About Train Tickets
    [1]A train ticket is a travel document valid for a single journey between two cities.
    There are essentially two types of train tickets in Europe: tickets that come with a reservation and tickets that do not include a reservation, also known as open tickets. It’s important for you to understand their specifics. So, please follow my instruction and learn more about them.
    First—the train tickets that come with a reservation. [2]They come two ways: as a single combined document or as a ticket issued with a separate reservation. A single document that is both the train ticket and the reservation specifically [3]indicates the train number, train time, car number and seat number that you have been assigned. These tickets are only valid for the train indicated on it, and you must occupy the seat that was specifically assigned to you. You cannot use these train tickets to board another train—even on the same route, and you cannot get off and on the train along the way.
    In the case of separate train tickets and reservations, [4]you will receive two distinct travel documents: the open ticket and a separate reservation. If for some reason you cannot use the reservation portion of your train ticket if you miss your train, lost the reservation or simply change your plans, the
    open ticket portion of your train ticket remains valid. You may either purchase a new separate reservation to board a train that requires one, [5]or use just the open ticket portion you already have to board a train on the same route that is "reservation recommended" or a train that does not require reservations.
    Now for the second category of train tickets: tickets that don’t include a reservation, also known as open tickets. [6]These train tickets are valid for a specific route and can be used to board any train that runs on this route that does not require a reservation. It’s quite flexible because you can decide which train to take after you’ve bought the train tickets. With open tickets, you do not have a pre-assigned seat. [7]You can sit in any available seat in the class of service your train ticket was issued for. In most cases, the ticket you get is based on the route you’ll be taking. You do not have a choice in most instances.
    Now, let’s review the possible ways you’ll get the tickets. Train tickets bought from Rail Europe can be issued in one of three ways: [8]One, paper ticket printed by Rail Europe. [9]Two, print at home e-ticket as a PDF, or issued with a unique e-ticket confirmation code along with your photo ID. [10]Three, print at the station e-ticket. Its e-ticket confirmation code is created and communicated to you at the time of purchase. You need to print the actual paper ticket from a self service kiosk at the rail station prior to your train’s departure.
    To enjoy your trip on the train, remember to physically show your train ticket to the conductor onboard at the time of ticket control or upon check in. For more information, you can check our website. Thank you.
