    We will be traveling from Basel to Brussels in Oct. Is there a pass that we may be able to use that would help with the cost of a point to point ticket? thank you

    Hi Njk50,

    If you are planning a lot of travelling in Europe, you might want to consider getting an multi-country Eurail Global Pass.

    For point-to-point tickets, sometimes you can find good deals if you book through a reseller such as RailEurope or ACPRail. You can find the links to our partner pages here: http://www.myswissalps.com/aboutus/partners

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Anna

    Hi Njk50,

    I’m afraid you won’t be able to get any discount on your point-to-point ticket from Basel to Brussels as the Swiss Half Fare Card is only valid in Switzerland: https://www.myswissalps.com/swisshalffarecard/validity. Basel is basically at the border.

    Regards,
