Gotthard Panorama Express – 1st class seat upgrade
A traveler is wondering about their second-class Swiss Travel Pass and a first-class seat reservation on the Gotthard Panorama Express. They want to know if the reservation covers an upgrade to first class and whether they need to reserve seats for the boat part of the journey. Help is needed to clarify these details.
- You need to buy a first-class ticket in addition to your seat reservation for the Gotthard Panorama Express.
- For the Luzern lake steamers, second class is fine, and no seat reservations are required since most seats are unmarked.
- If necessary, you can take any regular steamer from Luzern to Fluelen or Treno Gottardo trains to Locarno.

Hello! i have a second class swiss travel pass. i already booked a first class gotthard panorama express seat reservation. Does this fee include the upgrade from 2nd class ro first or its just for the reservation of the seat and i need to buy a ticket for 1st class.
Do i need to reserve for the 1st class seat for the boat part? if so how do i do it.

You need a 1st class ticket to travel on the Gotthard Panorama Express train, but on the Luzern lake steamers, you can travel second class -there is less difference between 1st and 2nd class on boats, especially of you want to travel on the open deck, which most people prefer. There are no seats to ‘reserve’ on lake steamers as most of the seating is unmarked.
Do remember that if the worst comes to the worst you can do the same journey on any regular steamer Luzern – Fluelen, and any of the hourly Treno Gottardo trains Fluelen – Locarno
Hi Angkai2,
You need a seat upgrade to 1st class to travel on the Gotthard Panorama Express train. This is usually not included in the seat reservation. You can find more information on how to do the upgrade here: http://www.myswissalps.com/gotthardpanoramaexpress/tickets
Hope this helps.
