Can I change my seat?
A booked Deutsche Bahn seat cannot be exchanged. Instead, you book a new seat. You have two options: yourself via "Seat only", or through Support.
Booking a new seat yourself
- Open the search and switch to the "Train" tab.
- Choose "One-way" and also select "Seat only".
- Search for the connection, pick your new seat and complete the booking.
You'll find all steps in detail in Seat only: Deutsche Bahn seat reservation without a ticket.
Link the new reservation to your ticket via "Link Bookings". You then see both side by side under "Linked Bookings".
Your previous reservation stays in place. If you no longer need it, cancel it in the booking under "Rebook or cancel?" with "Request".
Asking Support to change it
The Support team is happy to book the new seat for you. Use the form Change seat.
You'll also find the link to the form at the end of every train booking in the Lanes & Planes software.
An additional service fee applies when Support books the seat.
If you have questions, contact us by phone or by email at service@lanes-planes.com.
Frequently asked questions
Is my old reservation cancelled automatically? No. If you no longer need it, cancel it yourself. Whether you get a refund depends on Deutsche Bahn's cancellation conditions.
Can I book a seat on a different connection? Yes. With "Seat only" you can pick any Deutsche Bahn connection.
