Additional Notes from Travelers

• Confirmed ticket required: You won’t be able to book a retiring room without a confirmed reservation (PNR)
• Slot selection nuances: If booking via the same PNR for multiple passengers, the system may require selecting slots for all travelers at once. If any one cannot be accommodated, the booking might not go through.
• Sometimes, even if the online portal shows “fully booked,” the retiring room staff may still accommodate passengers offline—but it’s advisable to book in advance.
