Hello again! 

We're moving on from Zurich to Vienna on July 28. Attached is our seat reservation. Are we facing forward? Thank you 💖

At the top left of that seat reservation selection is a arrow showing the travel direction. (although there are other trains where the direction of travel can change during the trip)

You can't tell if you're facing forwards or backwards on these trains. Here you've 2 selected seats on a bay of 4, facing two strangers. 

I would recommend you get a direct train from Zürich to Vienna though at either 08:32 or 10:32. These trains invert their travel direction in Buchs.

Thank you Marvin. So my selection of seat 51 and 53, we are facing backwards, correct? Here's a screenshot of the arrow. I should pick 52 and 54 instead.

Thank you Schelte. I did not realize there is a direct train. Just saw it. Thank you so much😊

You should be able to cancel your original reservation and get a full refund, since it's more than 15 days in the future.
