Book Your Train Journey from Zurich and Geneva Airports Alongside Your Flight Tickets—More Convenience with SWISS Air
SWISS Airlines has partnered with the Swiss Railway Network (SBB) to offer an excellent transport network, making it easier than ever for tourists to connect with Switzerland’s world-class rail system. This comprehensive service, with guaranteed connections between air and rail, ensures you reach your destination faster and more conveniently.
Guaranteed Connection
If your train or plane is delayed, SWISS will rebook you quickly and easily onto a later connection, ensuring that nothing stands in the way of your trip.
Easier Travel Planning
SWISS Air Rail seamlessly links your rail and air journeys. This means you only need to make one booking for the entire journey—train and plane included—and check in just once.
Convenient Arrivals
With flexible ticket conditions, you can tailor your journey to suit your schedule. Arrive at the airport and check in your bags right away, or opt for a baggage delivery service to make your journey even smoother.
Extensive Timetable
Zurich and Geneva Airports are ideally connected to several daily SWISS Air Rail destinations within Switzerland by train.
How Does This Work?
You can book SWISS Air Rail simply and easily in conjunction with a SWISS flight. Select the railway station of your choice as your departure or arrival point and book your entire journey with SWISS.
You can check in for SWISS Air Rail and your connecting flight 24 hours before departure on swiss.com, or you can be checked in automatically 18 hours before departure (where available). You will then receive your boarding pass for your journey by SWISS Air Rail. Please note that there are no check-in facilities at the railway stations.
Your boarding pass is also your train ticket. It is therefore important that you can show your boarding pass in electronic or printed form on request.
Direct connections from SWISS Air Rail destinations take you conveniently to Zurich or Geneva Airport, depending on your departure station. Please check the route network for your available connections.
The departure time for your train is shown on your boarding pass. Please check the current timetable on sbb.ch or the SBB Mobile app before your departure to account for any possible changes. Your SWISS Air Rail boarding pass is valid on all connections on the relevant route on the day of your flight.
You can check in your bags conveniently at Check-in 3 when you arrive at Zurich Airport, located one floor above the platform. On arrival at Geneva Airport, it is only a short walk to the check-in hall where you can check in your bags. If you wish to travel entirely without baggage, we recommend our baggage transport service within Switzerland. A fee is payable for this service.
Please proceed to the security control at the airport to get to the gate for your SWISS flight and continue your journey to your final destination.
Passengers in SWISS Business and SWISS First also travel first class on the train. Passengers in SWISS Economy and SWISS Premium Economy can book an upgrade to first class directly with SBB for an additional charge.
