I purchased two 1st class, 6 day Poland only eurail Passes for my sister and I for travel in August. I have the Rail Planner app loaded on my phone and both passes loaded but not activated.
My sister is technocologically challenged. We live in different states and because of that it is easier for me to purchase the seat reservations so that we are traveling on the same trains. Can she also load the app on her phone before we travel so that she can show her own phone with her daily pass? (she is going to visit me soon so I thought I could load it on her phone at that time) I wasn’t sure if it was allowed because it is already loaded on my phone.
A couple of other questions-
- When looking at the https://www.intercity.pl/en/ website to purchase seat reservations it is only allowing me to select one ticket at a time. I select two passengers but as soon as I select Eurail/Interail in the discount drop down it switches to one passenger. Does this mean they need to be booked separately? or is there a trick to booking two at a time?
- I’ve tried to read everything about using the passes and I just want to verify that I have the process down correctly. I can use the Pass ID numbers for each pass to purchase seat reservations for each train 30 days prior to travel. I activate our passes before our first day of use. The day it is activated is considered the first day of use? (I’m not clear on this?) We have the thirty day pass with 6 days of travel but will only actually be in Poland for about 20 days. I create a journey(s) each day of our travel and that populates a ticket (QR code) that we would show the conductor along with our seat reservation. Most days we are traveling on one train only except for the last day where we will be traveling from Boleslawiec to Warsaw which involves several different reservations. We will not be traveling overnight at all.
Thank you so much for any help or suggestions you may be able to offer.
