Everybody wants to sit together. We know that. Our employees always try to get the seats as close to each other as possible. Only in rare cases will the seats not be adjacent: for example, when a train is almost fully booked, and only a few seats are left. The bigger the group, the higher the chance that not all of its members will stay together.
For the instant e-tickets, the seats will be assigned automatically.
We cannot guarantee that they will be next to each other; in fact, they might not even be in the same car.
