Thank you so very much for clarifying this Swiss Pass. I'll be in Switzerland next month exploring and I found the choice in trains quite stressful. But you both made it easier. Thank you for your smiles and easy explanation. I've binge watched all or most of your vids and i learned something new each time from you both. Thank you again

Hello!
Just wanted to thank you guys for all the videos you posted about the travel passes and which trains to choose. While planning our trip to Switzerland, we knew we wanted to travel by train and we were so overwhelmed with all the different passes and had no idea where to start. We took notes during your videos and were able to find the 2 passes that made the most sense for our trip. The Swiss half fare and the Jungrau pass. Saved us so much money and it was so easy to navigate. We had a wonderful trip and loved traveling by train.
THANK YOU SO

We are SO happy we found your channel. We are planning our second winter trip to Switzerland and your videos offer the clearest, most easily understood explanation of the Swiss Travel Pass and Half Fare Card. We will be watching all of your videos-you guys are great!

Thank you SO much for.the info about 1/2 price cards and Berner Oberland travel passes. We had a wonderful trip to Grindelwald and enjoyed the free gondola rides included in our pass plus all of the regional trains and buses. Jungfraujoch tickets were half price - it was just all so helpful!!!🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭

I have no experience when it comes to trip planning so it's been difficult to get my head around so much information. This video has been really helpful!

[Giahomemadeproductions]

Awesome video, guys! Very informative and helpful. Keep it up!

It is very unfortunate that public transport becomes so pricey in Switzerland which defeat the purpose of using it randomly and put off many to travel to this beautiful country. A visitor cannot plan whether they decide not to travel on a particular day but instead spend time in a town area as some people do make on-the-spot decision but the flexi pass is more pricey and the swiss pass is determined by days(durations)...so it feels like visitors are "trapped" by this system introduced by SBB.

I recently purchased a Swiss Travel Pass (second class) and have a few questions about using it:
1. For travel within major stations, like going from Lucerne to Kriens, do I need to purchase a separate ticket through the SBB app or at the station, or can I hop on the train with my Swiss Travel Pass?
2. When booking through the SBB app, do I select “GA Travelcard, 2nd class” under the "Travelcards for Switzerland" section in the passenger info? Is that the correct option for the Swiss Travel Pass?
3. For journeys where reservations are mandatory, like the Glacier Express, do I need to buy the ticket separately in advance? And if my reservation is in first class but my Swiss Travel Pass is for second class, can I upgrade to first class through the app or at the boarding station?
I’d appreciate any insights or advice from those who have experience with this!
Thanks!

Greetings from sunny California. It's a good video. We (three adults: 61, 55, and 28 years old) are planning to visit Switzerland on May 2024 (a few weeks from now!), and we'll consult you!

[azadehmozafarimehr]

Thank you! Last year, based on your videos I made really a good plan to go around the Switzerland in a very short time. That was the best travel I ever had.

[Pumpkinpie]

This was great! I am looking forward to the Jungfrau Pass explanation for sure!

[HanziDesigns]

Thank you so much for this! We're traveling for 6 days this summer, and this is so helpful.

[music_adventures]

Thank you very much! It's really helpful for my family to travel in 2 months' time though it's not my first time to Switzerland. I agree the best pass to get will be Swiss pass compare to other options.

I went to Switzerland to stay there with my mom for 10 days last September and visited so many places. Your videos helped us at every corner of the trip and this one about the swiss travel pass was the best guide! I knew exactly what I would need and what I would rather avoid. Thank you two for the amazing work!
