My wife and I bought a 3-day Eurail Pass for France, and for the day we have been trying reserve seats on both Eurail’s Rail planner app and their official website for Paris to Nice on 27 June 2022 Monday morning.
Try as we might, even though the app and the site shows that there was an option before we logged in, but the moment we use our pass to try and book the option disappears. I suspect that the 10 Euro reserved seats are not available anymore.
However, when we selected the option to book via another way, it pointed us to another website (travel.b-europe.com) that allows us to see that there ARE seats for the same train that can be reserved, with 20 Euros fee. We are happy to take that option, but then it asked us to key in the ‘pass cover number’ which only appears on paper tickets.
Questions:
- can we still somehow secure the 20 Euro-priced seats, even though we have digital tickets?
- if yes, what’s the best way to reserve them?
