Hi

Looking at seat reservations from Bologna to Salzburg ( via Innsbruck) for June 17th. The Raileurope site says “Seat reservation has to be done at station”. It’s the 9:52 am  Railjet #86. Not sure what this means - that I have to wait until I get to Bologna on that day and hope there are seats? 

Any insights welcome.

You can buy both the reservation aswell as the supplement from ÖBB online.

It is 3€ for the reservation and 10€ for the supplement. (For the supplement you have to select interrail as a discount and not select the just seat reservation option)

Thanks Marvin!

I just checked the OBB site. I can see where to book the seat reservation and the Eurail/ Interrail dropdown option. But the supplement is not mentioned. It is €6 for reservation. See screen shot below. How do I include the supplement? Thanks so much. Jon

You have indicated "seat reservations only ". If you unclick that box, you should see the supplement.

Don’t tick the seat reservation only’ box. That’s only if you already have the correct ticket with supplement.

If you have the rail pass added for both passengers, you should see a price of €20 for this train when you untick the box. That’s for the supplements only. You can get the optional reservation for another €6.

Thanks Anna. So the supplement is listed as “Aufpreis” and for two travellers it is 20€ + 6€.

Thank you Marvin and Anna for your help - not a very logical system to navigate !

Cheers
