Back in 2006, my oldest son and I flew into Brussels, Belgium to begin a trip where we would visit some places together, then split up in Paris, to continue our own journeys to other counties. We had first class tickets on the train from Brussels to Bruges. When we got to our seats, other people were seated in them. We notified the female conductor who said there was nothing she could do about it. We ended up having to take seats apart from each other, while someone else got the benefit of our reserved seats.
Opps, sorry, wrong thread.
