Still trying to figure out what pass to get. Have not done the spreadsheet yet so will get to that but ? on the flex. Since we will be there 3 weeks, was thinking the 15 day flex might be good idea. Especially since I do get a few city travel passes in a few places that will provide what we need. As I searched forums, it seems you can get either online pass or download a paper? With paper, it appears you just write the date for when you use it to show and online you have to go the the web (not app) and indicate days. Am I correct? I have noticed the TA forum (from the question I have asked and some others I have read) really does not like the flex pass and even the STP. They ususally recommend half fare and I still might do that. I like the flexibility of the STP. I have looked into the GA monthly but it seems so mixed and I also got the response from SBB that they cant mail it to me in states and not sure I want to deal with sending to a hotel. Anywho., appreciate your help and input for those who have used this flex.
Have a great day!

The Flex pass is rarely a good option.
You will probably be wanting to do trips up mountain railways and cable cars etc... And for those you will not get a reduction unless you activate a day in the Flex Pass. So you will end up using it for its reduction, and not for its free travel on many days.
I think that you should just get the Half Fare Card, and combine it with local passes in the areas you visit.
