Avanti - Apple Wallet

[VauxhallandI]

Hi - I've just received an email confirmation an ticket from Avanti.

Any idea if one can get these into an Apple wallet?

I bought an Avanti ticket from Train Split last month and I could but this direct purchase doesn't seem to have an option

Was there not an "Apple Wallet" option on the Avanti website when choosing how you wished the tickets to be delivered? It's certainly an option on the LNER site.

There was only one option it was E-Ticket

Open the email on your phone and you'll get a wallet e-ticket.

I get an add to calendar option and a pdf option.

With the pdf there is a share button but the wallet isn’t an option

I asked them about this a couple of days ago after having the same happen to me. They’ve suspended compatibility with Apple Wallet for the time being, so you need to show the ticket in their app or the PDF you’ve been emailed

Or book with a retailer who will allow you to put the ticket in the wallet

But Avanti has the seat selector (albeit a poorly designed one)

So you have to choose what’s more important to you.

TrainSplit is your answer then as it has a seat checker and Apple Wallet/Google Pay compatibility .

Thanks, they didn't give you a reason I take it?

I used the Avanti site this time as I wanted the Nectar points; they did indeed have a seat selector but it wasn't as clear as trainsplit's one.

Having used the Avanti one before and it worked with Apple Wallet I didn't think it would be necessary to somehow check it still did. One doesn't expect a reverse in usefulness!

They just said due to ‘technical issues’, but that hope to have it back in the coming months. Very frustrating for me as likewise I enjoy getting the nectar points, especially on an expensive booking. The seat picker is hopeless but at least I know my favourite seats so it’s not too hard to use. But surely we should be able to get nectar points, pick our seat and use Apple Wallet? Considering having all 3 has existed for years
