trenitalia booking question
This is an obscure one. Maybe Barbara or Luca will know.
We're a party of 5 looking to buy tickets--and Trenitalia will sell them online, so that people can print them at home. The only 'discount' I can find that is applicable is the Oferta Famiglia, which will allow one child under 12 to travel free with two paying adults. That would mean actually only paying for four seats. But when I try to book it, the website will indeed sell three seats for the price of two--but only as one transaction--there is no provision for booking two more seats in the same transaction, so that the 3 and 2 can get reservations and sit together. Is there any way seat assignments in two separate bookings to be together when booking online? Are there any other things to watch out for when booking tickets online at Trenitalia? |

First, choose the train you want and click on the shopping basket. In the next page, showing the details of the train and making you choose how many ticket you want, there is a line "per altre tariffe, sconti e promozioni": click on "clicca qui". The special offers page opens: select two places "intera" in the left column *and* three places with "offerta famiglia" in the right column. This should give you four adults paying and a free child in a single reservation. Choose the class, first or second (selezionare la classe) and go on. I didn't finalize my try, but it looks it is possible. -- Luca Logi - Firenze - Italy e-mail: Home page: http://www.angelfire.com/ar/archivarius (musicologia pratica) |
