Tip: book with the Czech railway. Your ticket would’ve been like 50€ and not 135€

I've travelled on that exact Rejiojet train, in Business from Vienna to Budapest, I can confirm the seat does have a recline function of sorts. You sort of have to manually slide the bottom section of the seat out so it "reclines"

I just wanna say that I'm Czech, so super stoked to see one of our rail companies featured 🙂

I did first class in railjet from Graz to Vienna. Completely worth it (plus STUNNING views).

You should mention that Austrian Railways offers MASSIVE discounts if you book a week+ in advance. The ticket you had would cost only 45 Euro in "Sparschiene", which gets it right on par with the other provider.

Nicky dealing with precariously perched objects and dropping things was the representation I needed in the media.

One very important difference between the 2: Railjet is a High speed train that can operate on fully dedicated High Speed Lines through Europe & Austria maxing out at 140 miles per hour | The RegioJet has a Siemens vectron Locomotive (it usually uses) & due to its coaches can only reach 115 Miles per hour. | Railjet charges a premium for 2 reasons | Its a luxurious service marketed for business travelers even in economy, and it has to use & can use HS lines (high speed lines) thus being faster than any other rail service on that route.

I took RegioJet last year. You can get a slice of cake for just €0.40! Yup, 40 cents for a delicious cake. You can't even buy that in the station

Great video! Just a side note, the business seats in RegioJet do recline, and quite a lot. Brilliant to see you showing what Austria and the Czech Republic have to offer!

Hi guys. I want to say I was the railjet train driver. i hope you enjoy my drive to the prague.

Nice comparison! However, between Prague and Wien, there is only one Austrian Railjet per day, other connections are served by Czech Railjets (blue ones). They are almost identical but blue ones have a Czech restaurant which is higher rated than the Austrian one (though I love both), they also have a worse Business class seat composition, fewer 1st class seats and more bike spaces - the economy class is identical. So that's good to know before booking. Like with airlines, it's the same exact train but the different operators had slightly different configurations when they ordered the trains from Siemens.
Also, there are newer "Interjet" trains on some domestic routes in Czechia and there will be new Railjets 2.0 very soon and this time there will be even more differences between the Austrian and Czech ones. The Czech new ones will go all the way from Prague to Copenhagen from 2026.

Love it, I needed this video today I think one of your best so far.

You can try Prague -> Ostrava by train.
In this route we have 3 companies (CD, Regiojet and Leoexpress) and three difrent trains (Pendolino, Regiojet have that same and Leoexpress) 😅

[adamsilar]

As somebody already mentioned you can save some money if you buy Railjet tickets from Czech Railways site. Anyway I prefer Railjet... It's newer, more comfy and they take better care about their cars. You can see even from video that Regiojet is bit dirty/sticky. Definitely not bad considering the price, but still team Railjet.

Fun fact: The RegioJet coaches are actually old ÖBB coaches.

[MrsRalou]

That can't be a coincidence! OMG, it's you read my mind! Me and my best friend just booked our holiday plane tickets for November to go to Vienna, and from there to take THAT route to Prague, and then back again!! <3 <3 thanks!

[ian.blackwoodgwent.walesgb]

Good video, thanks. Have travelled a lot on Austrian trains🇦🇹, sometimes in 1st class. Can't remember them being that expensive if booked in advance...but they were mostly internal Austrian services, or to Munich 🚆

[karthikkamathp]

Would love to see you review the ÖBB's famed Nightjet!

[Liam-nvw]

Have a similar dilemma to choose who to travel with between Vienna and Budapest. Think I'll go with Regiojet

[nadineloschy]

Thank you for having you! Best regards your waitress in the railjet!
