Hello, Can anyone please if there will be an issue at the time of boarding the train if there is a spelling error on the name on the Swiss Fare card bought on line and if so, is there a way out to fix it in advance of boarding the train? By oversight there was one of the letters of the last name (Surname) got missed. Now both the Swiss Half Fare card issued and the train ticket booked (both bought on line) are missing a letter as compared to the passport. Thanks for your assistance.

Hi Kanth1999 and welcome to MySwissAlps!
Was it the last letter of the name missing? This might be due to the of the field length limit on names – longer names can’t fit. Either way, a one letter difference should not be an issue as long as the passport number is correct.
Hello Lucas,
Thanks for your prompt response. It was one of the letters in the middle (auto correct issue!) – however, other details such as, passport number, DOB, etc were correct. Being a first time visitor(s) to the country, just wanted to be doubly sure.
Thanks again,
K
