Countries where the 1st Class Pass worths the money in my experience is UK,Sweden,Austria,Switzerland, Germany (due the panoramic 1st Class coach on the EC8,EC9 in the Rhine Valley 😃 ) Seewulf, I have a first class pass and am on Bahn.de and although I can see how I can buy just a reservation, I’m struggling to see how I can select a carriage and seat to ensure that we get in the panoramic carriage on EC8. Can you please help? I must be missing something….
Seewulf, I have a first class pass and am on Bahn.de and although I can see how I can buy just a reservation, I’m struggling to see how I can select a carriage and seat to ensure that we get in the panoramic carriage on EC8. Can you please help? I must be missing something…. Coach number 263 is the panoramic coach (in both trains), so make sure you book in that one, after clicking on "Select seat”. I can't find the select seat button/ link! Please help :)
On Bahn.de. for 18 March 23. I just tried on the app and I can't see how to book only reservations on there at all. But maybe I need some more sleep! Thank you.
Thank you both, for your help. I will make a note to check again 8 and 6 weeks prior. Really appreciate your speedy responses.
Thank you so much. I’ve sent ÖBB a message and I will also check again on 25/01 if I don’t hear back.
Thank you, I did think it was the case that we don’t need a reservation in either direction.
FYI I have heard back: After the international timetable change that took place in winter. All the tickets are not updated in our online site and it will take some time. The tickets can be booked in the next few weeks.
FYI I didn’t end up booking but this is open for booking now.
For anyone who sees this… You can now make seat reservations on the EC8 in coach 263 for 18 March 23. You do have to change trains for the last few minutes to Cologne’s main station.
See here: https://www.glacierexpress.ch/fileadmin/user_upload/GEX/PDFs/221201_GEX_Speisekarte.pdf except for soup they seem to have enough vegan options I saw that menu but it's not clear to me whether those meals are actually vegan or not. E.g. they may use butter in the cooking. Unless I'm missing something?
Well, I thought someone here might have been on the glacier express and might know. But thanks for your help!
Thank you both - really helpful
Yes, my challenge is that my sleeper booking is from Salzburg.
Yes, my challenge is that my sleeper booking is from Salzburg. You can just enter Augsburg-Zagreb or Rosenheim-Zagreb on the ÖBB website. I am not sure what you mean - I have already booked and paid for a sleeper from Salzburg to Zagreb.

I am not sure what you mean - I have already booked and paid for a sleeper from Salzburg to Zagreb. That was not clear from your previous posts. In that case, you could either book a new reservation and cancel the first one (is possible until 15 days prior to 1st day of validity, so today). Or you just board in Augsburg. The price is the same so it doesn't really matter. Thank you. In the email that came with the reservation it seemed to say that I couldn’t cancel a seat reservation, only a standard booking. But you are correct, so I have cancelled and rebooked as you suggested.
Don't be shy and let us know about your challenge.
