Help with upgrade using BOP 2nd class

Posted by on

I have purchased my HFC and my 2nd class 4 day BOP card. I've made a 1st class seat reservation on the Luzern Interlaken Express train. I will continue on to Murren. But now I'm stuck.

How do I upgrade that portion of the trip to 1st class on my BOP card? Do I do that on the SBB app? How does the app know whether I have the BOP card?

For the rest of the trip, do I need to make any kind of reservation, or do I just show up on the train and show my BOP pass?

I would be so grateful if someone could walk me through that. I've already messed up on a previous train ticket and don't want to do that again.

Thank you!

You will purchase a first class upgrade in the SBB app.

You will show both your BOP and the upgrade on the train when the conductor comes by. As long as you have both of those in hand at the time of travel, that is all you need.

For the rest of the trip, do I need to make any kind of reservation,
or do I just show up on the train and show my BOP pass?

No, reservations are not even possible for the rest of your trip (Interlaken Ost to Mürren). Show your pass when asked on the train and again at the turnstile before heading up to Mürren.

Here is how to purchase an upgrade in the SBB app:

  1. Enter Luzern - Interlaken Ost
  2. Choose date and time of departure
  3. Tap on the red bar saying “tickets from, and an amount”
  4. Choose Point-to-point class upgrade (mine shows this to be CHF 12.00)
  5. Purchase ticket
