Hi Tinz,
Interesting question. My impression is that this would be possible. The Eurail Global Pass is the equivalent of a full-fare 2nd class ticket so I can’t see why a class upgrade would not work. Don’t hold me to it. You could email SBB to check with them but as far as they are concerned the Glacier Express is just a regular rail route.
Note: If you are travelling with a 2nd Class Swiss Travel Pass but want to travel 1st Class on any particular trip you can buy a Class upgrade at any SBB station or using the SBB Mobile App or here bit.ly/2rZEIXh. You need to buy a route specific upgrade.
If you buy on line you need to nominate a Half-fare Card reduction to get the correct price (using either website of SBB app). An upgrade will cost half the difference between 1st and 2nd class full-fares.

Hi Tinz,
I agree, it is possible. I would purchase this at the station though, to be sure you’re getting the right upgrade. Upgrades don’t sell out. Reservations do sell out, so those should be purchased asap: http://www.myswissalps.com/gl acierexpress/tickets.
