Train & seat reservations from Munich to Paris

I am arriving in Munich on September 22, 2009 and departing from Munich on October 01, 2009 to Paris by train.

Should I order tickets now or should I wait until I arrive in Munich on Sept 22, 2009?

Are senior citizen rates (over 60) available in second class.

If I order with credit card to I get confirmation by e-mail?

If I order them, can I pick them up at the train station in Munich?

Thanks,

Dale

You%26#39;ll get the best deals by booking in advance - you can generally buy tickets on DB%26#39;s website www.bahn.de 89 days in advance. Prices start at €39 one-way for a non-refundable, non-exchangeable ticket. Can%26#39;t see anything about senior discounts on the website.

If you buy your tickets online you can have them posted to you for a fee (€3,50 within the EU - might be more elsewhere) but you can also print your own e-ticket. You have to give a credit card number for verification purposes and produce that card to the ticket inspector.

There is no senior discount on train tickets.

No, you get the ticket itself by email.

You don´t need to pick anything up. Just print the ticket and bring the _same_ credit card you used.
