Resort Information
Transfers
All transfers in Switzerland are on the magnificent Swiss Rail System, sometimes including a boat or postbus journey. Swiss trains are as punctual as the Swiss watch with comfortable carriages, most with washroom facilities on board, and many have minibar services & restaurants. Sit back and enjoy the magnificent scenery! Swiss Transfer Ticket / Half-Fare Card
Your 2nd Class Swiss transfer ticket includes your journey from the airport to your holiday destination(s) and back to the airport, but also acts as a HALF-FARE card, giving you 50% off any additional train tickets bought during your holiday (upgrade to 1st Class for just £24 per person).
Fly Rail Luggage Transfers
This allows you to check your luggage in at your UK airport all the way to your resort in Switzerland, and from resort back to the UK on the return journey:
• Check-in your luggage at UK airport (1 bag per person)
• Luggage will arrive in resort at the railway station (collected by hotel, rep or guests – resort dependent)
• If your flight arrives after midday pack an overnight bag as your luggage may not arrive until the next day
• On the return journey you may only be able to send luggage as far as airport (GVA or ZRH with BA, Helvetic or KLM flights). Collect luggage at airport & check it in as normal, or with other airlines luggage will be sent to UK airport from Swiss resort
