    Hi Jakay

    You can look up travel from the airport to Lucerne on the following timetable tool: http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable

    The train station is located at Zurich airport and is called Zurich airport or Zurich Flughafen in German: http://www.myswissalps.com/ai rports/zurich.

    You will find times and connections to Lucerne. You do not need a reservation, you can buy a ticket before you jump on the train or online in advance: http://www.myswissalps.com/tr aintickets/switzerland.

    However, if you are doing a lot more travel within Switzerland, it would be worth considering a rail pass for your stay: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw issrailpasses

    Have a great time in Switzerland!
