Upgrade 2nd class STP to Bernina Express 1st class

SOLVED

Hi! i have make a purchase for 8-days Swiss Travel Pass (2nd class) for my upcoming Swiss holidays in March 2023.

I'm intending to take Bernina Express 1st class, therefore i am thinking of upgrading for 1st class for that day of travelling. I understand this can be done through Day Class Upgrade? Can buy that to pair with my reservation for Bernina Express 1st class. I went to SBB website and there is day Class purchase at CHF52. But under the discount option - there is only "No Discount", Half Fare Travel Card, Youth and Children Travelcard. What do i do? Do i click the Half Fare travel card?

As a tourist, can the STP be uploaded to the SBB app?

Thank you!

Hello @sturbie 

As a general saying, with the STP 2nd class you can buy any class upgrade at half fare (1/2); simply select "Half Fare Card" as reduction type. 

You have multiple options. There is a

  • day class upgrade
  • point-to-point class upgrade

In the SBB Mobile app (and only there) you can find in addition a Saver Class Upgrade and a saver point-to-point upgrade.

Simply enter the route in the timetable application and select the connection as you would buy a ticket. Below the tickets options you can find the class upgrade options. Saver class upgrades are subject to availability.

An STP is automatically available in the app provided you bought it with your SBB account. STP's bought as guest or with agencies cannot be added to the SBB Mobile App. You can only display them as PDF, together with a valid ID/passport.

Best regards,
Roland
