    Hello All, I purchased a Swiss Travel Pass for my week in June. I bought 2 reservation seats for the Glacier Express through Happy Rail. I emailed them about next steps for me booking my seats and was told they took my request and will try to accommodate my request for 1×1 seats in 1st class. Wondering if anyone knows if Happy Rail will take care of my seating or will I have to log on somewhere and book my own seats with my Swiss Travel Pass.

    Thank you!!

    Hi Hans,

    Don’t worry, Happy Rail will get back to you with a confirmation soon enough. Normally you can make seat reservations on the Glacier Express up to 3 months in advance. Since you are travelling in June, what Happy Rail does now is pre-book the seat for you and once they have a seat secured they will email you a confirmation. If you still have concerns, you should write to them and ask for a clarification.

    Thank You Anna! I am just confused if Happy Rail picks my seats or if I have to pick them off another webiste. They did write me back saying they would take care of it so hopefully all goes well. I just want to try and make sure I get the single side seats. 🙂

    Hello Hans,

    Happyrail will book the desired seat, if available. There’s nothing else you need to do, except perhaps double check the reservation once received.

    Have fun!
