    Hello, and apologies for what is 99% certainly a stupid question. I made Seat reservations for the 902 Zermatt-Chur train some time ago, choosing: Carriage No25, Seats 55-56. I’ve just had a look at my booking date, and carriages are numbered 1,2,3,4. I don’t want to be paranoid, but don’t fancy buying the rail tix if my seat reservations are fake. Many thanks, M.

    Hello Maggierome and welcome to MySwissAlps.com!

    There are no stupid questions! 🙂

    May I ask where you bought your seat reservation? Here? http://www.myswissalps.com/glacierexpress/tickets If yes, then for sure everything is OK with your seat reservation.

    Hi Ildiko, thanks for replying so quickly. I booked direct on glacierexpress .ch. Website and email with Seat reservation ticket looks fine, and my tickets appear in Swisspass.ch, in the account I created when I booked the seat reservations. So it would be a very good fraud if all fake.

    Seems all fine to me Maggierome. I’m not sure what tickets you had in mind but the Saver Day Pass might be a good option: http://www.myswissalps.com/saverdaypass.

    Enjoy the trip!

    Thanks Arno. I think I’ll just relax: if all the websites had been fake, I’m sure I’d have had much more money taken from my credit card by now! This is such a useful forum, thanks to you, Ildiko and others.

    I also bought seat reservations last week on RHB Glacier Express website and my carriage number is 35. I used the link from Swiss Alps forum info area.

    Hi jlwt,

    The RhB website is perfectly reliable.

    But just to make sure: didn’t you make double bookings? In your first post you mentioned you reserved the 902 train Zermatt-Chur a while ago. That’s the Glacier Express, and you also made Glacier Express reservations through the RhB website last week. If that’s for 2 separate journeys that’s fine of course :-).
