I will be purchasing a 2nd class Berner Oberland Pass which covers Golden Pass Express from Montreux – Interlaken Ost. I want to upgrade to 1st class for this journey but the only applicable options when booking the ticket are Only Reservation & Half Fare Card. If I select Only Reservation for 1st class but have 2nd class BOP, then this wont be vaild. If I selct HFC then it charges me for the journey which is covered by BOP. Please can someone explain to me how I can upgrade to 1st class on teh SBB website thanks.
