Before your trip
-
What type of ID is considered valid for transport?
A valid travel ID depends on the travel company and destination. In most cases, a passport is the best form of identification to bring when travelling. Some travel companies may also accept a national ID card.
-
Can I book special seats (wheelchair space, animals allowed, etc.)?
It depends on the travel company and the facilities that they offer. If you require a special seat, it is best to contact the travel company directly prior to your departure date to organize this.
-
Can I choose my seat?
Not all travel companies allow passengers to choose their seats during the booking process. When booking tickets for multiple passengers, seats are automatically assigned together whenever possible, depending on seat availability.
If your group is seated separately, this is usually due to limited seating availability at the time of booking. To check whether you can change your seat reservation, please contact our Customer Service team.
-
Do I need to pay extra for seat reservations?
Each travel company has its own seat reservation policy. In many cases, seat reservations are included in the ticket price, but some travel companies may apply an extra fee for seat selection.
If a travel company does not offer reserved seats, you can sit in any available seat during your journey.
-
What is the address of the station?
You can find the address of your departure and arrival station on your ticket. We recommend reviewing your ticket carefully to confirm the station details before travelling.
If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service team for assistance.
-
How many bags can I take on my flight?
For certain airlines, you will be able to add the required amount of luggage you need during the booking process. We recommend checking the airline's website for more details on baggage allowances since luggage policies vary depending on the airline you are travelling with.
Generally, at least one piece of hand luggage is allowed on board free of charge. Some airlines, however, only allow a smaller piece, such as a computer case or a handbag, which will have to be stowed underneath the seat.
In regards to checked baggage, different fees apply according to the weight and the number of pieces.
If you want to travel with larger luggage, please make sure to contact the airline directly before your departure date to arrange any necessary details.
-
Can I fly with my pet?
If you want to travel with your pet, you will need to contact the airline directly.
There may be different regulations in place regarding which animals can be transported, depending on which countries you are flying to and from. Each airline has its own conditions and policies regarding flying with pets.
Please note that researching which vaccinations and health documentation is required before purchasing your ticket or travelling.
-
Can I take my bike/musical instrument/sports equipment?
If you wish to travel with extra luggage, such as sports or musical equipment, you will likely have to pay an additional surcharge. We recommend contacting the relevant travel company directly to check that this service is available.
