You surely took a Westbahn train (private company) and not a OBB (national company) train. On Westbahn trains Interrail/Eurail passes are indeed only valid in 2nd class (strange rule I agree). As long as you take OBB trains tomorrow, you’ll have no problem finding seats. On bahn.de (reliable planner) Westbahn trains are marked as WB Edit : you can make a seat reservation on tickets.oebb.at (no booking fee) if you want. They’re free for 1st class pass users Thankyou so much. It is all so confusing and no humans to ask questions at stations. Must admit finding it very challenging when the only language I speak is English.
It was from vienna to hallstatt. They said eurail first class had to sit in 2nd class or had to pay extra to enter their first class cabin. Something about being a private train which i dont understand. As there were no seats, we had to stand. Whats the point in purchasing first class then. Am I going to have the same problem travelling to Innsbruck tomorrow from Hallstatt?
