HI. I have read and known that apparently you can’t reserve seats from the actual Eurail planner app(which is frustrating). We will be traveling in April(after Holy Week) from Milan to Rome, hence, I wanted to reserve seats ahead of time. What is the best site to do this for other trips as well or countries rather(Amsterdam, Paris, London, Brussels, Switzerland from Tirano). Thank you for your response.

HOW to reserve seats in EURAIL and can you edit reserved seats if you miss it?
Best answer by BrendanDB
It means that tickets are probably not yet open for booking. Italy is always late in that. Which train(s) you were looking at exactly? (Time-date, the more details, the better advice you get).
Amsterdam, Paris, London, Brussels and trains between them should be reservable. Which trains you’re looking at exactly between those halts?
Note that reserving a Thalys between Amsterdam and Brussels (or the other way around) is usually not good value for money with a pass. It comes with a hefty seat reservation surcharge, for a fairly short distance where reservation free, very flexible and only a tad bit slower intercity trains exist. The reservation cost is often as much as cheap advance tickets.
All guidelines for reservations not done via Interrail/Eurail can be found via this link:
EDIT: I checked, and there’s availability for april. Note that you cannot use “seat reservation only” when booking seat reservations in Italy via ÖBB (logic, I know...). Click on passenger/adult/ change button when booking ordinary tickets → select discount → Interrail/Eurail Global pass → the 10 EUR seat reservation should appear.
This specific guide is also provided and well documented in the link mentioned above.

Hi. Thank you for your response Brendan. Can you clarify for me regarding the Amsterdam to Brussels trip for me please? If I understood it right, we just go to the train station and just ride the hourly trains that run thru that route? Do I still have to generate a trip in the Eurail app?
Re the London to Paris, is Lille in London or in Paris? My reservation is from London to Paris Gord, can we still get off in Lille and just catch the train to Disney there? Do I have to generate a trip for this too?
Thank you
Yes, indeed. The IC has yellow - blue carriages and always leaves at +/- hh:45 during the weekend from Brussels - Midi or leaves from +/- hh:28 from Amsterdam Central.
You have to generate a qr code in the app for every train journey you take.
Lille is a city in the North of France. Usually the London-Paris Eurostar does not stop there. Only those to Brussels/Amsterdam. So getting off won't be possible.
You'll need to take the RER (Train like metro in Paris) to Disneyland. This is not included in the pass. Best take in Paris Nord the RER B or D to Châtelet Les Halles, and change there to RER A to Marne-la-vallée-Chessy. Tickets for the RER can be bought in the Eurostar bar on the train normally or in the RER stations.
Thank you...evryone is very helpful...thank you very much for your patience..i know my questions at times are redundant...

You always need to have a QR when you board a train using the Eurail pass, no matter if you have a reservation or not.

I think you just did type it wrong. Do it exactly like this "St. Moritz". I assume you did forget the "." - "St.", not "St".

hello..will this be the Beenina Express train from Tirano, Italy?

It's one of them.
There is an other Bernina Expres train on that day.
One going to St. Moritz, one going to Chur.
Depends on when do you want to go and where to.
The one to Chur is at 14.24.
But if you already bought a reservation you should choose exact this train for which you bought a reservation. (You did write: "I have already reserved the seats.")
hello again everyone...I just have a question as I have purchased our Eurail Pass as 1st class, but when I reserved our seats for our trip from London to Paris via Eurostar it is just 2nd class. Is this ok? Or I have to reserve again in 1st class? Thank you
+4You don't have to: with a 1st class pass you can also travel in 2nd class.
You can (if still available) change them to reservations in Standard Premier (1st class), but you will probably have to pay exchange fees. Reservations in standard premier are also slightly more expensive, but they do include a cold meal & drinks.
Interrailing seems difficult at first sight, but it's pretty amazing.

Hi..Thank you very much for this as all of a sudden I got nervous..as I thought if you have 1st class Eurail pass , you can only do 1st class reservations too. Thank you again☺️
