Travelers booking Deutsche Bahn rail services via the BENE Moove integration are now presented with an option to choose whether to reserve a seat during the booking process. When a seat reservation is selected, it is added to the booking summary, the total fare is updated if the reservation is chargeable, and the cost is itemized in the cart. In case the traveler opts out, no additional charges are applied and the booking proceeds without a reserved seat.
This enhancement improves traveler autonomy and booking transparency for DB services, especially in cases where seat reservations are optional or carry an additional fee. The logic applied aligns with existing seat reservation flows used via Trainline.
