DB (Deutsch Bahn) website seems to only book First and Second class but not the Premium class.

And I can't find fares for any of the classes on this route. Argh...
I don't think you can book this train on the Austrian website, since the train neither starts nor finishes in Austria.

You may not be able to book premium class at all on-line, probably because it is a rarity in Europe. (I can only think of Eurostar as a parallel). Also, there will certainly be no discounted fares (the ones you can see on the DB website) for premium class (only first and second class). I think there is a fixed supplement for premium class if you have a first class ticket. I would ask at Munich station, a day or two before you travel, when you are there.
