Seat Reservations for Passholders and Open Ticket holders
Train reservations, also known as seat reservations, are at times required or recommended for holders of a rail pass or train ticket.
When a seat reservation or supplement is required, the cost is not included in the pass. The seat reservation cost varies depending on the country, type of train and date of purchase and travel. A train reservation can be made per person, per train for a nominal fee and is only valid for use on the specific train, date and time for which it was purchased.
Traveling with a rail pass? Some routes require that you reserve a seat so book now and arrive prepared.
Traveling in high-season? Please note that on some trains the number of seats for pass holders is limited so reserve your seats well in advance.
On a tight schedule? Have the peace of mind that you are guaranteed a seat on the train of your choice.
