Tickets for Pune Duronto Express are sold by Indian Railways through the official booking portal at irctc.co.in. Indian Railways tickets through IRCTC require account registration with a verified email and mobile number. The general advance reservation window is 60 days before the journey date for most trains.

On the day of travel, arrive at the originating station at least 30–45 minutes before the scheduled departure time. This gives time to locate the correct platform (platform number is announced on station information displays 20–60 minutes before departure), find your reserved coach (coach numbers are marked along the platform edge at major stations), and board with your luggage. Sleeper class passengers should note that bedrolls (linen, pillow, blanket) are typically provided by the operator on overnight services — confirm at the time of booking. Carry a light jacket or shawl as air-conditioning can run cold during the early-morning hours of the journey. Keep valuables in a small bag stowed under the lower berth rather than in overhead racks. Always cross-check the platform number against your e-ticket or seat reservation before boarding — multiple trains can depart within a short window from adjacent platforms during peak periods.
