Hello,
We are planning to visit Poland from the US in April 2024 and are looking for some advice about booking and taking intercity trains in Poland.
I was planning to use the Koleo app. Seems very user friendly. Can anyone confirm that once purchasing a ticket on Koleo is the e-ticket emailed to the email address on file and also available on the app? And is this typically fine to show (printed out or on phone) as proof of having purchased a ticket?
I also see that the app asks for passport or other ID info as optional when booking. Any issues with leaving that blank? Of course we'd have our passport available to show as ID long with the ticket when we are on the train.
The other question is regarding the differences between 1st and 2nd class. Most of our trains will be the IC type. From what I can see from the carriage seating arrangement, it looks like 1st class has 3 seats in a row (ie a middle seat) and 2nd class has 2 sets of 2 seats with an aisle between. Is that correct? We are traveling as 2 people, so although I’d like the comfort of 1st class, the seating arrangement might be more desirable with 2nd class. Any thoughts?
On the EIP high-speed train I see the difference is the 1st class has a 1-2 seating arrangement and the 2nd class is 2-2, so that makes sense.
Thanks for the help!
