How to buy a "window seat" for a train ticket?

Traveling home on holiday, afraid of traffic jams, taking the train is actually the best choice, because the price is right, and you don't have to worry about the risk of traffic jams. Moreover, it is becoming more and more convenient to take the train, which has become the choice of many people.

But I want to buy a window seat. What should I do? Then I'll tell you three ways.

First, buy it on 12306 official app.

If you take the bullet train, it is most convenient to buy it on the app of 12306. There is no service charge in the middle, so it is clear at a glance whether there are tickets in each time period.

Let's take Guangzhou to Changsha for example. If you choose the high-speed rail starting with G, these seats can be selected online.

But if you don't choose the high-speed train starting with G, there is no way to choose seats online, so you need to use the other two methods I introduce below.

Second, online ticketing.

In fact, this method is very bad, because everyone has a limited number of refunds every day, so it may not be possible to buy what they want. Therefore, I do not recommend it.

As mentioned above, most of the seats that can support online seat selection are bullet trains and high-speed trains, while others have not yet supported online seat selection. However, according to the experience of netizens, the seat numbers on the tickets are 0, 4, 5 and 9, all of which are window seats. So you can buy it online, just like a blind draw, and see if you are lucky enough to get the seat you want. If you don't get what you want the first time, you can put it off and buy it again. But I personally feel that this method is not very good, so it is not recommended.

Third, on-site purchase

Not at the train station, but at the agency. Some agents, authorized by the railway bureau or something, can also issue tickets on the spot. Another thing I think is that they can choose their seats. But the premise is that you have to meet a talkative agent and then be willing to help you operate slowly.
