Hello, I am planning to travel with family of 5 persons. Looks like seat reservation costs are per person per train. Going from The Netherlands to south of Spain will take 3 high speed trains to Madrid.
- Amsterdam - Paris €35
- Paris - Barcelona €35
- Barcelona - Madrid €10 or €23,50 => €20
- TOTAL €90
=> Are these costs per seat or per reservation of 5 seats ?
If it is per seat, that would be 5 persons x €90 x 2 (return trip) = €900 for seat reservations only !!!
Are there ways to minimize these costs??
