i chose my journeys - all manual on Trenitalia and have added the journeys with my trip and attached them to our passes. But how do I know what seats I have on these trains that I have chosen. When we get to the station how do we know which car we are on? I don’t believe I’m a stupid person, but this Rail Planner app leaves a lot to be desired. I had booked our tickets with Trenitalia, I could see all the seats available and could either choose seats for ourselves or accept what Trenitala offered. And if I had to pay for the seats thats fine. How come Eurail doesn’t have this capability using the Rail Planner app? (we are travelling in 1st class - Italy flexipass 8 days in 1 month).I speak English only
i have QR codes for each train, but nowhere does it show seats or car number, when I view the ticket
I’m not quite sure whether to not add journeys from my trip to our passes. I know when we want to travel and where. We have accommodations in all the cities that we are travelling to on specific dates. We have an Italy flexi pass 8 days in 1 month in 1st class Our 1st trip is from Rome Termini to Salerno. I know Trenitalia assigns seats for this train. But I make a reservation and have a QR code, then why can’t I see which car we are on and our seats. Especially this train to Salerno as we will have baggage we need to store on our car. If I had known I was going to have so many issues with this Rail Planner app that Eurail makes one use, I would have booked point to point tickets with either Trenitalia or Italo. Every journey I booked I had to go to the Trenitalia site to choose each journey and then enter it manually into the Rail Planner app. It has been a pain in the you know what. Eurail must know the Rail Planner is not good, or they would have had a call centre to answer your qu
none of the trains I wanted showed up on the Rail Planner app. All journeys I wanted I went to directly to to Trenitalia. There were trains available on Rail Planner but not all that were offered by Trenitalia. Some on the rail Planner app were 7,8 or 9 hour rides whereas Trenitalia had the same destinations with faster and shorter times.,
I guess I’m not making myself clear. We have an Italy flexi pass 8 days in 1 month in 1st class. Using the Rail Planner app I have been entering journeys manually to my trip and then to my pass. I then get a QR code for that journey when I View Ticket. I know that Trenitalia assigns seats automatically. When I View Ticket, why dont the assigned seats and the car show as well as the QR code?
If I need to BUY seat reservations is not the issue. How to buy the seat reservations is my problem. You’re telling me the QR code is my ticket. If i have a ticket why dont i have a ticket number? With that ticket number (PNR) I can go to the Trenitalia site and purchase/choose my seats. Should it not be that easy? What am I missing? Again, I have to choose the my journeys manually. In order to find the trains I want i use the Trenitalia site. When I’m on Trenitalia site I can choose seats and car. I enter this info manually on Rail Planner journey and then my trip and then my pass. NO WHERE does it allow me to choose car or seats. Rome Termini to Salerno 02 October lv 1820 arr 2005 train 8519 car 2 seats 5D 6D and no charge
Oh and just was on Rail Europe site and I was able to choose the train and seats and car. So please tell me what the issue is with Eurail
Thanks for the reply. I think that is the better idea but the ladies joining us are a little nervous about having their own rail planner app. have to see if I can ease their fears about having their own app
Thank you Railmaster I believe we will wait til 1735 for the Frecciarossa. I do want to be on the train when it boards the ferry!!!
I’ve tried that as wellother than Trenitalia no site displays the Intercity train
Thank you for your response here’s my plan book Leonardo express to Rome Termini and then book Rome Termini to Florence Santa Maria Novella I also know with a pass you are able to travel on as many trains as you like in 1 day and that only uses 1 day on your pass is there a procedure for booking 2 trains on the same day and using just 1 day of the pass that is the part I’m not sure of
Thanks so much for your response now I’m a happy train person
we are flying into Rome -FCO in September. We are planning on going to Florence that same day. There is a direct train to Florence at 1353hrs but it is too close after we land. So we would like to take the Leonardo Express to Rome termini. Can we take the Leonardo Express as part of our pass? I have the journey on our trip but I can’t book seat reservations. What are my options for this journey?Thanks in advance
Yes we do have a 1st class passnever thought of going to Tiburtinahave to check that out thank you
sorry for the delay in responding and thank you for your response. We have a global flexi pass in 1st class. Our plan is to travel from Rome Termini to Florence, then on to Salerno, next will be Tropea and finally back to Rome.I did try book seat reservations on Austrian OBB but every trip said no tickets available. One more question. Can I book Leonardo Express and then book seat reservations at the airport ?Can’t seem to make a reservations online.
