Forwarding your booking confirmation email to trips@seatfrog.com
Seatfrog can automatically add LNER trips booked direct and via a number third party websites.
Simply forward your booking confirmation email to trips@seatfrog.com. That's it... we will do the rest!
- Create a Seatfrog account.
- Forward your booking confirmation email to trips@seatfrog.com.
- Email confirmation - once processed, you will receive an email notification to let you know the status and eligibility of your trip/s.
Hint: If you submit your confirmation email from an email address not already registered to a Seatfrog account, you will receive an ‘unable to add your trip’ notification email. You will then need to forward your original confirmation email to the account registered with your Seatfrog account, and then forward it again to trips@seatfrog.com.

What happens when I forward my confirmation email?
Seatfrog will automatically add any eligible trips to your app. You will be sent a notification email confirming which trips have been added and which trips could have Seatfrog upgrade available.
Why does the email have to be the same as my registered Seatfrog email?
You will need to forward your original booking confirmation email from your registered Seatfrog email account so we can match and verify your details. Once matched, your trip will be added to the right account. We will send you a notification email to let you know if your trip was added successfully.
What happens if I have multiple travellers on my confirmation email?
If you are travelling as a couple or group, you can bid through the one Seatfrog account to upgrade together. Before placing a bid in the auction, make sure you select the number of upgrades you wish to bid for, and confirm.

What if trips@seatfrog.com has trouble finding my trip?
If your trip details cannot be found within your forwarded booking confirmation email, you’ll receive a notification email with the headline “We had trouble adding your trip”. There are a number of reasons why your trip may not be found.
If you have booked a London North Eastern Railway Standard Advance weekday ticket, with any of the supported third parties and we were still unable to add your trip to Seatfrog, please email our support team at help@seatfrog.com and they will look into it for you.
My trip was incorrectly added
If you think the booking details entered into your Seatfrog app are incorrect, please forward your booking confirmation email to help@seatfrog.com and a member of our customer support team will investigate further.
