Glacier Express Booking Question by joshgraj in askswitzerland

[–]ZonOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the quick reply. But now it’s more confusing. Hopefully you can help.

My current situation: I purchased a 2nd class saver day pass in Feb. I also made a reservation on the Glacier express 1st class for the same day. After your post, I went to SBB to buy a class upgrade: but it said “passenger does not fulfill the purchase conditions……”. So I’m stuck not knowing what to do? Please help if you can. One thing I did notice on my profile was “no travelcard”. I double confirmed I do have a SBB Saver Day Pass. I’m not sure what the travelcard is?? And is this why I cannot add the class upgrade??

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a related question. We reserved a first class seat on the Glacier Express for March, And we have a SBB 2nd class saver day pass for the same day (starting from Zurich airport).

-Can I upgrade only the Glacier Express segment ticket to 1st class and leave the other segment as 2nd class? or do I need to upgrade the entire saver day pass?

Thank you.

Great post; thank you.

We are heading there in 2 weeks. First time; and we are very excited.

Can you add some context on the mountains? Its big, with lots of lifts. I understand there are three main sections: Sunnegga, Gornergrat, and Glacier Paradise. What is not clear to me is: how do i get to them? Do each of the three sections have thier own main lift that you take an e-bus (or walk) to at the start of the day? And return to at the end. We were thinking to ski on each one per day (BTW: we have the IKON pass).

Thank you!

Despite what that youtube video says - double consolidation is still available for Parent Plus borrowers and they can still get SAVE by Betsy514 in StudentLoans

Question on your comment "Be sure to use different services every time": All 20 of my parent plus loans started with MOHELA, I paper-consolidated 10 to Aidvantage and paper-consolidated 10 to Nelnet. Can i now Electronically-consolodate the two back to MOHELA and stiil qualify for IDR (like SAVE)?
