ÖBB train no reservation seats

Upvote:5

Apparently, the reservation period for EC330, at least at the moment, only starts 30 days before the scheduled departure day, although Czech railways (České dráhy, CD) usually allow reservation up to 60 days in advance. But many operational factors, especially unpredictable for certain international routes, may impact when the reservation opens. The exact time for the opening of the reservation period may vary significantly.

It is possible to book a reservation for EC330 departure on October 21, 2022 on both OBB and CD. However, if I try October 22, 2022, the CD website prompts that "the booking period for this reservation has not yet begun or has already expired." (This answer is written on September 21, 2022.)

If no reservation is possible at all, e.g. for certain regional trains, CD website would display "Cannot be reserved", instead of prompting being outside of the reservation period.

Reservation is not mandatory on EC330, you may simply take any non-reserved seats (if available) when getting on the train. Of course, if there are a lot of travellers on a particular day, there is a chance that you will have to stand during part of the journey
