Types of Tickets

Unreserved Coach
Choose an Unreserved Coach ticket if you want maximum flexibility for deciding when to travel. Use an Unreserved Coach ticket to ride any Pacific Surfliner train between the stations on your ticket up to one year from the date of your reservation, subject to certain restrictions).
This type of ticket doesn’t require any modifications, and is convenient in many situations:
- Take an earlier train if you are ready to go home sooner
- Take a later train if you want more time to explore
- Ride an earlier or later train if the one you were planning to take is delayed or expected to be busier than you’d like
- Ride at a later date if you want to postpone your trip, whether it’s by a day, week, or a few months

Business Class
Business Class tickets offer guaranteed seating and other perks. Advance reservations are required. The number of Business Class seats on each train is limited, so it’s best to book early before they sell out. If your plans change and you need to ride an earlier or later train, you will need to modify your Business Class reservation in advance.
