🚄 Seat Selection Secrets: Outer vs. Inner, Upper vs. Lower Berth?
1️⃣ Outer vs. Inner Berths
Outer (berth by the aisle, small table by the window): Easy to get on and off, but might be slightly noisy.
Inner (berth by the window, small table by the aisle): More private and quiet, perfect for sleeping.
👉 Recommendation: Light sleepers should choose an inner berth; those who value freedom of movement should choose an outer one!
2️⃣ Choosing Berth Height
Lower Berth: More space, you can store your suitcase under the bed, and it's easy to get up. Suitable for those traveling with children/seniors.
Upper Berth: Offers the most privacy, great for introverts, but climbing the ladder can be a bit of an effort.
👉 Tip: When booking on Trip.com, remember to check the "Select Berth" option—it's free!
