If you book a first class air conditioned ticket, the doors and windows are strictly locked shut for the entire journey. You cannot hang out of the doors to take photographs in first class.

To get the famous open door experience, you must book second or third class tickets. In these carriages, the doors remain wide open, allowing you to sit on the steps and feel the cool mountain breeze. Just hold on tightly as the train sways significantly.

People outside stations offer to "help" buy tickets but charge large markups. They may buy cheap third-class tickets and sell as more expensive classes.
