I am on the 11.20am EC 52 from Milan to Frankfurt today I did not make a seat reservation and sat in a seat that stated it was available
The train conductor ( who was very rude) has just charged me €23 euros saying I had to pay this or else I would be thrown off the train at the next station!
I am a 54 year old interailer ( teacher ) in first class and I think this is just a money making exercise by Trentalia
First class on this train is also very poor compared to other countries trains.
Is this correct that this payment is mandatory?
In my opinion the cost of seat reservations spoils the whole Interail experience as it increases the cost massively
