1st class and 2nd class on the trains

Hi Rick Steves! I will be travelling with a 1st class eurail global pass this summer and will be using overnight trains frequently to save money. Since I have no problems sleeping in a seat, I will try to book seats instead of sleepers or couchettes whenever possible. Some trains though, for example the Allegro, state that the seats are 2nd class only. Can I still use them as a 1st class passholder or am I required to book a couchette? Thanks for your help! Jamie

This isn't Steve's website, it's Rick Steves'.

1st class passholders can ride in 2nd class if they want to (but not vice versa).

Haha, you are right, I guess I'm still decaffinated this morning! Sorry! :-/

Thank you so much for your quick response! That was the answer I was hoping for. Thanks again!
