All the queries about the Swiss Rail Pass have been helpful for me. The best choice for me is the 15 day Swiss Rail Pass purchased in advance but I'm still confused which vendor to purchase it from. Rick Steves offers a $478.50 and MySwissAlps offers 429 CHF (@$461).
Has anyone spotted a better deal or a discount on another site?
Lastly, I will be taking the Golden Pass train from Interlaken to Montreux. I realize my Swiss Rail Pass will cover this but do I need to make a seat reservation for the panoramic car? Is that reservation fee covered with my Swiss Rail Pass? I'd especially like to reserve one of the VIP seats offered between Zweisimmen and Montreux.
