Need to obtain Pass Cover Numbers

Family of 6 traveling through France and Italy in July. We purchased Eurail Global Mobile Passes. We are unable to reserve seats without our Pass Cover Numbers. If anyone could be of assistance, as my emails have gone unanswered, we would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance.

Train times and time zones

Hi, My friend and I have booked some trains for our trip. When booking, for example, we clicked on one for 7am. I’ve just looked at the e-tickets and it says 6am.  I understand there are different time zones however, these countries are an hour ahead of the UK so why has it gone back an hour? Just very confused. Thank you

Prices temporarily unavailable Wien to Split NT 1153?

Hello! I am having trouble booking the train from Vienna to Split (EN 1153), as it appears that it is not possible to make a reservation. “Prices temporarly unaviable”Is this because it is still too early to buy them? Or are they already sold out? Or do I have to buy them elsewhere?I would be very grateful for any comments that someone had on this route.

Spanish Interrail Seat Reservation Debacle

My partner and I have had to cancel a Spanish Interrail trip and rebook other European destinations, due to the dishonesty of EU Rail. Booking seat reservations in Spain is ridiculously complicated (you either have to be in the country at a specific station, or try to navigate the phone system to order a paper ticket ).Also, we calculated that seat reservations for a first class pass are extremely expensive -almost equivalent to buying news passes each! And the fact that many RENFE staff apparently DON’T recognise the EUrail mobile pass is worrying.WHY are RENFE even still part of EU Rail, when you can’t book seat reservations by email and they are disinterested in EURail customers?What is the point in using a fist class EU rail pass, where seat reservations are an added, extra financial cost?We are extremely unhappy, as we were looking forward to visiting Spain, but the apathy of EURail and RENFE have crushed this dream.

OBB seat reservation vs one way ticket

Hi! I recently purchased a Eurail pass and I was planning to make several overnight trips. However, I am quite confused wrt to making seat reservations on the OBB website. I have quite a bit of confusion regarding “one-way tickets” vs “seat only”. I have already purchased seat reservations for all legs of the journey for 3Euros each, apart from the Nightjet train(which I could not make a seat reservation) but I am unsure if I need a one-way ticket instead. Was wondering if anyone could provide advice regarding my trip? :) Amsterdam to Berlin Intercity 60403: Amsterdam to Duisburg Hbf Intercity express 949: Duisburg Hbf to Berlin Hbf Berlin to Vienna Intercity 95: Berlin to Wien  Vienna to Venice Option 1(which I may have booked wrongly) Railjet Xpress 764: Wien to Salzburg Nightjet 40463: Salzburg to Venice Option 2 Nightjet 40466: Wien to Venice  Thank you so much!!!

Can’t add manual trips

There is a journey I want to take that can’t be found in the Rail Planner app, so I need to add it manually. I am traveling with my family and adding all trips to all five of our passes. The manual trips either don’t appear at all or appear for a short time and then disappear. I’ve also had another journey that wasn’t added manually disappear from the passes of two of my daughters. It seems I am unable to add any journeys at all for the two of them for May 9. We have two month global passes and they have been activated but we haven’t taken our first travel day yet. We are using iOS version 23.1.0 on an iPhone. Thank you!

Finding a booking reference number on a paper ticket

Hello,I am a travel agent and booking train travel on behalf of my clients, one of whom uses a wheelchair.  They both have Eurail passes, but they want seat reservations on all the trains so they don’t have to do anything themselves. The tickets that are eTickets are fine because I can see the reference number, which I use to go to the individual rail provider websites to change their seats to wheelchair seats. However, on the printed tickets, they will be receiving them, in a month!! I can’t wait that long to make the changes to their seats.  How do I figure out what their booking reference is on these tickets??

Pass cover number required

I am trying to book a reservation for a journey from Paris, France to Nice Ville, France, however, due to a technical glitch on the website it won't let me reserve a seat. The reservations are for sure available when I'm not logged into my account. I need a pass cover number but I have a mobile pass, can someone please help me get a pass cover number from my online pass?

Interrail website showing no seats available London - Brussels

Hi there. My partner and I have bought a 4 days in 1 month interrail pass, as we're planning a trip to Brussels and Rotterdam. When I go on the Eurostar & Rail Europe websites and put in the details of our departure (London to Brussels, Friday 27th May) there are trains and seats available.When I try to book the same journey using our passes through the Interrail site, it shows a €0 fee, implying no seats available, and will not let me book. Why is this the case when there are seats available through? Is it an issue with your site?Please let me know asap, as if we can't travel on the 27th using Interrail we will need to cancel our passes, as it's not worth the money if we can't use it for London to Brussels. Thanks very much, Liam.

Can't make reservation on the train company websiteI. It says ''In karta''

I need a seat reservation for a trip on the 22th of june from Prague Hlavni Nadrazi to Bratislava Hlavna Stanica. In the app off Rail planner it says there is a train from 9:12-13:54. When I try to make a seat reservation on the official website of the train (I got this link from your website) I can not find this specific train journey. But when I try to book a different one from their site they keep asking me for a In Karta, but I do not know what this is and neither do I think I have it. I am one of the few students who won a DiscoverEU pass so I only need a reservation and not a ticket. Could you help me explain what a In Karta is so I can make a reservation.  Greetings Maxine

Delivery by post reservations - issue

I want to book a reservation from Paris- Barcelona and Barcelona - Marseille. Both can only be delivered by post. I‘m leaving tomorrow so i can’t use my own adress and wanted to use the one of my second hostel. I‘m staying there 06.05-10.05 and the reservations are for 13.05 and 17.05. i filled out the adress and everything but below there was a message that due to their calculations it won’t arrive on time. I don’t know how long the shipping takes but i‘m confused on how to book those reservations. Is my only option at a train station ? It’s still 14 days away so i don’t get why it won’t arrive in time ? Booking at a train station seems risky because what am i gonna do if the train is full for that specific day ?

Seat Reservations for Overnight Trains in Italy

Hello,I have a Global Pass and I’m trying to make reservations for an overnight train from Paris to Rome on May 8th with sleeping accommodations.  The first train reservation from Paris to Turin seems to be available as usual. The second is a nightly train between Turin (Torino Porta Susa) and Rome (Roma Tiburtina) from 20:40 to 05:53.  When I try to make a seat reservation through the Eurail website, the reservation shows a message:        Prices temporarily unavailable        Check back in a few hours to see prices and book this seat reservationThis message has been there for a few days. I have tried the app, it refers me back to the Eurail website.There are instructions on the Eurail website that recommend booking online with ItaliaRail as an alternative.  The instructions say that you are able to select “Global Pass” in the offer menu to book reservations only, and that way  you do not pay the price of a reservation plus an additional ticket. I am not able to find this option for a

Problem with Seat Reservations in Italy with my Mobile Pass

In have a Mobile Pass and I planned a trip in Italy.Now I wanted to book seat reservations for the trains where I need them. If I choose that I have a Mobile Pass in the Interrail Planner App, it tells me that I can only buy reservations in person at train stations. Apparently, it’s only possible to buy reservations online if I have a Paper Pass. But I just found that a bit weird and I was wondering if there is actually no way to buy online reservations with a Mobile Ticket. I would be really thankful if someone could help me here.And if I have to buy reservations in person, can I just buy a seat reservation the same day at a station in Italy? Is it just as simple as that?Isn’t it possible that it’s too late if I buy a reservation one day before or even at the same day?Thank you really much!

Getting the RENFE confirmation number from reservation

So I placed a EUrrail reservation for a trip I’m planning in a couple weeks, and had the paper pass for RENFE shipped to my hostel ahead of time. After talking with the hostel it seems like the package required my signature and ID to be received so the paper pass is stuck in transit.Is there a way to get EURail to provide me the confirmation number of the RENFE reservation for me to be able to reprint the pass when I land in Barcelona, or should I just cancel the reservation and rebook.

Seat reservation required - Prices unavailable - Romania

I am trying to book seat reservations via Eurail within Romania to travel between Bucharest to Brasov to Sighisoara on the 30th May 22. It seems like all of the inter-regional or night trains require a seat reservation, but Eurail’s website shows the following error:Prices unavailableNo price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board. Are all the inter-regional or night trains booked out a month in advance? it doesn’t make sense. Can anyone help?

Crossing the French border to Spain. How to make this cheap?

Hello all!I am planning to go the iberian peninsula from Romania but in order to do that I would have to cross France where I would need seat reservation which is anything but cheap (40€ twice). I've read a lot about Spain's system being very unfriendly to interrailers so I decided to visit only Barcelona. Is there a way I could go around this or make it cheaper? What are your experiences and/or tipps?
