    Is a seat reservation included in a VR long-distance ticket?

    Knowing where you will sit before you board.

    Short answer

    VR says Eko class is its least expensive travel class and is found on all long-distance trains. On InterCity and Pendolino trains, a seat reservation is always included in the price of an Eko class ticket. Eko class also has coaches with pet areas and seats next to the children's play area, which you can choose from the coach map. Holders of a long-distance season ticket can book a seat in the app free of charge, but VR says that reservation is voluntary.
