“PostoBlu” allows you to book:
• Equipped seating areas (with safety anchor system for wheelchairs) and relevant 'associated' seat for any accompanying persons;
• Seats reserved to PRM and their accompanying persons;
• Ordinary seats, couchettes or wagon lits.

PRM's accompanying persons can avail of the “Postoblu” service only when travelling together with the accompanied person. “Postoblu” does not apply to international tickets, to tickets for cumulative service, to season tickets and to group tickets.

Application Time and Booking Finalisation Time

Equipped seating areas and equipped seats, together with seats for accompanying persons, can be assigned up to one hour before departure, compatibly with the minimum time requested for arranging the assistance service; the purchase can be finalised up to scheduled departure time; 
ordinary seats must be confirmed within 48 hours of reservation, but at least 24 hours before departure: e.g. an ordinary seat reservation, if issued a week before departure, must be finalised by the same time on the second subsequent day; if, instead, it was issued 60 hours before departure, you have 36-24=12 hours' time to finalise your purchase. 
couchettes and wagon lits must be confirmed within 48 hours of booking, but at least 48 hours before departure.
Upon carrying out this operation, you will receive a transaction code (PNR) with its respective validity term, together with data related to your journey and to the requested assistance service. By providing your mobile phone number and/or your email address, you will receive the same information via text message or email. You can receive this information via fax as well, upon request.

If the payment is not made in due time, the PostoBlu reservation is automatically cancelled and the seat becomes available once again.
