All other train travel questions / OeBB Nightjet seats compartment?
« on: December 10, 2018, 03:44:58 am »
OeBB's Nightjets offer sleepers, couchettes, and seats compartments as accommodation choices. It seems I can book a whole seats compartment for myself (Hamburg-Zurich) if I want. But the photos of the nightjet.com website show armrests between the seats. Are these armrests movable? My interest is being able to lie down across one row of seats if I can -- cheaper than a couchette with more privacy.

In the 1970's in compartments on some trains had opposing seats that could be pulled together or nearly together. This made a makeshift bed that one could lie on. Is this possible on present day OeBB Nightjet trains?

Three of us will be traveling from Prague to southern Bavaria in June.  I almost bought a Bayern-Boehmen Ticket from DB for the portion Plzen onward until I read the fine print about qualifying ČD trains.  The most convenient departure from Prague, at 0914, appears not to be on a qualifying train, the EC 354 Franz Kafka, until it enters Germany and becomes a qualifying ALX train.

1.  Is my interpretation of this restriction on this ČD train correct?  If so, I'll just buy a Bayern Ticket instead, for the German portion for the three of us.

2.  To avail ourselves of the cheap domestic ČD fares, I'd then like to buy domestic tickets Praha - Furth i Wald (Gr) for that train, but I can't seem to do that through the ČD Online shop.  Are tickets for this stretch available through the ČD ticket machines at Praha Hlavni? 

3.  Or would I have to buy them in person at the station?  And if so, is there a surcharge for buying in person?

4.  If I can't buy domestic tickets for Praha - Furth i Wald (Gr), I"m thinking about buying domestic tickets for Praha - Domazlice, then short haul international tickets Domazlice - Furth i Wald Bahnhof for the same train.  Does this sound feasible?

5.  If anyone has any ideas about how I could minimize the costs further, please let me know.  Thanks!
