What is the difference between standard seats and Plus or Komfort on Norwegian trains?

Plus on Vy, Premium on SJ, Ekstra on Go-Ahead, and what you get.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

On Vy's Bergen Line, Plus is the upgrade from a standard seat, with a more comfortable seat, a power outlet and free coffee or tea throughout the journey. On SJ trains on the Dovre and Nordland lines the upgrades are called Premium and Premium Pluss. Go-Ahead calls its upgrade on the Sørland Line Ekstra.

Why

  1. Vy says Plus seats are more comfortable, have headrests and a power outlet, and that Plus passengers can drink as much free coffee or tea as they want.
  2. SJ's Premium Pluss on the Dovre and Nordland lines has seats that recline up to 45 degrees, a reading light, and water, fruit and hot drinks included.
  3. Go-Ahead sells an upgrade called Ekstra on the Sørland Line and, on selected departures, a reclining seat called Hvile.

Details

The Bergen Line ticket list on Vy's site has no ticket called first class: Plus is the closest, and night trains also offer PlusNight with lie-flat seats and Sleeper or Rest tickets with a bed in a compartment. SJ's Premium is a quieter carriage with snacks and hot drinks included. Komfort is not among the ticket names on the Vy, SJ and Go-Ahead pages checked for this answer.

Tip

Plus makes most sense on long trips such as Oslo to Bergen, which takes about seven hours; compare the price difference for your date in the Vy app or Entur before you book.
