At which seats can I check in and what do I need to bear in mind? 

In principle, you can check in to all regular and freely available seats that do not overlap with other reservations. If you are a BahnBonus Gold or Platinum customer, you can also check in to the exclusive seating area. You can find details of seats that support Komfort Check-in below.
You can check in at any seats that meet the following criteria:

  • The seats are free, i.e. not occupied by other passengers or a check-in.
  • The seats are regular seats, i.e. not special seats such as those for the disabled, or seats in the bistro car or on-board restaurant.
  • If you are a BahnBonus Gold or Platinum status customer, you can use seats in the exclusive BahnBonus seating area.
  • The reservation display shows "ggf. freigeben" (express reservation seats) if you have reserved them.
  • If the seats have already been reserved by other passengers, you can still use them if the reservation does not overlap with your journey.
  • The seats are arranged facing forwards or backwards to the direction of travel. Komfort Check-in is not possible on seats arranged sideways, for example, such as those in the double-decker IC2 multi-purpose compartment.
