I am trying to book Koln to Strasbourg- we change in Offenburg. The first leg is an ICE train - if I select first class, It doesn't give me a choice to select my seats- I only really care bc I am traveling as a family and want to make sure we are besides each other and one of us doesn't have to stand (that happened on 2 hour ride from Boppard to Frankfurt - and it was crowded and miserable. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe I will just book second class family compartment (we have a 6 year old)- but for an extra 10 euro total we could get first class so wanted to opt for that
thanks!
edit - I was able to go back in and search originally for first class seats and it gives me the option to reserve seats for a fee- I though a seat reservation was included with first class- obviously I must be wrong.
