Hi, I am confused and needed some help.I am thinking of half fare card but am not sure if it is the best option. Here is our itinerary:
Eurostar London to Paris
Paris to wengen by train ( TGV)
Wengen -3 full days. Will go to schilthorn, Jungfrau ( ( weather permitting),trummelbach, take trains,
funiculars.
Take train from wengen to Lucern ( 2 nights)
Train to Zurich Airport before 10:20 am flight.
Thanks so much for any advice and help.

Buy your Eurostar tickets ASAP (up to 120 days allowed) at www.eurostar.com to get the best fare (as low as $58).
Buy your Paris-Basel TGV tickets ASAP (up to three months allowed) at www.tgv-europe.com to get the best fare (as low as 20 EUR). To keep the site in English and to avoid being bumped to the Rail Europe site which doesn't offer discount fares, choose Great Britain as your country of residence and pick up your tickets at any SNCF station in France.
The Half-Fare Card looks like a good choice. You'll need to research point-to-point fares on the Swiss Rail site and do the math to determine if the Swiss Card is as good--or better.
