Hi so I reserved seats for the bernina express in the summer , I paid €75 to reserve 2 seats, i put interail pass into the reductions box , is this the correct price I paid ? even tho we have interail passes and the price didn't seem to reduce when i selected interail in reductions. Also do I need to do anything else only turn up on the day and present my reservation printout and interail pass ?
Yes this is the correct price for the panorama carriages : 36 CHF per person + Interrail fees. It increased from last year at 25 CHF :(
You need to log the train before boarding like usual and then show both the app and the reservation.
There are reservation-free carriages at the front : no panorama windows but less crowded and pull-down windows.
Thanks for the reply, when you say log do you mean enter it into my interail planner before travelling ?
Also this is the only journey on my route that I think needed booking well in advance, so for the the other train journeys how far in advance should I reserve those ? And are there train journeys I won't need to reserve?
Thanks

Within Switzerland, no reservations are needed.
Night trains, Eurostar and international TGVs should be booked as soon as you know your travel date. For the rest: it depends. If you mention toute, date and departure time, people may be able to give some indications.

Correct. Reservations in Switzerland are not a thing. You can reserve some trains but almost nobody does it and it's basically wasted money.

Lake Garda is not a station. There are several towns along that lake, so you should check where you want to go.
But it should be no problem to book your reservations a few weeks in advance. Also, regional trains in Italy, such as Tirano to Milan, don't have reservations. Just board and find a seat.
Trains in Italy (Frecce + Intercity) can be booked on tickets.oebb.at (no booking fees). Same for Ljubljana to Budapest.
