Can I choose my seats in Italo?

With Italo you can choose your seat to travel! Whether you are interested in a window seat to enjoy the view or you prefer a single seat to have more privacy or equipped with a small table to work in comfort or near the corridor, Italo allows you to select the seat that suits you at promotional prices starting from 2?.



Yes, you can absolutely choose your seats on Italo high-speed trains, but the cost and process depend on your ticket fare. When booking through the Italo Treno app or website, an interactive seat map appears during the payment process, allowing you to select specific coaches and seat numbers. If you hold a "Flex" fare or are a high-tier member of the Italo Più loyalty program, seat selection is typically free. For those on "Economy" or "Low Cost" fares, there is a small fee starting from roughly €2.50 to pick a specific spot. You can choose between "Single" seats for privacy, "Face-to-Face" configurations with a table for families, or quiet zones for business travelers. If you choose not to pay a fee, the system will automatically assign you a seat at no cost. For 2026 travelers, it is worth noting that you can even modify your seat after the booking is complete, provided your fare type allows for changes, making it one of the most flexible rail seating systems in Europe.

All high speed trains in Italy require to have a seat reserved for a Rail Pass or a ticket/e-ticket with its seat assigned. In Regional trains passengers travel without seat reservations, that means there's no assigned seating.

Like I mentioned above, Italo is usually cheaper than Trenitalia but because the cabins on lower-class tickets aren't the most comfortable, I'll usually consider Italo only for trains that are less than 2 or 3 hours long unless the Comfort ticket class is cheaper than Trenitalia.

You can choose your seat when you're buying most tickets, through Manage Reservations after you've purchased your ticket, or during check-in.

Your seat will be automatically assigned when you complete your reservation. You may change your assigned seat and choose a different seat at any time after your booking is complete by viewing your reservation in the Amtrak app or on Amtrak.com. There is no fee to change your seat.

There is typically one bathroom per train car on Italian trains. On newer trains, and especially high-speed trains, they are more spacious than what you might find on an airplane and offer the same basic features as those of a plane lavatory - a flushable toilet, sink with running water, soap, and paper towels.

MORE DETAILS

Luggage is included in the ticket price. There is no limit on the number and size of the items of luggage you take on board, but Italo asks you to keep in mind the limited space available on a train. The luggage areas in the vestibule of each coach are under video surveillance.

MORE DETAILS

Some routes are simple, open seating. However, others, such as long-haul trains, have assigned seating. However, you'll usually find there are plenty of open seats you can switch to; just make certain with the conductor that the seat isn't reserved for passengers boarding at a stop further ahead.

Emphatically, no. You will likely get assigned a seat during check-in (though you should still skip it if the airline tries to tack on a fee) or, at the very least, at the gate. Again: You don't have to select a seat in order to get a seat.

Exit rows, aisle or window seats, and anywhere close to the front are typically considered the best seats on a plane. On a short business trip, you might want an aisle seat near the front of the plane so you can debark as quickly as possible on arrival.
