    DO I need to make reservations in advance for the train between Lucerne and the Zurich airport? We will be flying into Zurich and taking the train to Lucerne and then going back to the Zurich airport after our visit. Do I need to make reservations? And how easy is it to get to the train station from the airport and from Lucerne? Is this train one that we have to have seat assignments and if so, how do we make sure our seats are together?

    Thanks

    linda

    Hi Linda,

    It’s very easy: at the airport, you just need to follow the signs to the trains, and find a seat. Reservations are not necessary. More information is available here:
