    For our tour during 3-14 July, we will buy family STP (2 adults with 3 kids below 8yrs). We are waiting to see if there is any promotions.

    Meanwhile, can we make reservations in some of the trains where reservations are required like GEX? Is the reservation charge same for without STP and with STP?

    Regards, Aslam

    Hi Aslam,

    Yes, you can make reservations before you buy the Swiss Travel Pass – In some cases you may need to indicate you have (will have) the Swiss Travel Pass – this is fine, it won’t ask you for further details; just make sure you have it on the train.
    The charge is the same for everyone, no matter the ticket or pass they may have.

    Cheers,
    Lucas

    Thanks Lucas. One supplementary question – Once reservation is made, can it be changed/modified or cancelled without additional charge?

    Kind regards,

    Aslam

    No, the reservations would be non-refundable so make sure your plans are set before booking! Fees are set by the retailers so you need to check with them to know exactly.

    Hi Lucas,

    on the STP promotions, how can I proactively be notified that there is a current promotion?
