What are reserved seats and non-reserved seats?

Reserved seat: Seats are guaranteed. You can also choose your seat preference, and we’ll do our best to accommodate it.

Non-reserved seat: You will have more flexibility in taking any train on the specified date/route. However, seats are not guaranteed and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If your train is full, you might need to stand throughout the journey.
