While reserving seats are you allowed to select specific seats on the GE? I am pretty certain i was being given the option to select seats before....but when i actually tried to reserve today....i was taken to the payment page after enterng the passenger details. Am i using an incorrect link?

Glacier Express. This is is the Switzerland forum.
I don't know how the seat selection works, but you probably want to be on the north side of the train ( right side westbound). That is where the mountains are.

Actually, the left side is very good too. Best part is the Oberalp Pass.

Yes, I realize that it is the Switerland forum. That didn't explain the abbreviation, so thanks.

What link were you using? This is the train's own site: http://www.glacierexpress.ch/EN/timetable_tickets/Timetable/winter/Pages/default.aspx. If "before" was your reservation for the Bernina Express, then their web sites won't necessarily act the same way.

No you can't select the seats, the system allocates you a seat automatically - I booked couple of reservations on line this year. If you go to an SBB ticket office, they may be able to select the seats for you.
