I’m planning a trip to Belgium/Germany/Switzerland/Austria/Czech Republic in early June and I have a couple of questions about train travel:

1) How necessary is it to book a reservation if I already have a Eurail pass?

2) How do you feel about night trains for long trips rather than paying for a place to sleep? splurge on a couchette or no?

3) Can you ever sneak into first class or a couchette if you have a reservation in second class?

2) How vigilant are the conductors about stamping the passes? I’ve heard that you can sometimes slip by without anyone marking your pass for that trip…

I’m not trying to be sneaky – I just want to be "thrifty"
Thanks!

A transport question so it’s being moved there.
