Note: Reservation

When purchasing your 1st class standard ticket in the online ticket shop, in the ÖBB App or at the ticket counter, a seat reservation is included. Since your ticket is not bound to a specific train, you still have the option of choosing a train other than your current one, in which case your reservation will be forfeited. It is also possible to purchase a 1st class standard ticket on a fully reserved train, but this does not include a reservation. Because it is generally not possible to make reservations at ticket machines, we cannot include them in the 1st class offer.

On the train, the First Class offers more amenities than the Second/Economy Class.
