Austria / ÖBB - Eurail Seat Reservations
Austria
Reservations in Austria are optional for all domestic and international day connections. For all Railjet trains seat reservations are also optional, but highly recommended. For night trains (ÖBB Nightjet) reservations are mandatory.
Westbahn trains (WB) accept Eurail passes. Reservations for WB trains can currently not be booked via Happyrail, we are working on making this possible later in 2024.
