ÖBB Nightjet - THE AUSTRIAN TRAIN FROM GERMANY TO ITALY | Deluxe Cabin

Hi, in this new travelmentary/trip report, I'll show my experience with the ÖBB Nightjet from Munich Germany to Milan, Italy. The Nightjet is a sleeper train operated by the Austrian railway company ÖBB (Österreichische Bundesbahnen). I have booked the highest booking class, which is a Single Deluxe Cabin.

THANKS ÖBB FOR PRESERVING SLEEPER TRAINS ! And others will follow !!!!

[@travelmentaryTV]

I agree. It‘s funny how DB terminated it‘s sleeper trains services claiming they were not economically viable. ÖBB took over their business and so far they‘re successful. As a matter of fact, I heard that DB wants to come back to the night train business. The bigger picture is that many more sleeper trains may be introduced in the coming years. I would love to test them :). Thanks for watching!

@@travelmentaryTV and they realise that it is about the experience: sleeping on a train, nice food, meeting people, enjoying the landscape, better lighting, cosiness...It is also about romantics. A voyage as a way to relax about 12 hours, escape life and then enjoy your holiday or start working !

[@travelmentaryTV]

@@dirkusmaximus9268 Hi, I fully agree. Traveling on a train is a special way of traveling, even more so on a night train. The trip itself gets a whole different meaning. Thank you for watching the video. Christian from travelmentary TV

Interesting trip report! Must have been interesting waking up in a different country ;)

[@travelmentaryTV]

Haha, that’s true! Thanks for watching!

Hello ladies and gentlemen, so this is my video about the Austrian sleeper train from Munich, Germany to Milan, Italy. I hope that you find the video somewhat informative and/or entertaining. In case you have questions concerning the video, feel free to ask them in the comment section and I will try to answer them :-). If you would like to support this channel, then sharing liking and subscribing is the way to go. Thanks for watching and have a great day.

[@tombombadil9123]

sleeper is a great thing. but for a really spectacular trip (if you are travelling for pleasure) from Munich to Milano, nothing beats the direct route through the Swiss alps with the Bernina Express. you will have to change a few trains, but for me that only adds to the experience

[@travelmentaryTV]

Hello 👋 thank you so much for watching and your comment! That’s a good travel idea you have me, I would love to try such a trip. I think I would start with an ICE to Chur, then switch to the Bernina Express and then take another train to Milan. I can already imagine that this might be a cool video :) The Nightjet is cool in its own way, though. Christian from travelmentary TV

[@ross498]

I usually only watch plane trip reviews and yours are incredible (love the animations you put in) but I found myself enjoying this one too. Incredible work dude

[@travelmentaryTV]

Hi, thanks so much for watching and the kind words. Comments like yours are certainly a big motivation to make these videos!

[@syh30801]

As a Japanese, I feel that 169 EUR fee is not so expensive, thinking of the accommodation and the level of service. The Sunrise Express, that is a overnight train in Japan, costs about 200 EUR to ride for 12 hours. There is no breakfast service, no shower in a room, and the room is so small. After COVID, I'd like to travel Europe and experience wonderful night with Nightjet.

[@travelmentaryTV]

Thanks a lot for watching and your comment! Really interesting to read your perspective as a Japanese on that topic. I would love tobtest the train you mention one day! Christian from travelmentary TV

[@literallythesenate581]

I wouldnt say that its expensive because you get a place to sleep, shower, wc and a breakfast.(Usually 100€)+68€ for the trip

[@LauRa-re9un]

I went from Graz to Milan in OBB train. Bought a ticket in a cabin for me only, I had a bed and a sink, apart from all the things you show. I loved it. I slept really well there and the crew was very nice and polite. I would do it again.

[@travelmentaryTV]

Hi and thanks for watching. That’s great, thanks for sharing your travel experience here! As far as I know this product might become even better with new rolling stock arriving in 2022. Christian from travelmentary TV

[@LauRa-re9un]

@@travelmentaryTV That is great, I live far away, in Uruguay, South America, but I wish I can go again to Europe after all this covid ends, and try the new rolling stock =)

[@jen93106]

11:25 was where I was headed and the final confirm for me to do so! It really finalized at the random mysterious bag in your room, though! That was just so well done and entertaining, as was all of the footage and information you presented! 👏 😃

[@akoska]

@@travelmentaryTV I dont know i'm afraid of that i will ask stupid, but i'll ask it: I read that sometimes the hungarian railway company gives actions from Budapest somewhere to Germany, Austria, Italy n Czechland, o Czech Republic on "cheap" prices. On the end of october, tha hungarian railway xompany gives traintrip 2 Frankfurt am Main n Stutgart for 40 euros. On summer there was a trip 2 Prague by train... I won't 2 b there none of these journeys! But i ask, did u hear about it! Do trains run between BP and different european cities please? I heard that MAV, da hungarian railways usually uses OBB Railjets, o different night trainz.... Have you been 2 Hungary by train please?

[@travelmentaryTV]

Hi, I don't know enough about the Hungarian State Railway to answer your question. I know there is a ÖBB Railjet going from Germany via Austria to Hungary and that's one of the trains that I would want to show here in future. On their website I also read that there is a night train to Berlin. However I am not a specialist with regards to Hungarian trains, I'm sorry.

[@pietdezwart2271]

the bag you found on top is likely to hold fresh towels, which are distributed in the 'de luxe-cabins'. But they should not have been in your cabin.

[@travelmentaryTV]

Only a real ÖBB Insider would know that :), I assume you are one. Thanks for watching and your comment!

[@stijncuppers9180]

Would you recommend paying extra for deluxe? Really love the animations to

[@travelmentaryTV]

Hi, well, as long as you don't want to share a cabin with other people and privacy is important for you, then I definitely recommend the deluxe cabin. I also wouldn't say it's overly expensive when compared to a flight and an additional hotel with breakfast. Thanks for watching!

[@stijncuppers9180]

Thanks for the reply!

[@elizabethcolorsart7728]

The price for this trip does it include to be alone in your cabin or someone can sleep in your cabin too?!

[@travelmentaryTV]

Hi, with the ticket that I booked you don’t have to share the cabin with anybody, it is a Single Deluxe cabin, hence it was for me alone. ÖBB explains the different onboard products on its website, too: www.nightjet.com/en/komfortkategorien/schlafwagen

[@kuljeetsinghsamra7626]

Bro what were the documents required please tell🙏

[@j.e.e.cummings]

It is on my bucket list to travel on a sleeper train. Would love to see a video of one from say Berlin to Prague :). I thought 169 euro was a reasaonable price. I remember looking into a sleeper car to Berlin and it was well over 300! Way too much. Looking forward to the next video!

[@travelmentaryTV]

Yeah, 300 euro would be too much in my opinion, too. But I think if you're booking in advance and are flexible with the dates you can get it cheaper. Thanks for watching!

[@jorgmehring2660]

Berlin to Prague takes you only 4 hours. Not enough time for a sleeper train.

[@jonwalkamal]

I too faced problems with toilets in nighjet when I had traveled from Roma Centrale to Vienna Hauptbahnhoff.

[@travelmentaryTV]

Interesting, that problem might be more common than I thought. It might have to do with the old DB fleet that they‘re using. Hopefully in this is not the case in the new Nightjet.

[@jonwalkamal]

travelmentary TV i hope that too though I will have to travel in a nightjet again to find , unfortunately dont know when will that be. I had another weird experience as a lady was sitting on my seat and refused to move stating that the rail staff had asked her to sit. It reminded me of India two decades back

[@travelmentaryTV]

Wow, and how did that end? Did she eventually move?

[@jonwalkamal]

travelmentary TV Her daughter found her another seat thankfully

[@travelmentaryTV]

Glad to hear that things finally worked out. Once again thanks a lot for watching. Hope you enjoy the other videos on this little channel, too :)

[@nimeshacooray8041]

Any idea whether there is a sleeper train from Berlin to Munich?

[@travelmentaryTV]

None that I know of. There are night ICEs though (which are not sleeper trains of course) and I will show one of them in a future video. Christian from travelmentary TV

[@470danadidas]

Very good video but the accompanying music was far too loud sometimes drowning out the narration.

[@travelmentaryTV]

Hi, thanks for watching and your feedback. That's a very important topic you're mentioning. While I always try to improve my videos, audio is a particularly difficult topic for me. Over the time that I have made these videos I found that it's very hard to find the right parameters that fit all end-users. Sometimes what sounds right on one device, sounds completely different on another. I do have more experience now than when I made this video, nevertheless I'm still far from perfect. However I hope the video was at least somewhat enjoyable and/or informative. Christian from travelmentary TV

[@josdt6063]

You can book a private seating car for only 99€ there to have no other people in there and then you can pull these 6 seats together to have a lying surface. This is a good offer. And then it´s only yours and you have this hole storage, little tables and two power sockets just for you.

[@travelmentaryTV]

Hi, that’s an interesting travel hack you have ;) But I would say that all things considered even the product that I have show in the video is not too expensive for what you get. Thanks for watching and your comment! Christian from travelmentary TV

[@Mk2Brett]

Is the entire Deluxe Cabin for you? or is there potential for other people to be in there and share it?

[@travelmentaryTV]

Mk2Brett No, if you book a Single Deluxe cabin you don’t have to share it with anybody. It’s like a hotel room on a train :).

[@desiigner_blaise1]

Did you pay for the breakfast and dinner??

[@travelmentaryTV]

4:32, there’s your answer.

[@19891214ful]

No cigarettes allowed in the cabin?

[@travelmentaryTV]

Smoking is forbidden 🚫 in the entire train.

[@muneebnajam6020]

did they ask any kind of passport control or ID control ?

[@travelmentaryTV]

For me, there was only a ticket control. In terms of border security, there usually aren‘t passport controls within the Schengen area, but there may be patrols by the border guard/police and punctual checks of ID/passports. Also keep in mind the current Covid-related controls.

@@travelmentaryTV actually i want to go to berlin from bologna ... so will i need a green pass ( i am not fully vaccinated). or only a test will work ?
