So yes, the answer is still to go to a travel agent (possibly an online one -- they exist), or a manned ticket counter (which may technically just be an airline-branded travel agency anyway), or perhaps even phone the airline.
What's the temperature in TGVs? I noticed that the French TGVs have no window that can be opened so the temperature is necessarily controlled with the air conditioning. I am curious, is the air conditioning set to a specific temperature, cold like often in airplanes or a more ambient temperature? I'd like to figure if...	During summer, the temperature is set between 18 and 22ºC depending on the temperature outside ( the higher outside, the lower) , counting that a lot of people generate a lot of temperature and that human odour is less noticeable on cold air, and during winter, it's set between 20 and 25ºC.

Does a long flight on a jet provide a headstart to altitude acclimatisation?
