Rail&Fly: where to buy the reservation for City Night Line trains at Deutsche Bahn? [closed]

I have a plane ticket including a rail@fly ticket for the Deutsche Bahn (DB). I want to use a City Night Line train, which has a compulsory reservation.

But where can I find this reservation option? I’ve read in many places that I have to go to www.bahn.de, but that is not very detailed. I cannot find an option to insert my rail@fly ticket and only pay for the reservation.

How do I have to do this?

Best Answer

On the home page add the route and time you are going to travel. Click Search. On the 'Select' step, there is a button 'Change Query' below the connections, click it, this brings you to a bigger form which towards the bottom has 'Reservation for seat only (no ticket)' tick that. Pick your train and go for 'Reversation'. You can then book without registering and pick your seat/berth. I don't think you need to enter the ticket number as long as it is the same train you should be fine.

Answer 2

First go to http://citynightline.de and click on the map to start the query. Enter the stop at which you want to enter the night train and the one at which you want to get off the train. Then click "search". When you found your night train, click on "check availability". A price list will appear with the regular prices. Since you have a rail&fly ticket already, you can click onto "Book only extra charge" next to the regular booking button. The web site will ask you if you have a "pass" or a "normally priced ticket". No clue which is the correct one here. At the end of the booking process, you can enter your credit card information and will receive a PDF with the ticket that you need to print out.
