Please note: Seat numbers are randomly distributed when booking tickets online. Therefore, on paper, you are not guaranteed to travel together if you have booked multiple tickets. It is therefore once on board that we negotiate its placement between passengers. In any case, remember to print one ticket per passenger in case you are not in the same car in the end.
Tip: When booking your tickets in AC 2 class, if you want to be together and installed upstairs in the cabin, tick 1 seat in “Upper” and 1 seat in “Side Lower”. You will thus increase the chance of being nearby if you are two travelers.
