Get AC chair car - that's the 2x3 seating on the shatabdi.
Why do you need the hotel to book for you? IRCTC takes foreign cards just fine, else book on

Do waitlists usually clear? There are lots of places in 'AC Chair car', but 8 on the 1st class waitlist. The hotel won't book it for me until tomorrow (which seems strange), so it may get a bit longer. For some reason I thought that there was a 'tourist' bucket, but can't seem to see that online.
If it won't clear then I may book a plane, but I'm kind of keen now to stay at the Lalit, so the train would be perfect

Thanks
