Getting Swiss Travel Pass discounts before activation Dates

chummi

We will travelling from Lucerne to Paris on May 22 and I am getting the no charge on the ticket for the Swiss portion of travel even though my Swiss travel pass is not activated , the activation date set on my Swiss travel pass is June 2 . Is this an error ?

Hello chummi

Welcome to the SBB Community.

I am not sure if I understand your question.

What is for sure: the ticketing system has no idea about your Swiss Travel Pass that is only valid in the future, unless you have manually activated the GA Travel Card discount in the traveller information, which would be wrong.

If you purchase a ticket from Lucerne to Paris, it will sell you a through-ticket, valid for the whole journey.

I just wundered why you travel from Lucerne via Geneva, while travelling via Basel SBB faster. Is it the cost?

Kind regards,
Roland
