I often use this method to buy seats in the coupe and so that the next place was free. In any case, I managed to travel a couple of times together in the coupe, without neighbors, it turns out in St. How to achieve this, read below.
Our people superstituted and usually never buys a ticket to the 13th place. And even more so in the 13th car. There is a small percentage, someone do not care about superstition, but their minority.
So, I usually take 15 and 16th place, conditionally your half coupe. The next place is lower - 13. And that it will take it, a very small probability. And 14 place the top and their logic is bought, only when the lower places ended.
And if you also take the car number 13, then the chances that neighbors will not rise repeatedly.
In any case, I was lucky a couple of times and we drove some in the coupe.
That's today, 4 hours before departure, our coupe is free.
True, when they went to Cheboksary, on Friday, the 13th, they also took the neighboring places in the coupe, but the 13th place was occupied ...
Bad luck. But sometimes it works
UPD. Now I am puffed to Mlskva. 13th place freely. Oxygen and no one eats chicken.
