    Hi Harrysimi,

    If you order through http://www.raileurope.co.in/p ass/swiss-travel-pass-82 you will receive the pass within 3 working days (usually just 1 business day) through e-mail. You can print it yourself and use it immediately after landing in Switzerland. No need to queue for the ticket office. So this would work for you.

    Likewise you can order through the tourist webshop of the Swiss Railways: http://www.swissrailways.com/ en. After filling out your address, they will show the delivery options. Pick “Online Ticket” from the bottom of the list. Delivery through e-mail is often within hours, but again 3 business days at the most.

    You’ll find all options here: myswissalps.com/swisst ravelpass/price.

    Hi Rajikadinesh,

    Was this through http://www.raileurope.co.in/p ass/swiss-travel-pass-82? Physical shipments indeed take longer and I’d recommend to always take the print at home option.

    I’m glad you still got it in time!
