📝 Tips Before You Book:

  • Coupe Request: You can request a 2-berth coupe via email to the Railway Chief Reservation Officer, but it’s not guaranteed.
  • Berth Allocation: Is based on availability, age/gender grouping, and group size.
  • Privacy: Ideal for couples, senior citizens, or travelers needing quiet space.
  • Meals: May or may not be included (depends on the train—e.g., Rajdhani vs. non-premium trains).
