Rail HalfFareCard and Reservations

Can I buy SwissHalfFareCard at Zurich Airport station when I land? Do I need to make reservations for Golden Pass Panoramic or Classic Montreux/Zweisimmen/Interlaken/Lucerne/Zurich for March 15? If so can I do that at Zurich Airport Station when buying Pass or do I do it before traveling on March 6? Thank you kindly!

  • "Can I buy SwissHalfFareCard at Zurich Airport station when I land?" - yes, or you can buy it in advance from the Swiss Railways site ( www.sbb.ch ) and print it out in advance at home. Details are here: http://www.sbb.ch/en/leisure-holidays/holidays--short-breaks-in-switzerland/swisstravelsystem/swiss-halffare-card.html
  • "Do I need to make reservations for Golden Pass Panoramic or Classic Montreux/Zweisimmen/Interlaken/Lucerne/Zurich for March 15?" - you can make reservations, or you can travel on one of the other trains on the route without a reservation. Again see www.sbb.ch for details.

  • "Thank you kindly!" - You're welcome

I looked at the swisshalffarecard online and was not offered the option of "print at home". Maybe because I am in the US? Any further tips? Otherwise I will buy at the Zurich Airport station. Thanks!
