Buying an assigned seat was a great idea! The station had the map of seats and the app showed which car to go to which made the process seemless. Our trip was hectic in that everything was new and fast paced. We also purchased the extra luggage area since we had 3 large suitcases - however, they did not have time to show us where the "paid for" luggage storage was located and told us to move our BIG suitcases to the top rack above peoples heads. If we go back again, I will research more, but not pay extra for the large luggage storage because it was a waste of money. Note: if you have large suitcases, choose the last seats in the car because there is a storage area free of charge that only the last row can use.
