    Hi,
    I understand you can purchase Swiss Card at Geneva airport? Whereabouts exactly? Tourist office? Rail ticket office? Can I purchase my Swiss Card and rail tickets in one transaction?
    And, given that you can purchase the card at the airport, is there any benefit to purchasing it online (and so incurring a £15 delivery fee to the UK)?
    Thanks

    Hello ible1! You can indeed purchase your Swiss Card at the railway station of Geneva airport. Just get to one of the ticket counters at the railway station and they’ll be able to help you out. You can buy your Swiss Card and other rail tickets at the same time.

    An advantage of purchasing your Swiss Card online is that you can start using it rightaway and that you don’t have to spend time to get to the ticket office after your arrival. Moreover, if you order your Swiss Card through this page (click on the UK link under the header ‘Order your Swiss Card here’), you’ll find that shipping to the UK is for free. The only difference is a booking fee of GBP 3.50.
