Reserving seat on the Golden Pass Panoramic train
-
We i.e., me and my wife, are looking to travel to Swistzerland in Oct. We came across this forum and our Many Many Thanks to the creators – Arno and Annika. What a beautiful piece of devotion by you guys….
We have some questions pls. I tried searching in your forums in different ways, but didn’t manage to find an answer.
I was trying to do a reservation for the VIP seats on Golden Pass in http://www.goldenpass.ch.
- It appears in the Montreux to zweisimmen sector of the GoldenPass, the first coach requires a 1st class pass, and the 2nd coach can be boarded with a 2nd class pass? I did not see a specific note anywhere to that effect. I nearly booked a VIP seat (even though it’s a 2nd class pass that I hold!)
- Over here……..http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/reservations ………..and in other posts…I am still a bit confused……..i think you are saying, even in scenic trains, reservations are NOT MANDATORY, but some sectors its recommended. (Exception being VIP seats, where its required).
- In the same sector, Montreux to Zweisimmen, when I look at the 2nd coach (i.e., the 2nd class coach) – I see all the seats on the right half of the coach are greyed out i.e fully booked. Whereas the seats on the left half of the coach are almost entirely available. Is it because the view is far better in the right half? A few seats on this left half are taken, and those are always the rear right or left corner – again, is that ‘cos the view’s the best? Whats in the middle of the coach – is that something that blocks the view? Pls see attached picture…
- I also see in many posts, that you cannot really book the right or left side of the train, because the direction of the train isn’t mentioned. But in http://www.goldenpass.ch, it appears pretty clear to me, or am I seeing something wrong?
- I have a 2nd class Swiss Pass – How much will it cost to upgrade to 1st class, so that I can enjoy the VIP seats ? the difference between the 1st and 2nd class price is CHF24 (http://www.goldenpass.ch/asse ts/media/pdf/prix_2016 _en.pdf) is that what I pay? Can the upgrade be done online?
Thanks a ton for any responses
