Where do you get a ticket:.
- The transaction terminals TT at the station. According to the ticket order form (14-digit order number and your passport nmbr). The most convenient way, as TT does not have a queue of passengers.
- In railways offices equipped with computers. Show your ticket order form and passport (document certifying the identity of the passenger, which is decorated in the order). Or is enough to mention the 14-digit order number and present an identification document.

TransSiberian is not so much a journey but a unique lifestyle. The train becomes your living room. In August, I accompanied the family from Italy, we traveled on the Trans-Siberian. Half the day they slept in the compartment. Many passengers like to sleep on the road. Journey to trains with small numbers costs much more expensively a train with the big numbers. These are new comfortable cars. Small number train stop seldom and only at large stations, therefore in them passengers seldom vary. And it is convenient. Most tourists travel second-class. Wealthier Russians usually travel second-class. Third-class is mostly for the Russian middle-class and lower-middle. The really poor either don't travel at all or go in the worst, non-sleeper class.
