When returning from Switzerland, travelers with Fly Rail Baggage coupons can check in their luggage at 126 rail stations throughout Switzerland and even select their seat and receive their boarding passes at 45 of these.
Luggage is claimed upon arrival at the North American destination airport.
Like clockwork, Swiss trains run every hour or half-hour to big cities and quaint towns. Introduced in 2000 and still available in 2001 are Saverpass versions of both the Swiss Pass and Swiss Flexipass, giving a discount for 2 or more people traveling together. Swiss Transfer Ticket, Swiss Card and Swiss Family Card - children go free For those with more limited travel plans to only go to and from one destination other than their entry point, to go skiing or hiking for example, there is the Swiss Transfer Ticket and the Swiss Card. Another bonus for all Swiss Passes, Swiss Transfer Ticket or Swiss Card is a free Swiss Family Card, enabling children under 16 to travel free when accompanied by a parent with any of those Swiss Travel System products. Most cars on these trains have panoramic cars to optimize Alpine viewing.
