To book via website or app

Hello all, I will be travelling using the Eurail global pass and inside the app it shows a timing that don’t match/show in the Eurail website. I’ll need to book seats reservations on the website and show a QR code to enter the train via the app. I’m just very confused so in this case, should i buy the seats reservations at the timing that’s shown on the website and appear in the train station without the QR code from the app (as the timing don’t match)? And if i do book the seats reservations on website and turn up on the timing that’s on the web, i don’t have the QR code to enter as the app don’t have the timing on the web, will this be alright to just show evidence of my seats reservation?

Seat reservation is mandatory for a 1 year old?

Hi! I’m travelling with a Global Pass with my baby/ toddler (1,5 year old) from Paris from Barcelona. I’m wondering if it is mandatory to make a reservation for him as well, considering the very high price of it. Or can I just get myself the seat reservation and have him travelling on my lap? I only found information about older kids, who probably won’t be sitting on their parents laps.Was anyone in the same situation?Thank you very much!

How to book a private cabin for 2 on Zurich to Berlin nightjet

Hi - My husband and I would like to take the nightjet with our Eurail Pass between Zurich and Berlin on Wed 27 July 2023. I am finding the nightjet web site choices confusing. When the time comes to create the reservation (180 days before the train ride) which option should I pick? We want a two-person accomodation, and do not wish to share with another person. Thanks! Kay

eurostar to rotterdam and amsterdam

I accidentally booked tickets on Eurostar from London to Rotterdam instead of Amsterdam. I can’t change without cancelling the non refundable tickets and can’t seem to add a destination online by managing booking (noting the train stops in Rotterdam). Is it possible to just stay on the train for another stop? Can I amend it on the day?

Refund for Eurostar supplement because of train strike

Me and my partner bought two Interrail Global Passes back this summer. We started travelling early september 2022. The day before departure a train strike was announced which kept us from making our outbound trip using the Eurostar from Rotterdam to London. We arranged ferry tickets ourselves (not using the Interrail).Since then we’ve been unable to have our Eurostar supplement (the extra you have to pay while booking the Eurostar via Interrail) refunded. In total this amounts to €75,42.We’ve been unable to have it refunded. We used the form on the website asking for a refund but to no avail. There is no phone line to call to or there is no e-mailadres for complaints. I am resorting to this forum to get my money back for a train strike I should be compensated for. My request: Can you please refund €75,42? If you need further detail, please let me know. Regards, Mieke

Reservation fees for travel in UK?

When I try to plan a journey on the Railplanner app from my home station of Lancaster (UK) to the UK border at Harwich International, using one of the two days of “domestic” availability allowed, I am told that a €6 “reservation fee” is payable on the Lancaster to London leg of the journey. As there is not usually any charge for reservations in the UK why is this? And what happens if I just get on the train without one?

Trips without a reservation

I want to book a trip that has two changes of trains but none of them require seat reservations. All my other trips required a reservation so I would go in person to the train station and I would receive a physical ticket with a car and seat number. By adding a journey to my trip and creating the travel day, am I guaranteed to be allowed on that train? Will I get in trouble for possibly sitting in someone else’s seat or does nobody have assigned seats and they are all first come first serve seating? Is showing my ticket pass on my phone enough or do I still need to go to the ticket desk and receive a physical ticket for the train? If the train ends up being filled, am I guaranteed a spot on it since I’ve added it to my Eurail Global Pass via the RailPlanner app?

Seat Reservations in Spain

I have purchased a eurail pass (10 trips over two months). I will be in Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and Germany. My trip starts in Spain on May 9, 2023. I have made all hotel bookings so know exactly on what dates I will be traveling from city to city in Spain and Portugal .My question pertains to required seat reservations for Spain, and Portugal. I am aware that seat reservations cannot be booked online for these countries. It seems that I have to make seat reservations in Spain and Portugal at either a ticket office or at the station. Do I run any risk of not being able to make a seat reservation if I arrive in Spain and want to reserve a seat for Madrid 4 days later, as well as all other destinations? For the month of May should I worry or not worry about this? Thank you kindly for your response.

nightjet train from munich to venice april 30 sold out?

I’m trying to book a seat reservation on the nightjet from munich to venice for april 30th of this year. I believe seat reservations can be purchased 90 advance for the nightjet so today should have been the first day one would be able to make reservations, however there are no ticket prices loading. Was wondering if seat reservations really sold out that quickly or if you are just unable to make reservations yet.

Discount for SNCF trains for EURAIL pass holder?

Hello, I have recently purchased two EURAIL global passes for my holiday to Europe in May/June - however, I am having trouble booking seat reservations through EURAIL for Italy and Spain so I am trying to book them through their respective rail websites.I found the train from Barcelona > Marseille on sncf-connect.com, but the two seat reservation is approximately 220 Euros. It is a first-class seat and I have a first-class EURAIL global pass.My question is: am I able to get a discount on my seat reservations with my EURAIL pass if I am booking the trip directly through the train service website?If not, what is the purpose of the pass if I am travelling Spain>France and France>Italy if I cannot book these tickets through EURAIL website, and am instead booking directly with the train service?Thanks so much for any assistance.
