Advice / info gratefully received - tho I suspect the answer is that I should have done this in a different way to start off with.
Travel is a date in August from southern Germany to Paris. I booked via the DB website (which I'd not used much before) and got a good value price for a through fare in 1st class. My journey starts off on an ICE and then with a change at Mannheim onto to a TGV for Paris.
I was able to change my seat selection on the ICE to the precise seat I desired using the clear seating plans of the ICE train - window seat with table and best window alignment. I expected to then be able to do the same for the TGV leg of the journey as when selecting the seating preference options I didn't really get the seat I wanted when the ticket was generated. I got Coach 13 seat 31 on TGV 9552 if that helps. I realise the TGVs seem to have far fewer table seats / 'Club Duo seats' which would have been my preference so long as window alignment good.
Is there a way I can select an alternative seat using my booking with DB that I am missing? If so any tips would be great.
Not the biggest of problems but if I can change seats without hassle then I'll check what alternatives are available and may make a change.
