In organizing its offers, PKP Intercity is making reductions to the price list for tickets for journeys in the popular couchette cars. From 10 September a passenger travelling in a four-place or six-place couchette (with bedding), will pay PLN 8 less. The price of places in couchettes for passengers of up to 26 and over 60 years of age will fall by PLN 10.50.

Charges for additional tickets
in a couchette car with bedding	Former price	New price
in a four-place compartment	PLN 71	PLN 63
in a six-place compartment	PLN 61	PLN 53
special offer* in a six-place compartment * - for people of up to 26 and over 60 years of age	PLN 50,50	PLN 40

“The price list change is aimed at reducing the disproportion between two products, that is, the couchette with bedding and the so-called Cheap Couchette,” says Marcin Celejewski, PKP Intercity S.A. board member for commercial affairs. “As a result, we will be increasing access to couchettes of a higher level of comfort.”

 

Ticket pricing for the Cheap Couchette offer is being made more realistic. A ticket for a place in a six-person compartment without bedding (the ticket including a single-use sheet) now costs PLN 33 (previously PLN 25.50). The Cheap Couchette price list was last changed five years ago.

***
A carriage with places for lying, a so-called couchette, is a passenger car with compartments which are fitted with couches, for travel during the day and at night. The cost of a journey in a couchette includes the price of a ticket as well as an additional ticket for the place to be occupied (reservation). These can be purchased via the e-IC online ticket sales system, at ticket windows (through both of these channels no later than two hours before the departure of the train from the starting station) and – while places are available – from a WARS steward directly. WARS is responsible for the sleeping car service and is a PKP Intercity subsidiary.
