    I represent a group of pee planning to travel from Geneva to Milan, via Brig, on rain EC39 on 31 January, 2024. We shall be travelling on Interrail tickets, first class, which we expect to purchase in October.I have spoken with your representative today but want to confirm the costs and, just in case, reservation refund arrangements.I understand seat reservations are 2ch per person, once booked is ths refundable and if so under what terms (notice)?We wish to eat whilst ravelling and book seats in the Restaurant or Bistro car. Your agent informs me there is a "charge" of 1550ch, entirely acceptable but again is this refundable prior to the journey.#As you may understand I am making as many arrangements as early as possible to ensure we can travel and enjoy the journey.

    Book a seat with a saver day pass

    If I buy a saver day pass, do I need to book a seat? Or can I just get on the train and sit in a random seat?
    And I see that some trains, such as EC trains, require a Mandatory Place Reservation. Do I need to reserve a seat even if I have a saver day pass? If so, how do I reserve a seat and how do I pay for it?
