Did not know that the TGVs reservations were scaled. Thanks
The eurostar £15 change of date fee on interrail reservations is excessive, attempted to change reservations last month but the eurostar booking system did not offer a free change of date even though the reservations were out with the 7 day cut off point.
Usually go with UK post office insurance as always find travel insurance much of the same and it takes time going through all the detail. World Nomads maybe your answer.
would strongly recommend adding the train ticket to the mobile pass before boarding.
In the uk the eurostar london to brussels11:04 on the 18/08/22 is listed on the eurostar website.
@mcadv That £15 admin fee is a bit steep, bad pr for eurostar considering they are advertising unlimited and free ticket exchange for regular ticket holders - interrail pass holder being fleeced maybe?How technically difficult is it to add an extra carriage?
Missed the morning Paris-Milan train 2020, went to the booking office but the afternoon train was fully booked in 2nd class, payed the extra fee for a 1st class reservation on a 2nd class pass.
the reservation is not linked to the pass. the reservation will be on the eurostar system use the booking code to enter the portal. as far as i know you can change the reservation date free of charge (one time) if there is a fee the site should display a price prompt and you can always opt out of the change.
@mcadv not over frightened utilise the long booking windows so i can then take the time to research the destinations. rail travel anxiety is a strange phenomenon - not as if the railway station is going anywhere - could be the general collapse of trust in transactions. would really want to use board and go more often but time and the necessity of long haul journeys work against that.
Check on the interrail app if your train journey requires a reservation, then book reservations through the interrail portal. Some high speed intercity trains require reservations. Trains that do not require a seat reservation you just board and go - remember to enter the journey details on your paper pass or into the mobile pass app. London Kings Cross to Edinburgh timetable and (free) seat reservations.
Having travelled with Trenitalia, the experience is that their ticket checkers are very diligent, if the linkage between the mobile pass number and the reservation is a new security feature then presumably that could be an issue for the pass holder if the mobile pass and reservation codes mismatch or the mobile pass code is not on the reservation.
Frecciarossa reservation purchased on the interrail portal. X is the mobile pass number.Global Pass: Only for pass holders valid for the whole international requested route. Show your credentials on board. TICKET NUMBER SUPPORT: XXXXXX
The pass is valid on the SNCF TGVs Paris -Milan route, but not the Trenitalia Frecciarossa.
The interrail pass is not valid on the Trenitalia, Frecciarossa, Milan - Paris route.
Presumably I need the pass cover numbers and a civ code for the three mobile passes to utilise the web based reservation portal.
The interrail web portal signs out of the account when attempting to create a trip with the extended mobile passes, on logging back in the trip is greyed out as expired. Attempted to add the extended mobile passes to a recently purchased mobile pass web account but they are flagged as expired on the trip menu.
Same problem with (cov19) extended mobile pass. Would be interesting to know why interrail do not issue pass cover numbers with mobile passes.
