Hi All, I am Terri from Canada! This will be my first time using the trains. most all my previous travel has been for work, and tagging on a few days here and there to sitesee. I am excited to explore Europe with my husband, and enjoying trip planning for the summer as it is currently been -40C with the windchill here all week!

Do couchette/sleeper car reservations become available at a diff date than 180 days beforehand?

I can also get from DRESDEN to BERLIN on same route: So WHY can't I get it from Praha 😣😥😴

Its crazy, bc the stop before (Pardubice), you CAN get the sleeper/couchette! In fact several stops before you can, so the whole “don’t wake other up by stopping” seems refuted…. rather it seems, you can’t get a sleeper outside of austria? Does anyone have an english speaking support number? The OBB is all german….This canadian is unfortunately only good at anglais….

Thanks for all the helps!Here’s a thought: Could you book a journey starting at an earlier station, but get on midway and goto your sleeper car? Would they yell at you or not allow it?Could i pay for the entire length of sleeper car, but only sleep in it for part? (I know this is possible, though sometimes discouraged for flying)

I’ve always adored dancing then sleeping on a night transit (train or plane). As a Canadian, we really have to maximize this trip (esp cuz via waivers n extra such additions to manage in coming years). The day trains get us into berlin late, 11am , almost half the day gone… which with only 1 day to sitesee, and most museums closing by 6pm, doesn’t give us much time to get around. :( Do they have redbull in Europe? I sense we will dance dance dance (not big drinkers) and pass out in those chairs if it comes down to it….. (I know there’s lot of regulations what a person can ingest these days… Pls let me know! LOL)

(It’s my husbands birthday the day we’re travelling, so really want to find way to take him out to celebrate before heading out to Berlin!)

It also blows my mind splitting and changing cars and boarding bikes doesn’t wake people but boarding a private car does…. but hey, i didn't make the rules right? Maybe i’ll take the european sleeper instead… its same trip and does have sleeper cars and noone to disturb….. though it shows 3 night trains on the map so i must be missing one option….

@MartinM - on the map I provided, I did try other stations in prague but with the same result (I had seen a post work was being done to the central tracks and some rerouting happening) So my question to the experts is: If I’m “waking up half the train” boarding in the middle…. Where is the beginning??? Is there somewhere you can suggest i check to try boarding earlier? Because i’m not seeing anything before that. Need help pls!

I am seeing that in my booking options, its only listing a seat. I just can’t figure out iof the sleeper/couchette will be available at a later date, or just never at all. From this link, i know the train HAS sleeper cars…. but how to get one i cannot find!https://live.oebb.at/train-info?trainNr=456&date=2024-07-15&station=5400201&time=03%3A05

The alternative would be the earlier train, but it also shows no offers for ANY dates?!?!?

But its a night jet? Don’t they ALL have sleepers? I was planning to go out dancing, then sleep all the way back. are there any other nightjets that dont actually have sleeper cars i should be wary of?This might've destroyed my entire trip plan….

If less than 180 days - why won't it let me book?

I even tested days in May - they are definitely way less than 180 and STILL it won’t give the option to buy! WTF?!
