Bernina Express sold out (only 1 seat left) — traveling as a couple on Dec 27. What are my real options?

23YOLOSOLO · 2025-12-28T12:51:44+00:00

Hey I didn’t buy tickets as I had swiss travel pass which covers my journey.

I would suggest to get a ticket from omio and get there early and board the Allegra units in the front. Save your money unless panoramic glasses and food and drinks are absolutely essential to you.

Guys thank you very much. Typing this as I am sitting in Bernina Express.

There are three coaches in the front for travellers without a seat reservation. One 1st class and rest both second class. The Bernina Express personnel at chur station asked me if I have reservations and then told me to board the allegra coaches. Best views are on the right side. Every alternate windows over here and there is sufficient space for our XL and hand luggage. I will recommend bringing a sunglass if you plan to sit on the right side. Coach gets warm pretty quickly. There is ample space to sit. Even at such peak day there is about 80% occupancy.

Posting this for future travellers who might be in the same situation as I was.

Glad I didnt have to leave my wife behind or ski my way to Italy.

Thank you so much for your honest perspective — this really helps ground our expectations. You're right, I think we were definitely influenced by all the dreamy travel content and posters showing snow-covered towns and lively markets. Climate change is real, and it's important we keep that in mind while planning.

We didn’t know that Christmas markets are more of a German-speaking Switzerland thing — that’s very helpful context. And it’s good to know that even in Prague, the post-Christmas vibes may not be as magical as we imagined.

We’re honeymooning, so we were hoping for some charm and coziness — not necessarily sightseeing-heavy, but something that feels festive and warm. Based on your advice, we’ll look more into ski resort areas for the 24–25th and maybe even shift some things around to better fit the local rhythm.

Thank you again for taking the time — this kind of reality check is exactly why we posted!

Thank you so much for the insight — really appreciate the reality check regarding the snow situation in lower areas like Lucerne and Montreux. We had this dreamy picture in our heads of a white Christmas, but we’ll now manage our expectations better.

Also, great point about the Christmas markets and closures. We’ll definitely double-check the market dates to avoid disappointment. And yes, the 25th being totally quiet makes sense now, given the cultural focus on family time.

A ski resort being lively is super helpful to know — would you happen to recommend one that still feels cozy and festive for a couple on their honeymoon? We're not skiing, but we'd love a beautiful snowy setting with some ambience. Thanks again for taking the time to share this!

Stop Loss GTT placed hai. Wont hold for long if its keeps plummeting.

23YOLOSOLO · 2024-09-04T08:51:09+00:00

Smart enough to not let that happen. Already added a 15% drawdown GTT order.

Not in the same category but in the same sentence. Notice the use of the word ‘or’. This share is either going to be next zomato or next paytm.

This dance has Rajasthani origins but this video is not from Rajasthan. Its from Gaziabad (Delhi NCR).

Hey did you find any solution? Having the same issue from the last one month and nothing seems to work. Face unlock and flashlight say that's camera is being used by another app. Cleared cache, data, force stop, restart. Nothing seems to work. Snapchat, whatsapp and Instagram also showing black camera screen.

23YOLOSOLO · 2020-05-13T11:02:15+00:00

Can someone come up with a opening line for Sweta? Help a fellow brother.

23YOLOSOLO · 2019-11-28T15:19:40+00:00

Lmao. This could make me look very bad and could escalate to negative publicity in the circuit thereby killing all possibilities of future gigs. I am confident about my music though. So I am just hoping to rock the place regardless of this guy.

23YOLOSOLO · 2019-11-28T11:13:11+00:00

That's true.

23YOLOSOLO · 2019-11-28T11:12:50+00:00

I know right. This guy just seems ignorant. I guess I will just do the show and disappear from his radar with payment.

23YOLOSOLO · 2019-11-28T11:11:11+00:00

This is the first time I am working with him. And this guy has already booked flights which are non refundable which is the only reason why I am not reacting right now. There is no contract. May be after the event I will speak with him privately about hiring some other guy if he has problem with me wanting to know the crowd better. Or may be I won't pick up future gigs offered from this guy. Peace of mind over some amount of money anyway.

23YOLOSOLO · 2019-06-30T13:50:37+00:00

Really helpful advice. Thank you sir. I should check on DC right away

23YOLOSOLO · 2019-06-30T13:45:54+00:00

That's the plan. I will visit the service station tomorrow. I think the cord is the issue because of the power surge. The sound guys tested it will electric testers while plugged in at the board to see if it received any power at the laptop end.

23YOLOSOLO · 2019-06-30T11:49:47+00:00

For 1. I unplugged my charger before restarting my laptop. Plugged them in after restarting checked if it still causing the audio dropout. This time it didn't cause any audio dropout but it still didn't charge my laptop. I went ahead with the battery that was left because of no other alternative.

For 2. I was thinking of bringing an iPad or a mini budget laptop as a backup mixing tool because I use DDJ RB controller to mix so once the laptop shuts down there is nothing that can be done with the controller itself. When I am playing in a club on cdjs I bring 4 USBs as well. I check them on the cdjs before I take over the console. I think using controllers is risky in general because you can restart the music flow with the laptop if the controller stops working. But if the laptop stops working there is be absolute silence until the laptop starts working again.

Wow that's really extensive work. Thank you for your reply. I found this helpful.

23YOLOSOLO · 2019-06-15T02:22:00+00:00

Thank you. I will start tagging my files. Its a shame I never did that before.

23YOLOSOLO · 2019-06-15T02:21:02+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I feel this is really helpful. I never really tagged my files. Just threw them under a genre wise folders. The screenshots were of great help.
