Do rail-pass holders pay for the seat?+
Yes. An accepted rail pass may cover or reduce the fare, but the mandatory panoramic-coach reservation remains payable.
Do these prices apply to regional trains?+
No. The seat supplements apply to the Bernina Express panoramic coach. Regional trains use their own route tickets and do not require this reservation.

The ticket and panoramic seat must cover the same section, travel date and class.
