one travel day. As I start that trip, and as I arrive in Munich, I still don’t know for how many hours I will stay before I continue my trip. So, regarding the mobile pass, I want to add the journey from Berlin to Munich, activate the travel day and make that trip. Then, when I feel that I have had enough of Munich, I want to add the next journey
