Paying for Meitetsu-Tokoname Limited Express

Hello,

Do I need to purchase an additional First Class ticket when riding these Limited / Express lines? Only if I sit in the First Class Reserved section right? (i.e. uSky Limited Express requires First Class + Basic Fare). Do I just touch IC card at gate and look for basic seat section? Thanks.

Does the Meitetsu-Tokoname Line Express Kowa or Meitetsu Limited Express have Non-Reserved seats?


Thanks.

Yes, the regular limited express trains carry regular, non-reserved cars, which can be used without supplement fee and seat reservations. Just using the IC card to tap thorugh is enough.

Only the "μSKY Limited Express" trains are fully reserved and require the supplement fee, but these don't stop at Tokoname.

Thank you for confirming. Are the ordinary seats (non-reserved) usually in the middle of the train? Also, just a bit unsure about reading the platform signs for the limited express ones. Google Maps doesn't seem to indicate which platform, only the Limited Express line. Any tips? Thanks

It just shows:

Meitetsu Limited Express
Meitetsu-Tokoname Limited Express

Btw, do these Limited Express have bathrooms? Thanks

This page explains the train composition of the trains in the direction of Tokoname and the airport:

Sorry, I don't know the English naming on signs (I guess it is "μSKY Limited Express" vs. other "limited express" trains), but usually the unique departure times let you identify the right train.

As for toilets, they are available in the better trains:

Sorry, I ran out of time to reserach regular trains.

Thank you. It is a big help. It looks like we will be taking the Limited Express trains along the Tokoname Airport Line. We plan to go Otagawa Station from Nagoya and so we need to ride that line.

I can't confirm if there are toilets on the ordinary cars or if the bathroom is only for the First Class Cars passengers? Can't find info on that.

Any tips on confirming the Platform and direction to Google Maps? I read that it can either be the next stop or the last stop on that line.

Thanks
