Hello,

Just wondering, Can we laminate STP (Swiss Travel Pass) ? if anyone tried that ? Please let me know if by laminating it works when scanned ?

Should be OK.

See http://www.myswissalps.com/fo rum/topic/swiss-travel-pass-is-the-way-to-go#fnpWjKDW9mqS6v8AAFc RTQ.

You can also take PDF available and print backup copies in case the original gets damaged.

Hi Euro2018,

As Rockoyster said it should be ok, but it’s not necessary. The instructions say to just print it. My pass was fine in my wallet for 15 days. Scanning the QR code by train staff was never a problem. I had a spare copy in my backpack and left one in the accommodation, and the electronic copy in the cloud. No way I could loose the pass for sure 🙂

We took a photo on our phones of the printed hard copy pass and the train staff scanned the QR code without any problem. I just made the photo a favourite so it was easy to find. NB make sure the pass is on a flat surface when you take the photo.

Well that’s a new twist.

That’s interesting Travelsmoo. Nevertheless I recommend to always (also) take the printed version along, as that’s the only valid form of a pass as of now. Anything else may be accepted by one train conductor and not by the other.

We folded our travel passes in half and laminated one copy each. Trimmed off the excess and they worked a treat. Compact, durable and easy to access in our handbags and train staff had no problem scanning them, some even commented what a good idea. Travelled for 15 days this year.

We were traveling with our 3 x 20something sons and one of them suggested it.

Arno, we also carried the hard copy passes just in case someone wanted to see them.

Hi

We used the printout thefirst few times. Then we shifted to the soft copy on the mobile phone.That was much easier.

Have a great trip!!
