Reservations for First Class Global for Countries: France, Spain, Portugal from Austria


Hello,

i want to travel from austria to France, Spain and Portugal this year. I am thinking about to buy the first class ticket. 
 

Do I have to make a separate seat reservation for 1st class? 
When yes, is the price for seat reservations for 1st and 2nd class same?

Kind Regards

France and Spain are the worst two Countries for rail pass travel - compulsory reservation for most trains you will take, and the reservations are pretty pricey.

Reckon on €10-20 for domestic TGVs in France, €10 for Intercity, €35 for the TGV to Spain. Generally, first class reservations for these journeys are the same price as second. Usually bookable online.

In Spain, it’s more expensive - €10-25 for anything other than a local train. Even most regional and local trains need reservations for a few euros, and they are difficult to buy.


Portugal is compulsory for the fastest AP and Intercity trains, but only costs €5.
