We will be buying 2nd class Swiss Travel Cards for 8 days Sept-Oct, 2020 travel, but would like to upgrade to 1st class for our Bernina Express excursion from Lugano to Chur. When making the seat reservation six months ahead, do I reserve seats in 1st or 2nd class? Thank you.

Hello Janbarn and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

If you want to travel in 1st Class you need to reserve a seat in 1st Class. See http://www.myswissalps.com/forum/topic/seat-reservations-on-the-bernina-express.

If you are travelling with a 2nd Class Swiss Travel Pass but want to travel 1st Class on any particular trip you can buy a Class upgrade at any SBB station or using the SBB Mobile App (bit.ly/2ICIUHi ) or here bit.ly/2rZEIXh. You need to buy a route specific upgrade.

If you buy on line you need to nominate a Half-fare Card reduction to get the correct price (using either website or SBB app). An upgrade will cost half the difference between 1st and 2nd class full-fares.
