1. Seat reservation

A seat reservation entitles you to a specific seat on the train.
As payment for the journey itself, a ticket must therefore be purchased either separately or in the same purchase as a seat reservation.

When purchasing a seat ticket for DSB 1', it is required to purchase DSB 1' supplement to have access to the DSB 1' compartment. It can be purchased together with the seat reservation or purchased separately as a card or other supplement.

We are currently running extended tests on free bicycle carriage in the regional train. Read more here: https://www.dsb.dk/aktuelt/test-af-gratis-medtagning-af-cykler/

1.1 Validity

A seat reservation is only valid on the selected day, the selected time and for specified carriage and seat. You must take your seat immediately after boarding the train, otherwise it may be assigned to someone else. 

1.2 Availability of seat reservations

You have the option of buying a seat reservation when you travel with InterCity, InterCityLyn and Regional Trains. There may be regional trains where it is not possible to buy a seat reservation.

1.2.1 Special conditions on travel to Bornholm

It is possible to reserve space for bicycles, prams and wheelchairs to Bornholm. The seat ticket allows you to take a bicycle, pram and wheelchair on the Øresund train. In Pågatåg, it is free to bring a bicycle, pram and wheelchair, but it is not possible to reserve a place.

Seat reservations are not sold on Øresund trains or the Swedish Pågatåg trains from Malmö-Ystad. You can therefore not reserve space for bicycles, prams and wheelchairs in Øresund trains and Pågatåg. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that there will be seating on all train departures.

1.3 Refund

A seat reservation can be refunded up to 30 minutes before departure time.

When you buy several tickets at once, you can only get them refunded together.

1.3.1 Special terms for those who have purchased their seat ticket at the same time as a ticket purchase

If you have purchased your seat reservation in the same purchase as the ticket itself, you can see in the terms of use and purchase of the individual ticket which rules apply:
