My wife and I each have first-class passes for travel in Italy this summer. In making our seat reservations, we were apparently randomly assigned to seats rather than getting seats next to each other. Any way to rectify this? If we’re stuck with those for now, how do we avoid it on future reservations? Grazie.

Hello
Could you indicate us the seat numbers and the route? It is not possible to avoid such situations if no other seats are available in the train. If you reserve seats on raileurope.com, it is sometimes possible to select them on a plan.
If there are seats available next to each other you will get that. If you not are assigned seats next to each other, no such were available.
Pisa to La Spezia 18 June 953, car 2 (1st class) 13C and 6D
Florence to Venice 19 June 1020, car 2 (1st class business) 1D and 18D
Venice to Florence 23 June 1138, car 2 (1st class business) 7D and 4A
Seats are not contiguous. I asked because in some trains the numbers may be confusing. You should ask other passengers if an exchange would be possible.
That’s the plan. Fortunately we will both bring lots of books. Thank you for your guidance, Danhiel
I have sometimes found that if you book on the train company website instead of Raileurope.com you can pick from a seating plan.
Good luck

Trenitalia do not offer standalone or passholder reservations, if they did you can be sure we would advise people to book there.
Thanks for that update.
But www.raileurope.com is currently a very good replacement for almost all train company websites which do not sell passholder reservations (Italy, France, Spain, Eurostar). Raileurope offers also seat choice for passholders in Italy and no booking fees.
