How to get guaranteed lower berth in train?

Ugh, getting a lower berth on a train, right? It’s the holy grail, isn’t it? I remember this one time, trying to get my grandma to her niece’s wedding – a whole family affair, and she really couldn’t manage the upper bunk. The stress! So, how do you even try to snag one of those precious lower berths?

Well, I’ve learned a few things the hard way, let me tell you. The official advice is to look for that “Book only if at least 1 lower berth is allotted” option when you’re booking your tickets. Seems simple enough, huh? If there’s one available, you’re golden. If not… well, they’ll ask if you still want to book, even without the lower berth guaranteed. It’s a gamble, I know. It’s not a magic bullet, like some kind of “lower berth charm” or something. But it definitely ups your odds, increases your chances, you know?

I mean, it’s not a guarantee – I’ve tried it myself and sometimes it still doesn’t work. Once, I swear, I ticked that box and ended up with an upper berth anyway! I nearly cried. My back still aches thinking about it. But honestly? It’s better than nothing. It’s a starting point, at least you’re trying to give yourself a fighting chance. You might as well give it a shot, what do you have to lose? Except maybe your back, if you get the upper bunk and are… you know… ahem… less agile than some. ????
