The WESTbahn Relax Check-in
Check in yourself and enjoy a free coffee
Hop on, check in, relax.
With our free Relax Check-in, you can check yourself in and save yourself the hassle of having your ticket checked by our crew*. In addition, you collect WESTpunkte points, which you can redeem for snacks and drinks in one of our onboard WESTcafés or use your points for tickets and upgrades.
The first coffee is on us. And all others too!
You haven't checked yourself in yet? Then save the best for last: for your first successful Relax Check-in we will immediately credit 36 WESTpunkte to your WESTbahn account. You can redeem these points for a free hot drink at one of our onboard WESTcafés. You can find all details about our Relax Check-in further below.
Our Relax Check-in
You can check in any seat marked on the overhead-displays with "Nur Relax Check-in".
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. Once successfully checked-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.
You can also check in using your KlimaTicket Österreich annual pass – provided it is linked to your WESTbahn-account.
Collect & redeem points
Using our Relax Check-in you automatically collect WESTpunkte (points). For every 1 Euro spend on ticket fares, you receive one WESTpunkt point**. These points can be used online for purchasing tickets and upgrades. Or better yet, use them to buy snacks and drinks in one of our onboard WESTcafés – for just 28 WESTpunkte, you can already get a free espresso!
KlimaTicket Österreich holders also collect WESTpunkte points with us – more information here.
Please note, that a free WESTbahn account is required to collect and redeem WESTpunkte points:
