(2) There is a slight price difference among the upper, middle, and lower bunk. Our price of a sleeper ticket is quoted by the lower bunk. Due to the online random distribution of bunks, we will take the benefit no matter which bunk will be issued, except for bunks on a high speed train (No. G/D).
(3) For a sleeper ticket on a high speed train (No. G/D), we quote based on the lower bunk. As there is a relatively big price gap between the upper bunk and the lower bunk, we will refund the price difference only if we issue an upper sleeper.
