We are now seated at Couch 1. Yes, it happened to us now, we were moved twice since everyone who hop on has seats reservation. I guess becauae this journey is going to Milano Centrale. (Trenetalia)We will be back to Basel after 2 days and same the seats reservation is still optional. Which carriage/couch do you advise we should hop on to avoid this kind of situation. Thanks.

What is the difference of Seat reservation recommended and Seat reservation optional?

"Meanwhile Swiss trains rarely offer reservations. And even when they do nobody makes them, the system doesn’t work around reservations here (unless you’re a big school class). You hop on and sit wherever you want. Expect 1st class to be pretty empty, 2nd class is expensive enough for most people :)" - as per the previous message, we did the hop on and sit wherever we want. The only downside if the seats has been reserved by other passenger then we have to change seats again. Is it really possible we can sit on 1st class couch?

Hi, thank ypu for your assistance. We choae the 12.44 time. I have log in OBB, and added the Eurail for discount. Selected the seat reservation only and choose the seat number. There is a charge of €9.00. This is correct, right? 1st class will be seated on Couch 27?

Eurail website’s timing and Eurail app planner timing is different

Thank you, booked!

Maybe it is better to take this night train to be safe for the three of us. Right?

Hello, Since we've been receiving the Global Pass tickets via email, do we still need to process an activation of the tickets at the train station window?I remember 4 years ago there were steps to activate the tickets. Is there still a travel calendar?

Could you please help us which Global Pass to take?

Is Eurail Global Pass valid/works for public and ferries transportation in Switzerland?

How do I get free public transportation within the city during our stay?

Thank you for your response. Yes, we wish to visit Iseltwald. Maybe you can recommend some places since Lake Brienz and Harder Kulm are not operating during the winter.We’ve been to Zurich, Lucerne, Mt. Titlis, and Zermatt and visited Bern too four years ago but all of those places were arranged by travel tour packages. This December, we were planning to visit on our own.We will be staying in Bern and Basel.

Could you please give us the best advice if we can use the Eurail Global Pass from Barcelona to Madrid? Or what could be the fastest train we can ride for a day-trip tour to Madrid? Thank you.

Hi, just a quick question. We are still thinking about this trip. We just want to make sure we have seats on this 12hrs trip. I have checked on the https://shop.oebbtickets.at/ . I am a little confused, Can you PLEASE help us if we should pay this 9€? I am travelling with 2 seniors and just don't want them to get tired of changing trains. Thank you in advance. Do you have also an idea why there is no drop down for us to be able to buy tickets, like on the other timings.
