Why some journeys require seat reservations and why do I need to pay for it?

The necessity to book the seats results from the willingness of carriers to provide safety and convenience to all passengers. The reservation fee usually includes the ability to travel by faster trains, wide seast, additional legroom and free WiFi. In some cases, travelers traveling with an Interrail ticket can use the meals, drinks and newspapers free of charge. Book a place to have peace of mind and confidence that you will reach your destination in comfortable conditions. It is worth to keep this in mind especially during the holiday season when certain train routes are busier than usual. You can always choose a train that doesn’t require reservation, for instance trains going via smaller towns that may be equally interesting and no less picturesque than the main trails.
