Family in a Ladies only Couchette? (OBB)

Hi, I’m getting conflicting information from OBB so would really appreciate some advice.

We are a family of 4 (mother, father + 2 boys (12, 8)) and would like to travel on the nightjet from Brussels to Salzburg.  It’s a popular route and it appears there is only a 4 person ‘Ladies only” couchette available. 

  • I’ve spoken to OBB twice; one adviser said we would have to be split up (at great expense) but another said as we were occupying the whole couchette it wouldn’t be a problem.

Can anyone advise if the whole carriage is “Ladies only”?  If not, it seems strange that this would be a problem given we would be the only occupants of the 4 person couchette?

 

Thanks

Damian

Booking a private compartment for your group’s exclusive use is different to booking 4 people spaces in a 4 bed, the latter will depending on space remaining not necessarily have you in the same compartment so you cannot book males in the female only category.

If you give the date we can check what is available and see if what you want is possible but the very fact that there is only remaining availability in Female only suggests the train is already heavily booked and very unlikely to have a completely vacant compartment.
