Hi,

I am trying to book a ticket from Luzern to Interlaken on 14th May morning, 

It says reservation is not required, so if I am not purchasing this seat reservation then,

  1. If seat reservations are unnecessary, can I just board a first-class compartment and choose any seat which is free(available)?
  1. If yes, how can I identify vacant seats as I travel from one point to another?
  1. If no, where can I find seating without having to stand for the duration of the journey, considering that I haven't purchased a seat reservation?

1 Yes, board the train and find a free seat. Swiss people never make seat reservations. 

2/3 Reserved seats should be indicated with a display or note saying from where to where the seat is reserved.

These reservations are just a waste of money IMO. Only part of the seats in this train can be booked and indeed the Swiss themselves don't book.

Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.

@AnnaB @rvdborgt  This means that I can board into a first class compartment as well ?

Sure, if you have a first class pass, then you can sit on any free seat.
