We are planning to visit Switzerland with our son & daughter and their families. Can we buy Half Fare Cards for all of them, or will they have to purchase their own? If we can do this, could they later use the Fly+Luggage Service?

Hi mustard,

Welcome to MySwissAlps. Each traveller will need to have their own Swiss Half Fare Cards. If the children are aged between 6 and 15, you can request for a complimentary Swiss Family Card, which allows children to travel along for free. Children under 6 years always travel free on Swiss public transport. You can find further information in the following links:

Swiss Half Fare Card: https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/swiss-half-fare-card/
Swiss Family Card (discounts for children): https://www.myswissalps.com/travel/tickets/discount/

To use the SBB Flight Luggage service, you generally need to have valid rail ticket or a rail pass. You can find further details below:

Hi Mustard,

Yes, you can buy Swiss Half Fare Cards for everyone. Just go to the official shop: https://www.myswissalps.com/link/stc-swiss-half-fare-card/

Fill out everyone’s names (as on their passports), country of residence, and birthdates, and that’s all you need.
