I’ve just been ticket checked on a Railjet between Innsbruck & Kufstein.

Sitting in First Class (not Business) with a first class pass.

The guard insisted I should have paid a supplement of €15 for any Railjet journey. He said he’d let me off, since it was a short journey.

I’m pretty sure he’s wrong, and the supplement only applies in Business Class? Or has something changed recently?

Your RJX is coming from Italy but you shouldn't have to pay 15€. As far as I know the supplement only applies to the cross-border section (Brenner).

Ah, I hadn’t thought that it might have originated in Italy. But I agree that the supplement should not apply if I joined the train in Austria.

He was clear that I’d boarded in Innsbruck, and still adamant that I should’ve paid.
