Hi,
I'm having trouble with a return train seat via the Trenitalia website (which I've used in the past with no trouble). I keep getting an error code that there are no seats. I've changed options as far as fare classe...super Economy, Economy, Premium Economy. I've tried both "choose my seats" and the option to be given a random seat.
(this is for RT Venezia-Firenze). The train to Florence is no problem, it's only the return train.
I went on the Italiarail website (which I've never used) and have no trouble getting a 2nd class seat on the return train to Venice (and no trouble Venice-Florence in the morning).
Are the same trains used only these are 2 different companies which you can buy tickets? They appear to be as departure and arrival times are the same.
I believe that buying train tickets now is much like buying airline tickets...depending on the time of day you are searching options can change!
Has anyone bought tickets via Italiarail or should I keep checking Trenitalia? both take PayPal which I prefer for these tickets.
Thank you,
Mindy
