Yes, it works, I got my Pass Cover Numbers and so was able to book reservations on b-europe for a Eurostar from Paris to London for about 30 Euros per Person. However, now I can't get any seat reservations at all to get back from London to Brussels on the date I wanted and for which I have already booked ICE connections from Brussels onwards. I'm gonna cry…I think it's wrong that Interrail doesn't warn you before you buy your Interrail Ticket that only a small number of seats are reserved for Interrail ticket holders and that you won't be able to book seat reservations on many trains that still have plenty of seats left for other passengers - just not for Interrail customers.And why can't you look up anywhere, before you buy your ticket, whether there are still seats for Interrail ticket holders left on the trains you want to take?And why can't the seat reservations for TGV and Eurostar be booked on the Interrail website? It could be so easy if you didn't have to talk to SNCF in French
@Kerstin With the newly launched Pass Cover Number generator you can get your Pass Cover Number https://community.eurail.com/news-and-announcements-39/pass-cover-number-generator-is-live-5653 Wow thanks, I will try that! It was only launched 4 hours ago. Let's see if it works.
I have now written to Eurail to ask them to issue me with Pass Cover numbers for my Interrail Global Passes using this link: https://eurail.zendesk.com/hc/en-001/requests/newThe automated response e-mail tells me it could take 2 days for them to answer and gives some suggestions to common problems. One of the is:< If the system says “No price results were found for this connection. Please try searching again or find an alternative way to book” this could mean the train is not bookable through us. Please, refer to our “Plan your trip/About reservations” section of our website for alternative ways of booking.We also suggest you to have a look at our community platform where Eurail and Interrail users are sharing feedback/ideas and solutions. >That isn't really very helpful at all...
Ok, I got help using the SNCF booking hotline: https://www.sncf.com/en/customer-service/contact-us/telephone This was by far the easiest option (which is kind of sad but ok) and the most helpful one. I was able to reserve our seats although it cost more than the last price we were able to see on the interrail.eu website before prices were gone. For future readers: If you can’t book via interrail.eu and it's also not possible via travel.b-europe.com (at the time of writing if you have a mobile pass, you cannot use this booking portal because you don’t have a “pass cover number”!), try to contact the booking hotline of the train operator (i.e. TGV → SNCF in France). Overall, my first Interrail experience is a very disappointing story, before it even started! For sure an adventurous story though - as promised in the app. But not the kind of adventure I thought of ;) Spent more than 6 hours in forums, support chats, hotlines and the local main train station trying to book three tra
