Inside a First Class AC “Honeymoon” Coupe :)

The interiors of a First Class AC (air conditioned) Coupe on Indian Railways’ trains (new LHB aluminium coach type with bigger windows). First Class is divided into Coupes (seating/sleeping for two) and Cabins (seating/sleeping for four) and have lockable doors ensuring complete privacy. This shot if from the “E” Coupe on the 16561/2 Bangalore Yeshwantpur – Trivandrum Kochuveli AC Express. The same rake is used to run the 12214/3 Bangalore – Yeshwantpur – Delhi Sarai Rohilla Duronto Express as well, so this will work for that also. The berths are very wide and the window ensures great visibility. These coupes are also called “Honeymoon Coupes” 🙂 Read here the full review of the AC First Class on Indian Railways. Also, click here to see a cabin (older ICF type).

    1. IRCTC. Select ‘1A’ while booking. Even if it is Waiting LIst, upto WL 6 a week before it will surely get confirmed. You will get your Coupe number (letter) during chart preparation. No negotiations required 🙂

        1. If there are only two people traveling on a ticket, the system will automatically allot you a coupe 99% of the time. If you still get a cabin, you might need to “negotiate”.

  1. I booked 1 ticket for (2 person ) from NDLS – BBS in rajdhani express & i selected for coupe option at the time of booking .is it possible to get a coupe at the time of chart preparation..?
