Hi,

I’ve already booked my Eurail Pass for my trip to Spain next month. Now I’m trying to book my seat reservations through Rail Europe.

 

However, I noticed that the system never asks for my pass number. When booking, it only asks me to select the type of pass (Eurail or Interrail), and after I select Eurail Global Pass, it just asks for my ID number and personal details.

 

Is this normal?Do they not ask for pass number?(Just want to double confirm)

-For eg,this is the only details i have to include(including email+ number)

I also noticed that RailEurope doesn’t ask for an Interrail/Eurail pass number for Spanish train bookings. They just need a personal ID number/passport number which is also stated on the reservation PDF.

If you are able to proceed to checkout, you should be fine.

Happyrail (the other reseller of seat reservations in Spain) neither asks for a pass number.

Until now, I always had to enter a pass number on Rail Europe. Although technically they don't need a pass number for most trains, so they could mostly do without.

Which train are you trying to book? (route, date, departure time)
