Hi everyone,

my name is Emanuele and together with a friend of mine, I won an Interrail pass with the Discover Eu programm. We are now planning our trip and thought of taking an ÖBB Nighttrain (Amsterdam-Innsbruck) where a seat reservation is mandatory. Since we obviously want to have our seats next to each others, I kindly wanted to ask if this is possible and, if yes, which steps we have to follow to be seated next to each other.

Thanks for helping! :)

Just book together and in cases of Sleepers have in mind asless you doesnt book a own compartment the travelers will be seperated according the sex they have.

Means if you book a double slepper reservation you will have a own compartment just for both of you.
Couchette and Seating carriage are mixed :)

Best is to book via tickets.oebb.at. Do NOT use the "Seat only” option but add the "Interrail / Eurail” discount to each passenger and then look for normal tickets. Seat reservations are 14€; couchettes and sleeper more of course.
