Hi dear,

 

I'am little confuesed regarding adding a journey to the Mobile Pass with several connections.

I will have two trains in one day with a short connection, the eurail site says that I have to add all the journey to the pass before getting to the train.

Does it mean that I have to add the two trains in the same time before the first train, or I have to add every train before I get in it ?

In case I will have to add them all in advance, and I missed the second train, would it possible to add another journey in that day with another train.

Knowing that I have a global pass (continious).

 

Thank you.

The only requirement is that you add a train to your pass before you board it. You can add them all in one go, even in one journey, or one at a time.

You can always remove trains from your pass if you miss one or change your mind.

How to activate a mobile Eurail Global Pass ?

Is the validity starting once themobile Eurail Global Pass is activated ?

l’m using RAILPLANNER….how do l transfer my 5 trips to a mobile Eurail Global Pass ?….can l do it at once ?

I have 5 trips - 7 travel days - written in RailPlanner’s My Trip. I intend to transfer all of them at once to my mobile Eurail Global Pass ?

Do l need to make all the reservations before l try the Transfer ?

Does the pass needs activation before the transfer ?

Do the trips need to be activated once the reservations are paid ?

You should wait with activating each journey until just before boarding the train. Please read more about that below. 

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 Interrail/Eurail charges an extra fee of 2 EUR per person and train in addition to the fee for the seat reservation.

 Activation of pass

During the activation process you choose the start day of the validity of the pass. Once the validity has started it can't be changed even if you haven't travelled. The advice is therefore to wait with activating the pass and starting the validity until the first day of your travel as you only can deactivate the pass no later than 23.59 CET on the day before the validity starts. If your travel plans change in the last moment you can't deactivate the pass and change the validity. 

It can be wise to make a test and activate the pass with a start date well in the future and then deactivate the pass immediately, just to see that everything works.

 Activation of travel day

The advice from the experienced travellers in the community is also never to activate a travel day, that is connect a journey to your pass and create the ticket (QR code), until just before boarding the train, otherwise you might loose a travel day if your travel plans change in a late stage  You can't delete a travel day in the past. A travel day can only be deleted until 23.59 CET the day before the travel day.
