Zürich Flughafen is the airport station; Zürich HB is the main city hub. Look up the full journey to your accommodation, including the last tram or bus stop.
Use SBB for the rail connection and ZVV for local zones. Confirm whether your ticket covers the onward ride, since mobile data cannot issue or validate a ticket.
Save before you goYour booking, the correct platform and stop, and your host's address. Stations and tunnels can interrupt reception.
Genève-Aéroport and Genève-Cornavin are two different stations. Check your platform and onward city stop in the live timetable.
Ask eligible accommodation about the Geneva Transport Card before you arrive. It covers the Unireso zone 10 network, not a trip into France. Check both the transport ticket and your data plan's country list for a border crossing.
Save before you goYour transport card, hotel address and onward booking. Don't assume a free airport-arrival ticket; check the airport's current guidance.
Check Interlaken Ost versus West. Trains toward Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen leave from Ost. Read the destination on your train and the exact boarding point on your booking.
Use the Jungfrau operator's current site for mountain tickets, pass coverage, reservations and operating conditions. A rail pass does not automatically include every mountain journey.
Save before you goYour tickets, walking map and a descent alternative. Signal and weather shift in the mountains, so keep your return plan offline.
Zermatt is car-free for ordinary visitor traffic. Park in Täsch and arrange your onward transfer. Treat parking, shuttle and mountain-lift costs as separate items.
Use mobile data to coordinate with your accommodation and check lift operations. Going to Cervinia via the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing means entering Italy, so confirm the international ticket, the weather and Italian data coverage.
Save before you goYour parking location, transfer details, tickets and return route. Don't rely on continuous reception at altitude.
