Hi!

In may I will travel to Amsterdam. I have to decide between buying the ticket on the öbb nightjet website or buying the interrail (for the comodity of using it to travel in the netherlands during my stay).

I have to know the total cost of the interrail (4 days package) included the seat reservation. If I look in the timetable of the app it says I don’t have to book a seat for the nightjet (Zurich-Amsterdam and return) but on the öbb website the seat reservation is required. If I choose a ticket in the öbb website it shows me the TOTAL COST so I don’t have an idea of the cost for the couchette resevation ONLY. 

I need to know the cost of ONLY the couchette resevation. The information are nowhere to find…

Can someone please help me :-) 

Thank you!

Add interrail/eurail as a discount on the obb or nightjet website and you will get the prices for passholder reservations.

Please note that the reservation cost for sleepers and couchettes on the ÖBB night jet are dynamic so the cost increases closer to departure. 

Please note that I don't work for Interrail/Eurail and that I don't reply to personal messages.

If you check the details, you should find that reservations are optional for IC 60403 and are required for NJ 403. The IC only has seats, while the NJ has couchettes and sleepers.

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.
