    Hello,

    I’m looking to book me, my wife and a 10 year old child on the GoldenPass Express Prestige Class between Interlaken and Montreux.

    I’ve found the train and likely we’ll want the 9:08a departure from Interlaken Ost.

    We currently have 2nd class Swiss Travel Pass with the Family Card (for free travel for our child).

    As I understand it, we would need to upgrade point to point from 2nd class to first class, and then again to Prestige class, and add reservations (recommended)?

    However, as I go into the SBB app, I only have an option to upgrade from 2nd class to 1st class point to point.  How do I upgrade all the way to Prestige?  (see attached screenshot from app)

    Regarding seat reservations I understand they won’t open up until 2 months out from our travel date.

    Thanks for your advice.
