Are Swiss rail tickets cheaper if bought in advance; how do they work?
-
I travel to Switzerland with my friend at 20.5.24 for 10 days. We travel by train some long journeys. I should like to have answers to some my questions:
– Is it useful to buy the traintickets forward from SBB-CFF-FFS ( swiss state railway firm) where the prices were much cheaper than by Omio, where I first looked trains and tickets. Why it was so? Same trains however.
– Are the prices perhaps much more expensive also on same day, if we buy them at switzerland railway stations, when we go there.
– If we buy the tickets forward for one train and we fear, that if we don’t manage in the train changes, because there is so little time and long way to change. Must we change our tickets at the ticketoffice, or can we go straight to next later train with that former ticket.
– If we have buyed tickets forward to some train, and then we want to go with an earlier train. Is it possible? Must we then also change our tickets at the ticketoffice?
– Have they placetickets also at usual trains? I have not found. Is it good idea to buy them also forward or is it unnecessary to buy placetickets. Is there room however? Perhaps they don’t use them normally or is it so?
Is it possible to get answers to these questions from someone.
Thank you very much.
Greetings Hannelore
