Hi. I bought a mobile global pass in the November sale from the myinterrail website. I’m trying to make some seat reservations on Eurostar through this site and although I’ve created an account, I can’t make a reservation. It’s saying I need to be logged in, which I am. Do I need to create a trip first on this website to be able to book reservations? I can’t see how to add my pass. Will anything I book on here link with my Railplanner app? Any help gratefully appreciated! (I don’t want to make the payments on my phone via the app) Thank you

If you want to book on the Interrail website, you'll need to create a trip there and add yourself (and any others) to that trip with your pass details. There's no link between a trip you create there and the trip in your app. Reservations are entirely separate from the pass. The only link is your usually name.

But it's best to avoid the Interrail website for reservations if you can. It's not so reliable and more expensive.

Here's an overview of where's best to book:

Book Eurostar on www.raileurope.com, so you don't have extra booking fees.

Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.

Thank you @rvdborgt for your help. I was getting confused between the various different websites, apps and booking systems. It doesn’t seem v easy to book reservations directly on the rail companies websites, although I realise some of the apps let you do this. I had also seen some not so positive reviews about people’s experiences on Rail Europe, but I guess that will happen on any booking system. I only needed three reservations so in the end I used the Interrail website after checking the actual times elsewhere and all seem to have gone through ok. Many thanks
