Italy night train reservation 2 people same cabin?

@Angelo 

Try the Austrian Railways site oebb.at. In the search there are 2 choices for interrail tickets -  you can search just for a seat or in the search open the passenger tool and add a discount code, Scroll down to the bottom of the short drop down list and find the more tab (May need a page scroll to show it). Interrail/Eurail is near the bottom of the long list. Confirm to choose it and then search for single fares.

If you add another passenger and choose discount as well it will seat you together.

One point is (I think) Italian night trains only offer double cabins to first class passengers.

A quick check on both oebb and trenitalia show it is fully booked.

From other posting somewhere I learnt that the surcharge for passes for real sleepers on ICN is so high (well over 50€ each) that if often is better to simply book normal included tickets.

But again: as /en/ is so unclear and hence the brits do not know the diff between real sleeper (letti) and couchette/cuccette (4 beds in IT-mixed sex-this means together but not normally in busy times private) this may also play havock. But as its full anyway-too late.

Thanks for the correction.

Please refrain from suggesting we Brits know nothing. 

I, for one, am fully aware of the differences on night trains between seats, couchettes, economy or comfort cabins and the few luxury cabins and their pricing structures.

It's too late now but for future travellers: Italian night trains can be booked at many ticket offices, by phone via Belgian railways (delivery via email) and online via Italiarail.
