Our Relax Check-in
With our Relax Check-in, you can easily and quickly check yourself in, avoiding ticket checks by our crew*. You can check in any seat marked with "Nur Relax Check-in" yourself.
Using your camera on your phone, tablett or laptop, you can start the Relax Check-in, by scanning the QR code on the (folding) table in front of your your seat and follow the instructions on your device. After the successful check-in, your seat is reserved for you all the way to your destination station – this seat can no longer be booked by other passengers. The overhead display will switch to "Seat reserved" and will display your starting and terminating stations after a few moments.
The Relax Check-in is available for all WESTbahn tickets, except for group tickets, tickets from Austrian transportation associations, bicycles, and pet tickets. You can also check in using your KlimaTicket Ö – provided it is linked to your WESTbahn-account.
Collect WESTpunkte & save money
The best part about the Relax Check-in is that you can simultaneously colleckt WESTpunkte (points). You receive one WESTpunkt for every 1 Euro of ticket price. These points can be used online for purchasing tickets and upgrades. Or better yet, use them to buy snacks and drinks in our onaboard WESTcafés – for just 28 WESTpunkte, you can already get a free espresso!
Please note, that collecting WESTpunkte is only possible for WESTbahn customers with a free WESTbahn account.
