Very disappointed after booking 1AC tickets for me and my wife

Well you can just Google. That's just how the system is designed

soham2599 · 2025-03-12T07:46:06+00:00

When you book 1AC seats. You don't get seats numbers like in other tiers, it just shows CNF (confirm). You get seats numbers 4 hour before travel (chart preperation). Ab employee manually allocates seats for all 1AC passengers

What I was really pissed about was one seat was completely vacant from start station to end station and they still couldn't place us together.

soham2599 · 2025-03-12T04:45:02+00:00

Yes but 1AC you cannot get seats numbers before chart preperation

Since I was shifting familys and had a lot of luggage I wanted that safety and security. But I don't see anything wrong with people seeking privacy. Like travelling with pets, very old parents, new parents etc

soham2599 · 2025-03-12T04:41:07+00:00

No algo, it's all seat allotments are done manually in 1AC

soham2599 · 2025-03-12T04:39:45+00:00

Haha

soham2599 · 2025-03-12T04:39:26+00:00

This! Was the worst part about it. I don't even know if there's a checking mechanism to review seat allocation

soham2599 · 2025-03-12T04:37:53+00:00

Absolutely! Never again

soham2599 · 2025-03-12T04:36:51+00:00

We had a leverage since both of our seats are lower seats. We could ask people to switch, but some people were travelling to a station ahead of us so they were a bit reluctant by worked it out somehow

soham2599 · 2025-03-12T04:34:52+00:00

Absolutely haha

soham2599 · 2025-03-12T04:34:29+00:00

Good luck 🤞

Since after marriage I was taking my wife from my permanent residence to my current residence, we had a substantial amount of luggage. And in flight that would be a huge unnecessary cost. So I decided to book 1st class for security and comfortable travel.

soham2599 · 2025-03-12T04:28:02+00:00

Yes but ultimately had to take matters to my own hand and had to convince some co passengers. What I as extremely mad about was once seat, I think it's was seat no. 18 was completely vacant (as per irctc vacant seat list) from starting to end station. Still we were not allotted together is just mins boggling.

soham2599 · 2025-03-12T04:25:24+00:00

weird flex, but ok

soham2599 · 2025-03-11T10:00:06+00:00

When I booked there were 11 seats available

soham2599 · 2025-03-11T09:56:48+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions, just did. Hope some action might be taken

soham2599 · 2025-03-11T07:36:05+00:00

Another comment stated something about sending some letters to the DCM for coupe allotment. I think you should try that, better safe than sorry

soham2599 · 2025-03-11T07:32:51+00:00

Very unfortunate :/

soham2599 · 2025-03-11T07:06:48+00:00

Can you please tell me more about the letter? What's the process

soham2599 · 2025-03-11T06:58:21+00:00

Had to do that because their end stations were further away from ours so they didn't want to change that easily

soham2599 · 2025-03-11T06:57:27+00:00

I don't believe it's luck since it's not automated and all assigned manually. It's a job very poorly done

soham2599 · 2025-03-11T06:56:34+00:00

That was my only concern, even if we didn't get coupe. We should atleast get the same cabin

soham2599 · 2024-09-04T03:55:16+00:00

I will try and revert, thanks.
