Leo Express RIC (Germany <> Poland)
The key info worth knowing about the trains that Leo Express is using on its Frankfurt - Leipzig - Prague - Ostrava - Krakow - Przemyśl route includes that for the time being, only Economy (2nd class) accommodation is available.
The plan is for Business Class to be available from January 2027.
Though [travellers can now choose](https://www.leoexpress.com/en/about-us/for-media/leo-express-to-launch-full-rail-service-to-przemysl-from-july-310 to travel in either seats or in [couchette style]/travel-info-and-tips/our-guide-to-taking-european-night-trains/) sleeping compartments.
The couchette compartments can be booked for use by 1 to 4 travellers, in effect the compartment has a fixed reservation fee, so parties of two or more can in effect split the cost between them.
The overnight sections of the route are:
- Heading east towards Przemyśl: the overnight section is Decin > Ostrava; the train departs Praha at around 01:15am
- Heading west towards Frankfurt the overnight section is Prague > Ostrava.

For the time being places are automatically assigned when booking the sleeping accommodation, but not when booking seats. The number of tickets won't exceed the number of seats available, but you will need to seek out the available places when boardiing.
Travel in the couchettes
Overnight sleeping accommodation is now available in couchettes; the seats in compartments will be converted to bunk style beds for the overnight sections of the route.
The compartments have air conditioning, Wi-Fi, power sockets, but in common with other couchettes, there is no sink in the compartment, the washing facilities are in the WCs at each end of the corridor on the train.
There is a choice of mixed and ladies only compartments and a light breakfast is included in the price.
