Booking Train question

mixiebug · Oct 27th, 2009, 22:59

Hi,

I'm trying to book 2 train tickets from New Delhi to Agra. While I'm booking them, I was asked to choose 'Window' or 'No Choice' seat. I just want to make sure I'm sitting next to my friend on the train. Do I choose one ticket to "window" and one ticket to "no choice"? Please advice.

Thanks!

Hm. I don't think there's any way to guarantee you'll be seated right next to one another; if you book your tickets in one go, you should be seated as close to one another as possible though.

You can always ask fellow passengers to switch, this is quite common.

From your information I assume that you try to book CC-class tickets. In that case you idea probably will work.

My experience with on-line booking is that, assuming it are not the last seats, you get what you want.

The seat numbers are on the tickets and somewhere on this site http://www.seat61.com/India.htm#classes is a seat-numbering plan. So check the result.

Give a window and middle seat option. As rightly said by another member, if they are not the last few seats available, you will get next to each other.

Even if you dont, you can change in the train. Generally people are accomodative.

You can change it with other fellow passengers in the train itself. I have lots of experience in it.
