    Hi again.

    We are considering which Swiss Travel Pass to purchase and apparently you can get a Jungfraujoch promotion if you buy a “standard” consecutive day Swiss Travel Pass.(Through the Swiss Travel Center): http://www.myswissalps.com/fo rum/topic/free-reservations-to-jungfraujoch-more-discounts.

    However if you decide to purchase a Flex Swiss Travel Pass it is difficult to determine if you can get that same promotion???

    If not I am curious as to the reason?

    Thank you again for your help.

    Brad

    Well there is no link to get a flex pass with the promotion so I think the answer is no.

    Are you sure the flex pass is the best solution for your itinerary? It comes at a cost premium.

    Have you read “How to choose the best travel pass” (http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass), downloaded the handy spreadsheet calculator and done the math?

    Thank you for your quick response and the related links.

    I agree that there is no link for the promotion “attached” with purchasing the flex STP.

    Also once we decide to buy the appropriate STP we are considering purchasing it via the Swiss Travel Center internet site.

    Is this site known to be a safe and reliable site to purchase the Swiss Travel Pass ?

    Thank you again for your help.

    Hi Brad,

    Definately safe. It is the official SBB outlet for tourists. Any of the retailers at http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/price are trusted.

    Hi Brad,

    Officially this offer does not apply to the Swiss Travel Pass Flex. However, I’ve learned there is a way to make this work even though they don’t promote that: if you order the Swiss Travel Pass Flex and the Jungfraujoch ticket from https://shop.switzerla ndtravelcentre.com/#/e n/home, and then contact them with your order number (see http://www.myswissalps.com/ab outus/partners/sbb), they can make this work anyway.

    Apart from that, I agree with Rockoyster: the Swiss Travel Pass Flex might perfectly fit your plans, but in 90% of the cases the regular Swiss Travel Pass is the best option. It’s important to realize that the Swiss Travel Pass Flex is more expensive per travel day but offers the same benefits as the Swiss Travel Pass. On non-travel days, there are no benefits at all.

    You can compare the passes here and use Rockoyster’s link to do the math if you wish:
