Seat reservation for Golden Pass line 4 Jan

Short summary – read this first

Rachel is planning a trip from Montreux to Zweissmen on January 4 and is worried because she cannot reserve a seat despite having a 1st class ticket. She has already booked her itinerary around this trip and is seeking clarification about whether the unavailability means all seats are booked or if it's just too early to reserve.

Key takeaways:
  • Don't worry too much; there might just be a website issue, and there are likely plenty of seats available.
  • If you're concerned, consider reaching out to MOB via email or phone for assistance.
  • You can also try reserving a seat closer to your travel date if available online.

    Hi,

    I have already bought a 1st class ticket for 13.44 Montreux-Zweissmen on 4 January, but when I try to reserve a seat I get this error message:

    Leider gibt es an diesem Tag / zu dieser Zeit keine reservierbaren Züge.
    Bitte wählen Sie ein anderes Datum oder lassen Sie sich auch Züge ohne Reservationsmöglichkeit anzeigen.

    I understand it means there are no ‘reservable seats’ on this particular train, but does that mean all seats are booked so I cannot travel on that train? Or does it just mean I can’t reserve a seat yet because it is too far in the future?

    My whole itinerary (already booked!) centres around this trip so I am a bit worried, but as I can see seats available on trains up to 14 December, I’m hoping it’s just a timing issue.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Rachel

    Hello Rachel and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

    I would say you have hit a website problem. Even their translation makes little sense. See attached.

    It looks like there are plenty of 1st Class seats still available.

    I travelled on the Belle Époque, late September and there were only 2 reserved seats and only 8 people in the 1st Class carriage.

    You could try emailing or calling MOB if you are worried. Or make a reservation at http://www.myswissalps.com/go ldenpass/packages.
