To support previous post we have an upcoming journey and reservations have been in place for weeks. I assume you have joined both trips together on your mobile. Yes, we now have both mobile pass ID on same device and ready to create trips/ journey. I read we are suppose to create journey by the day because the QR code is created for 1 day use vs 3,4,5. We haven’t done this yet so don’t know if app will still allow mistakes. Thank you Yorkie for your help,Jon
2 people 2 IDs. It is not 1 PASS for 2 People, but 2 passes. Great! Thank you for clearing that up for us Angelo. First timers using Eurail pass.
Here is some useful information from the experienced travellers in the Community regarding both planning, reservations and activation of pass and travel days. Planning The rail planner is normally not up to date, as it only is updated once a month, so to be sure of the time table you better check the timetable and availability on the websites of the national railways. The bigger national railways, like DB (Germany) SBB (Switzerland) and ÖBB (Austria) cover several countries. Reservations The advice from the experienced travellers in the community is to use other ways to make reservations than the Interrail/Eurail website. You can look at the guide in the link: https://community.eurail.com/train-connections-reservations-47/how-to-get-reservations-105 If you, after having looked at the guide, have questions about how to make specific reservation, please give your travel details (departure date, time and route) preferably in a new topic, and you will get advice. Please note that I
Still a little confused why paper pass allows train reservations 6 days in advance but mobile only 3 hrs. What is to prevent all seats from being reserved prior to the 3 hr. window? What prevents train offices from implementing reservation requirements on current non reservation schedule hrs. prior to our arrival? Is it possible to pre plan a 2 wk. trip that requires reservations using mobile pass? Thank you, Jon I don’t know where you are getting the idea there is a 3 hour limit on reservations from but it is not correct. I remembered reading it, there seems to be much confusion. You can also make a reservation online via Eurail.com and their Eurail Rail Planner app, however, there are a few considerations:E-ticket reservations can be booked up to 3 hours before the train’s departure. Paper ticket reservations have to be booked at least 6 days before the train’s departure. Thank you, Jon
Thank you everyone for your time and assistance. I think we have app setup correctly with both people on same device/ app. Apparently, my wife didn't actually activate her pass on her device. She only entered information and created journey/ trip but didn't complete the activation. So I activated her pass on my phone app and removed her pass from her device. I think it stated "deactivate" pass to activate on different device because it hadn't been activated or maybe because start date was several days out. Don't know why... Not sure why we got error messages before when trying to enter 2nd person, unless app needed to update before accepting another pass?We are traveling together so hopefully this will make train scheduling and reservations easier.

Thank you for your help. Do you know if app prevents people entering same last name from using dame device? Example: Our last name is the same. After I activated pass then I entered same last name for my wife and got error message. We couldn't find a way to enter her name. You must enter name before entering ID. Trying to understand why we couldn't both use 1 device 🤔
