    doesn’t guarantee you a seat

    This is why I said usually.

    SJ (Sweden) and VY (Norway) did not have this option. DSB (Denmark) does. How strange to allow only buying seats instead of changing an existing booking.

    Edit: looked at https://jegy.mav.hu/ and could not find the option to buy only seats. It seems like this way of handling tickets is intermittent.

      MAV offers it too (the last option on the bottom)

      Sweden and Norway are countries with global price ticketing (Mandatory Reservations, integrated with Ticket/ SCIC-IRT), Denmark and Hungary not, so no surprise there (SCIC-NRT)

      I don’t think it’s strange, it gives just more flexibility.

      EDIT: Also it’s nearly impossible to do international ticketing to Global Price Countries with more than a change or outside selected connections, whereas such problems don’t exist in Countries that use SCIC-NRT, another Reason why Trains with Mandatory Reservations suck
