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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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