Class upgrade
Treat yourself to a trip in first class
If you have a ticket, a day pass or a GA for the 2nd class, you can subsequently convert your ticket into a 1st class ticket. This allows you to travel in 1st class on a specific route or for a whole day or even a whole month.
Tip: travelling with a Supersaver Class Upgrade is particularly good value. Look out for corresponding offers in the BLS Mobil App or in the BLS Webshop.
