NJ Nattog ÖBB

Sovevognene
I den nye Nightjet generation har alle sovekupeer eget toilet og Deluxe kupeerne har egen bruser, så slut med at rode rundt efter pladser på Deluxe kupeer for at få eget toilet. De er mere rummelige og bagageplads er nu indtænkt i hele rejseoplevelsen.

Alle senge har mulighed for strøm opladning af telefon og der er god stabil WLAN forbindelse i alle vogne.

Knapperne i kupeen er lettere at styre og håndtere, ligesom togenes air-condition til at regulere varme/kulde med fungerer bedre.

Der er naturligvis også morgenmad inkluderet i prisen, når man rejser I sovekupe.

Liggevognene

Liggevognene i de nye kupeer er også mere rummelige og i meget højere standard end hvad vi tidligere har oplevet på Europæiske nattog. Køjerne er god kvalitet og der er strømstik og USB stik ved hver køje.

Som med sovekupeerne, så er bagageplads også indtænkt i rejseoplevelsen, ligesom at der er WLAN forbindelse i alle kupeer. Der findes nu kun 4-personers kupeer og ikke længere 6-personers.

Det er virkelig blevet lækkert.

Det nye: Minikabiner

Den helt store nyhed i togene er mini kabinerne. Beregnet til rejsende, som egentlig bare ønsker at rejse i en seng, have WLAN forbindelse, bagageplads og ikke mindst privat liv.

Kabinerne er Japansk inspireret og har alle faciliteter til en god nats søvn.

Vi forhandler nattogene som en del af et samlet rejsearrangement inkl. hotel.
