Thanks for the information 🙂
Is it still cheaper to get the half price pass? Thanks

You’re welcome Alexis!
I’m not sure if I understand your question. I can’t see how this promotion would cause a different pass to be a better choice. It is a way to save some money though.

Hi Arno,
Does this promotion apply to Swiss Rail Pass too?
Thank you,

Hi Chee
It does as long as you also order a point to point ticket.

Hi Maizan,
Are you talking about buying a pass for that week? Normally, you would need to book at least one month in advance to get the 10 euro discount. To be sure I would click the link for the tickets and check to see the price as we are just within one month of your last travel date.

Hi,
We will be at Switzerland from April 6-17. Zurich International Airport is our entry point and last stop. I would like to buy the Swiss Travel Pass Flex but I don’t see the option for it. Please advice.
Thank you

Hi luthienbabe,
You should be able to find the Swiss Travel Pass Flex under Swiss Travel Pass here – select the option for 15 days within one month rather than continuous (assuming that’s the number of days you want). For some reason they don’t specify it as the Swiss Travel Pass Flex.

Hi everyone,
we will be a family of four, two adults, a 16 year old and a 15 year old. We will be in Switzerland for 10 days from 2nd July and are opting for the swiss travel pass so we can use all transport system without having to buy tickets all the time. I am a little bit confused about this promotion. I have asked this question on fb and they said there are no promotions on the swiss travel pass and suggested i ask over here. Does this discount apply for the Swiss travel pass or is there a second swiss pass? I have chosen the swiss travel pass for 8 consecutive days and inserted the promotional code and the discount was allowed but i did not book any point to point trip! Here is the link of the result http://www.raileurope-world.com/index.php?page=sales&re_domain=c art&re_oper=overview.
Thanks in advance

Hi Pensieri, welcome to MySwissAlps!
I just tried the promo code “EUROPE1737” while adding Swiss Travel Passes to the shopping cart on http://www.raileurope-world.com/pass/swiss-travel-pass-82. Indeed it works and it displayed a €30 discount. Good find!
It should not work like that though. As described in my first post and also under “see conditions” on http://www.raileurope-world.com/deals-and-promotions/EuropeWinte rDeals, a point to point ticket should be included in the order. However, if they actually grant the discount even without such a ticket, I see no reason why not to proceed and buy the passes.
I don’t know what happens if you actually proceed to payment as I did not try that. Should you find it is not possible anyway you can just add one very cheap ticket, e.g. Basel to “Basel Bad Bf” (only € 4.80).

Great Arno, thanks really much. One last question since I will be purchasing 2 adult and 1 youth x 8 consecutive day tickets, is it possible to purchase them one by one since if I make one purchase including all tickets, it only allows us €30 discount?

You’re welcome! That should be possible if the minimum order amount is reached for each order. But I haven’t done it myself, and it’s not our website, so you’d best just try that approach.

Thanks once again Arno, very much appreciated.

Hi Pensieri,
Regarding your Facebook message: “By any chance, i read that we have to present an id card with the travel passes, does it have to be the original one or a photocopy is enough?“
Officially the original passport is required. I don’t know what happens if you can only present a copy. In most cases they are only interested in the passes, but occasionally the passport will be checked too.

Hi Arno,
Thank you for sharing this information. I noticed when purchasing swiss travel pass, the start date is mandatory, is it possible to change the start date after I purchased the pass? I have plans to travel in September but I can’t fix the date yet. Thanks !

Jingyi

Hi yjingyi and welcome to MySwissAlps!
Yes, the start date is mandatory and cannot be changed once purchased. You could cancel the pass but that would incur a penalty of 15% I believe.
I wouldn’t buy the pass until you are 100% sure on your dates. There is no rush to get the pass – they can’t run out of passes to sell. Just ensure you buy the pass with enough time to have it mailed to you or emailed and printed at home before you travel.
Regards,
Lucas

Thanks Lucas for clarifying. Looks like I’m going to miss the discount 🙁
