1st and 2nd Class Passes
1st class passes are the normal full adult fare, although there
are discounts for children and groups traveling together. In general,
1st class travel is more spacious and quieter than 2nd class travel. 1st
class seats are usually larger with reclining backs and more legroom than
2nd class seats. In a typical 1st class train car, there are usually 2
seats on one side of the aisle and one seat on the other. In compartment
car seating, the cabins accommodate up to 6 passengers (instead of 8).
2nd class passes are an affordable way to travel Europe and
is the way most Europeans themselves travel. 2nd class seating usually
has 2 seats on either side of the aisle. In compartment car seating,
2nd class cabins accommodate up to 8 passengers while 2nd class sleepers
have 2-3 beds (instead of 1). Couchettes are considered 2nd class travel,
and accommodate 4-6 people. Sleeperettes, reclining seats, are also
included in this category.
