How much does a Eurostar journey cost using Eurail global pass?

I know in France, Italy, and Spain you pay 8-13 eu to make a reservation on a high speed train with a Eurail pass. But the last time I used Eurostar some years ago, it seemed like I was paying half or 2/3 of full fare even with the pass. I want to travel from London to Brussels. I also know that the fares differ at different times of day. Can someone tell me how it works please? Thanks.

Can I make seat reservations beforre I activate the pass?

I would like to make seat reservations before I actually arrive in Europe. Can I reserve seats with a non-activated pass? I am thinking Eurostar, ICE, etc. I have tried searching this forum for this topic - and indeed it has come up before. But usually the only answers side-step the question, and ask about the specific travel plans of that person asking. Can someone please let me know if it's possible to make reservations without activation? If not, then it's possible to find trains completely full.

How early should I be at the station?

Hi, I’m planning to travel from Zurich to Milan. I will arrive to the station at 17:58 and the next train available to Milan leaves at 18:33. 30 minutes are enough to get to that train or do I need more time? Thanks in advance!

Can I make a reservation on Eurostar before I buy my pass?

We are planning a trip next year from 28 June to 12 July. We are holding off buying the pass to see if there is an Autumn/Black Friday offer. We can now book the Eurostar for our dates. Is it possible to make a booking before we buy the pass?

Unable to Book reservation for Chur to Tirano Bernina Express Panaromic Express Error Msg

Dear All. *Urgent*I am trying to book Zurich to Chur and Chur to Tirano on June 5. I have the Eurail global pass. However, when i am ready and willing to pay for the seat reservation, I cant book it online as a error message says part of the journey could not be booked. My plan is to enjoy the scenic route down to Italy Tirano and then travel to Milan from Tirano. I dont know why i could see St Moritz inside my trip which i booked to take the 1.34pm train at Chur to Tirano. Is there a alternate way or website to book this seat? Pls help to reply to my query as I am comfortable with a printed ticket and i am leaving my home in 2 hours. Worse case I have to pay for reservation and travel in the seat reservation Zurich to Milan trip which is not scenic. Im arranging a day hotel stay in Zurich just to travel on the scenic Bernina Express. Else i would have gone straight to Milan from Munich and travel elsewhere. :( Any form of guidance is appreciated.Thanks

Interrail mobile pass not linked to online account - can't sync activated pass on app to online account

I have bought an inter rail mobile pass. The pass is not showing up anywhere on my online inter rail account in the “order overview section” - and not showing up anywhere else, and therefore I cannot see if it has been activated. How do I get it to show up? However, my pass is activated on my inter rail APPI have manually created a Trip on my ONLINE inter rail account, and manually added my pass details. I have added friends to this Trip. They have done the same, but none of us can see that we have been added to each others’ Trips. We need to make train reservations. If I make a reservation Online for all of us on my Trip, does that show up for their Trips as we are linked?When I board the train, what details to I show? Is this on the App? How do I link / synch the Online account and details about the Trip to the App?.I leave early next week and need this sorted out ASAP. Any help appreciated @AnnaB do you have any ideas thanks

Need Help in Train booking without seat reservation from Zurich to Aalen, Germany.

Hi Friends. I have a Eurail global pass till 14 June. I wish to book a train today from Zurich to Aalen (Germany) to travel on 30 May. The Eurail Planner shows Train EC 8 from 10.59am to Karlsruhe HBF Arriving at 2.10pm. After changing train in 56 mins to IC 2161 at 3.06pm to Aalen 4.57pm. It says for both trains reservation is not required and Im ready to board. When i click to receive a printout from home, there is a charge of about $26usd (3 pax) from Zurich to Karlsruhe and from Karlsruhe to Aalen $65usd. It says i can buy a seat reservation but its not required.So does it mean I just go to Zurich station and board the train with my Eurail global pass and no need to have a printout showing my tickets and seat number. Please advise. Its my first time booking a no reservation seat. So i can sit at any of the available seat in both trains? Another train timing shows 6 min transfer at Karlsruhe, but im not sure if the time is enough to alight and change train as we have 2 big and 2 sma

Use of 'Pass network only' feature in Rail Planner app

HiCould you please help understand the use of ‘pass network only’ feature in rail planner app.case A: I was searching Direct trains from Paris to Amsterdam for 20.05.2024 and with ‘pass network only’ disabled, I can see EUR 9315 at 08.25 from Paris reaching Amsterdam at 11.44. But when ‘pass network only’ enabled, app doesn't show the train!case B: I then tried putting off Direct filter and can see EUR 9315 from Paris (at 08.25 ) to Bruxelles (9.47) → change in train → IC 9231 from Bruxelles (10.44) to Amsterdam central (13:32) Does that mean I cannot use above direct train as in case A with EUrail/interrail pass?TIARegards

Hi there.What service would people recommend for left luggage at Paris Gare du Nord. On Sunday 2nd June we’ll have 3-4 hours before our Eurostar departure so it would be nice to have some lunch in Paris and be bag free, especially if it’s hot! Many thanks.

Asking for suggestions : Travel Plan in Switzerland

Hi Friends. This is my family (Wife and adult daughter) 1st time travelling to Europe. We will be arriving in Paris in the next few days and from there intend to go to Switzerland by train. We have already bought the Eurail Global Pass for 22 days.Im not sure if we should go to Zurich, Bern or Geneva. We want to see Lucerne, Interlaken, Zermatt, all via train. We would appreciate if you guys can suggest a suitable route via train including the train number and if its covered in the global pass and if reservation is a must. Eg Zurich 3 day stay, then train from Zurich to Lucerne & at lucerne stay for 3 days, then from there go to Interlaken etc. We are ok to pay the reservation but not sure about the Swiss pass and which route it covers.We want to see the scenic routes by train, but not sure which route to take and how many days is it sufficient in each city. We would like to travel from Switzerland to Italy to Lake como via train. We are not sure which train routes are not covered

Bikes reservation

Hello,I want to book a trip from Lyon to Vienna via Zurich. I'm traveling with my daughter and our two bicycles. However, I can't see where to specify that I'll have two bikes with me. It seems strange not to mention it, especially since there is an extra charge for bicycles.Thank you for your response.

Réservation vers l'Espagne impossible ? Impossible travel to spain

Bonjour,J’essaye de réserver, en vain, depuis quelque mois un trajet de la France vers l’Espagne (Madrid ou Barcelone peut importe). Et encore maintenant à un mois du départ cela parait impossible, le passage vers l’Espagne ne semble pas possible. Que dois-je faire ? Je commence à désespérer… J’ai lu sur un autre topic qu’en demandant en gare le jour du départ c’était possible, mais j’imagine mal mes vieux parents s’organiser ainsi au dernier moment. A l’aide !Hello,I've been trying to book a trip from France to Spain (Madrid or Barcelona, whatever) for a few months now. And even now, with a month to go before departure, it doesn't seem possible to get through to Spain. What should I do? I'm beginning to despair... I read on another topic that asking at the station on the day of departure was possible, but I can't imagine my old parents organising it at the last minute. I need help!

6 day Greek Island Pass - can it be used in reverse?

Can one use the 6-day Greek island pass, which includes the possibility of a return trip from Italy to Greece (Ancona-Patras-Ancona), ‘in reverse’? In other words, imagine one is already on a Greek island and uses the first travel day to reach Piraeus, the second travel day for Patras-Ancona, the third travel day for Ancona-Patras, and the remaining days for travel within Greece. Is this allowed?Many thanks!

Problème de réservation TGV en France

Bonsoir tout le monde, Je voulais savoir ce que signifie le message "Le train n'est pas ouvert à la réservation" sur le site de la DB (int.bahn.de) quand je veux réserver des places assises pour un trajet Montpellier-Munich par exemple. Ça me propose que la réservation d'une place assise entre Stuttgart et Munich, donc la fin du trajet...Est-ce que c'est parce qu'il n'y a plus de place réservable ? Que les billets ne sont pas encore en vente ? Sur le site de la compagnie ferroviaire Autrichienne OBB ça me fait pareil, il me propose uniquement une réservation sur le Stuttgart-Munich. La SNCF (compagnie française) ne vend pas de réservation de place seule pour ses TGV/TER... ? Merci de votre aide

One-country Germany pass, how many inbound/outbound trips to Venice or Verona are allowed?

I would like to know how many times I can travel to/from Italy on a one-country pass for Germany.I am a citizen/resident of Italy. I see that OBB/DB trains to/from Venice, Verona etc are included in the pass. Does it work as for the global pass, so that I only have one inbound and one outbound trip available, or can I travel between Italy and Germany as many times as I like?To make the question clearer, I need to travel to Germany and back to Italy twice in two weeks. I would then buy a 4-day one-country Germany pass. Can I simply use the pass for both trips? Or do I need to buy regular tickets from home to the German border (Kufstein I would guess) for one of the trips?Also, is there a reservation fee on the trains from Italy to Munich, as with the global pass?All this is not really explained in the dedicated one-country pass page.Thank you for your advice.
