Have a question?
There are two ways you can purchase an eligible ticket for Seatfrog upgrades:
- Book directly through the London North Eastern Railway website or app.
- Book through any third party website authorised to sell LNER tickets.
You will also need to ensure:
- You must be over 18 years of age

Once you have booked an eligible ticket, you can add your trip to the Seatfrog app by using your booking reference if you booked via LNER’s website. Alternatively, you can use Seatfrogs new Train Search feature if you booked via another method.
If you booked directly with LNER and choose to add your trip with your booking reference, you will need to wait for 24-hours for your booking details to reach us, so that we can see it in the Seatfrog app.
