I am getting a flight from London...which I can take to any of the airports in Switzerland. I was wondering if one of the train trips from these 3 is prettier than another. From Basel and Zurich takes about an hour less than from Geneva, and I will be going to Geneva later (so will see the north part of Lake G separately.
Thanks so much
Zurich to Interlaken via Luzern is the way to go.

Laura, Use Basel or Zürich, whichever gives you better times and /or prices. As you say, the time from either of them to Interlaken is similar and less than from Geneva. Basel airport has a shuttle bus to Basel station, takes ~15 minutes, not a problem, you can buy tickets from Basel airport to Interlaken (or any other Swiss station) which include bus + train. SBB ticket machine at the bus stop.
If you have time, take the route via Luzern and the Brünig pass line instead of via Bern. You can do this from Basel or Zürich. The fastest route is via Bern, and that is what you get by default. The Luzern+Brünig route is scenic, three lakes and a pass. This route is not possible from Geneva.
Thanks so much!
