Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Use the EURAIL Pass APP 

Of course! I’m glad it helped you :). Let me know if you ever have any questions about it that I didn’t answer.

Ooooo thank youuuu :) I appreciate you saying that so much! Glad it helped

Of course!!! Thanks for watching :)

I’m glad to hear it!! If you ever have any questions just let me know.

Thank you!!

Sorry it took so long to answer(I haven't had good WIFI)! YES, its a must to do it at the train station and do it as early as you can to save yourself a headache haha. I'm going to answer the rest of your questions as I see you had some more but thank you!!!

For Spain and on peak session, it is wise to do as early as possible, if you already have plans. Because if the trains are filled, then you have to wait for next train

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

You’re more than welcome :)

I used RT⑦⑦⑦E at TrainPal checkout and got 5% off for train cards!! are you interested🥰

Yes! Love to hear that :) That honestly would have made it sooooo much easier. Where are you are going? I can’t wait to go back 🌎

Hello Chad , did you use a Pass? How you bought the seat reservations? I'm thinking to buy one Interrail pass and I'm not sure because of the seat reservations. I'll appreciate if you share your experience.

Of course! I’m glad it’s helped you 😃

Of course!!!

Thank you :))

Omg thank you so much for saying this! I super appreciate it :))) Let me know if you ever have any questions!

100% with you. this video should have thousands of views! Thanks for taking the time to show us

🙏🏼 thank you!!

Of course! I’m glad it helped :)

Of course!!!

You are welcome!

Happy to help!

You’re welcome!

I think it is too as I have seen many people in the comments say it’s fixed! Thank you :)

It has been SO worth it being in Portugal (if you have time visit some of the beaches in Lagos because they are AMAZING!) butttttttt that bus ride was genuinely one of the worst travel days I’ve ever had so good luck!!!! 🍀 haha

Yes, I just created a playlist for it as well as all of my other videos! Hope this helps :)

@@cristinalaura Thank you so much 🙏🏻

It was at each individual station unfortunately :( . UNLESS it's a connecting train then you can buy it at the one station!

Yay!! I’m glad it helped :)!

Hey! Of course, I’m so glad you found it helpful:) Yesss perfect I’ll answer them in order haha 1. Yes I definitely think it is worth it still and I’ll explain why. So I made a video called is the eurail worth it and I kind of explain it more BUT if your going to like 4-5 countries I do NOT think it’s worth it but if your going to like 6-7 I think 100% worth it. That’s because the individual ticket prices from my experience (checking day before/day of) are wayyyyyyyyyyy more expensive. For example we were going to Paris to Frankfurt and the with eurail it was $15 for a reservation and it was full that day so we checked the actual price of a ticket and it was around $330(which we obviously didn’t do haha). So doing that like 10 times or even like 6 times would cost wayyyy more than the eurail. I can’t really say for buying them far I’m advance because that didn’t suit the type of spontaneous trip we wanted so I’ve never looked! 2. Soooo this is VERY dependent on the country/cities you want to go to. Generally, I would say if you want to go to BIG cities there will be a train that goes there. I checked and there are trains around Brussels like that that only take like 45-and hour butt this is not always the case. If it is a small city to want to go to I would not guarantee it. For example, we went from Venice to lake Como, Lyon to paris, Frankfurt to Berlin, Bern to Interlaken, etc and those were all quick trains! But there were other times we wanted to get to smaller cities and there was no way. It’s definitely cheaper if you plan to take a ton of trains! Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!!!!!

@@cristinalaura Hi above..... times we wanted to get to smaller cities and there was no way. meaning ? thank you !

Thank you so much for saying that! I’m glad to hear it helped! Yes, they made it so confusing for no reason I swear. Plus why doesn’t a huge company like this have good customer service🤦🏼‍♀️. Good luck on your travels 🌎 and let me know if you ever have any other questions

Interrail and Eurail are litreally same. ONly the website name is different. If you are EU citizen or resident, then it is interrail. If you are not, then it is Eurail. Originally the name derived from the concept from 1972. Many people in EU, use the word interrailing. So the name got kept like that.

You can add as many trips as you want any time during the travel day. If you change your mind about a route, you can delete it and add another trip right from the rail planner app

Yes, the person that commented below is correct. You can add or delete as many trips as you want if you have the unlimited travel pass. Sometimes I wouldn’t add it until 10 minutes before we were leaving because we were being very spontaneous but you can add them a week before a day before 10 minutes before it doesn’t really matter. And going along with that like I said you can delete any that you don’t want to take or just leave them there honestly if you don’t end up using them it doesn’t affect your pass at all

@@neroysc thanks, i have a question, if you could answer it would help me so much because i am leving in 5 days, i don't understand how the app counts the travel days, for example you said that you can add as many trips as you want on the my trip section, and then click the yellow button to see the ticket, but it is strange to me since you can only travel for 7 days in a month(i know it changes for everyone, this is just mine), thanks in advance

It depends on the train! I would say for the most part it gave you a specific seat but there were like 2-3 times we took a train that is sit wherever you want. It will say it on the ticket (and if it doesn't just as a conductor and he will let you know).

I got it like a month and a half before I left, I think but yeah its fine 4 weeks in advance! I got the e-pass so that everything was on my phone. Just seemed easier to me.

Can you teach us how do you do that please?

I have the same issue! Wait for your answer, Cristine. Thank you!

Same here, I’ll be traveling in summer and I’m afraid there’ll be no seats if I f don’t reserve in advance.

No, I don't think cancel it! I think keep it the way it is because better safe than sorry :)

Of course!

Wow! Thank you so much for saying that, it really does mean so much! That sounds like an amazing route, I want to go to Norway and Sweden one day! YEESSSSS! I can not emphasis that enough haha get the tickets as early as possible if they require a reservation. If the trains dont require a reservation if doesnt matter if you add it to your pass 3 days or 3 minutes beforehand. But if you need a reservation as soon as you get into that country I would stop at the train station tickets area and get your ticket because they do sell out quickly (especially when traveling to tourist hot spots). And keep in mind I have NOT been traveling during what is considered "peak season" so I'm sure its only going to get harder and harder to get them the day before you intend to leave. Yeah so it would say "train not in pass network" on one of our apps and on the other one it would be completely normal. When it says "train not in pass network" it doesnt let you add that route into your pass. Which was so frustrating the times it happened because we would want to get on a train at for example 8:00 am but it wouldn't let one of us add it and the next option was a train at like 3pm. There's honestly no way to fix it from what I have seen other than just choose a different train time that comes up without a glitch. I messaged Eurail about the issue because it happened twice to us and they said there didn't appear to be a problem with the route on their side so there was really no solution. But like I said this only happened twice in 2 months so hopefully you will get lucky and miss that issue. SORRY the response is so long, I wanted to answer everything thoroughly. Hope this helps and enjoy your trip!!

@@cristinalaura Actually, thanks for a thorough explanation of the glitch for those of us who have passes/apps in hand!

Hello buddy, did you do your Journey? I'm about to buy an Interrail pass as I save a nice cost of train tickets but the seat reservation keeps me back. I'll appreciate if you share with me your opinion after using your pass and how you booked your seats? Thanks

Of course! And really just depends on how much money you are willing to spend. It’s basically the difference between 1st class and 2nd on an airplane. It’s a bigger/cleaner/nicer spot but for me it wasn’t worth the extra money because I was on a budget haha.

I saw a few comments saying they figured out how to do it online (so if you can find one of those and figure out how to do it it would be super helpful for those situations). From my experience they did not let me do that :/ which wasn’t a big deal because most of the trains we took didn’t require reservations far in advance! But going to/from Paris or London you definitely need to get it ahead of time!

Your welcome! And yes!!!

Hahah that’s fair, it’s so complicated! Of course! That’s why I am making these so I can’t help someone choose whether they want to get it or it’s not worth it! Makes me happy to hear I helped you and good luck on your trip:)

Love your comment. Unfortunstely I bought a pass. This is what I just wrote. I swear to God. This rail planner app is the worst designed app I have ever come accross. I am watching this video trying to get some sense. I add a trip and save it to my trip. My app does not have a yellow bar to move. It only has edit. I use this to add to my pass but then I get asked for more infornation like an 8 digit pass ID which I dont have. And starts talking about having a paper pass. I am thinking of giving up on travelling. I was due to start July 7 but what with reservations and no eurostar booking possible I just feel harassed and ripped off. help.

@@colinellesmere you definitely have that yellow bar... The app is fine imo.

Could you help me with that? And Thanks again for this video!

Hello! So for the first question (at least in my experience) they only let you if it was on the route. For example, if you are starting in London and you are trying to get to Belgium but it has 3 stops in between you can do that. They wouldn’t let us if you are talking about different trips (like London to Belgium, then Paris to Copenhagen) etc! I hope that makes sense hahah. I’m kind of confused on the second question…? They usually just give you hard copies at the stations. Like printed tickets so you can can as many as you want! If that’s what you mean haha. Thanks for watching :)

YES! The QR code is your ticket except if you need a reservation. If a reservation is required, they will give you a printed train ticket whenever you buy it and you will show both to the train conductor if he checks tickets. But if no reservation required all you need is your QR code once you have added the journey you want to take.

What do you mean day of exit and entry? Like are you asking if it works on the first and last day orrr? Sorry I'm confused haha

Thank you! Amazing (Australia is a dream trip for me!). Yes, so I was traveling with my boyfriend who also had the Eurail, and this is how we did it. When one of us found the train we wanted to take (time+locations) the other person would just type the same thing into their app and save it to your journey. So, on each of your Eurail apps you should save the same journey (for example: Lisbon->Lagos from 10:04->11:30). When you go to a train station to reserve a seat you will all 4 show your Eurail barcode that has the same trip on it and they will book 4 seats next to each other. That way you all have a scannable Eurail ticket+seat next to each other. (I hope that makes sense hah). Someone on one of my videos commented that there is a way through a computer BUTTTTTT I never figured out how to do it and neither did my boyfriend. We both tried multiple times and nothing haha. If anything, maybe email Eurail and ask specifically but we always just went to the station because we found it wayyy easier. Yeah, its honestly a risk if you are trying to get a ticket the day of (worked like 50% of the time for us). If you do wait till day of, just be prepared to book an extra night to sleep because it might be full! Yes, you can take off ANY trips you add if that's what you mean (**if you got UNLIMITED travel**). Like you can add a trip from Barcelona to Sevilla and if you decide you don't want it anymore you can just delete it or even leave it there (it doesn't affect you adding more). I'm NOT SURE about linking/unlinking the actual pass but personally I added mine but just didn't activate it till I landed. But don't take my word on unlinking the actual pass because I don't know! Sorry this is so long! (I wanted to help as much as possible!) Just let me know if you are confused or have any more questions :)

@@cristinalaura thank you so much! this helps heaps. I only have the 7 days in one month pass so does that make a difference, I will only be able to add in trains for 7 days?

I can’t say for certain because it might count if you add it or if it’s actually scanned by a conductor. I would just be careful about what you add just in case! Sorry I can’t be more helpful!

I would say only if you do play on traveling a lot throughout those 2 months. If you are going to spend like 3 weeks in each place, I would say no but if you plan on going to 5+ places I think it would be worth it. It's hard to say though because we traveled a TON (19 cities and 10 countries) so not having the unlimited would have made no sense. Hope this helps a little!

Of course, I’m glad they are helping! I bought it through EURAIL directly!
