I don\'t know what I am missing, but despite knowing the night train route we\'d like to travel is EN50467, I still can\'t find how to reserve the correct tickets. I *think* I\'m following the directions, but it keeps not giving me the option.
I\'d like to buy two train tickets for my husband and I, as well as a deluxe sleeper car for two, with a shower and WC. Where from this page do I actually click to buy the correct fares? [ux]https://rail.cc/en/eurail-night-train/zurich-prague-en-50467/493[/ux]
When I go about it through the shopping link [ux]https://rail.shop/trainline[/ux] it doesn\'t seem to show that option.
Also, I have read that I must choose first class to be traveling non-stop, but the options that come up for two people are labeled as 2nd class. Do I need to buy the 3 person first class? If so, would anyone potentially be placed with us?
Any help is very appreciated as I understand our dates will open up in a week. I\'d like to be ready to purchase since it seems only three suites are available each day. I am finding some things we\'d hoped to do are full in Europe for this summer. It seems like things are getting busier!
Thank you!

Hello and welcome.
Sometimes it is a bit difficult to book international long-distance night trains. You can always book them at ticket windows in stations, but if you plan for a certain date and want to have a category for sure, online booking in advance is the best way - and often the cheapest as well, as getting saver fares.
The night train you selected is one of these "difficult to get online" ones. I found it already via [ux]https://rail.shop/omio[/ux] in the past, therefore added the link there. You did everything correctly! :)
Now it seems not to be available there, at least for the dates I searched there. What date you want to travel?
I now found it on the website of Swiss railways [ux]https://rail.shop/sbb[/ux] - try it, select 1st class. At the moment I tried to book for two persons instead of one, I got an error message.
Let me know if you get the booking or not. If not, we will find another way.
Pete :)
