In train you can travel in AC coach on sleeper coach ticket, know this special trick

Train is the cheapest mode of travel in our country. Indian Railways also takes great care of its passengers. There are three types of coaches for traveling in the train, which include General Coach, Sleeper Coach and AC Coach. The biggest difference between the three types of coaches is that you can travel in general coaches with a normal ticket, while for sleeper and AC you have to make a reservation. Do you know that Railways also offers a special facility through which you can travel in AC coaches on your sleeper coach reservation.

We all know that sleeper coach reservation is cheap, while ticket to travel in AC is very expensive. However, many times it happens that we make reservation in sleeper coach, but when we get the ticket, our reservation is made in AC coach. That means in sleeper ticket you get a chance to travel in AC coach. Let's know the reason behind it

How to travel in AC coach on sleeper coach ticket

Indian Railways offers Auto Upgradation facility to enable Indian passengers to travel with comfort. However, passengers will have to select the auto upgrade option while booking the ticket. If you opt for the auto upgrade option, you may get a chance to travel in an upgraded coach rather than the coach class in which you book the ticket. This simply means that if you book a ticket in sleeper coach, the same ticket will be upgraded to AC coach in auto upgrade.

The most special thing about this service of the Indian Railways is that the Railways does not charge a single penny from the passengers for this. If you book a ticket in Third AC, your ticket can also be upgraded to Second AC. However, this facility is availed only when the seats in the upper coach are vacant.
