Save On Switzerland: Discounts On Swiss Travel Passes And Luggage Services

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., June 24, 2016 /CNW/ -- Rail Europe, the largest distributor of European rail products worldwide, invites travellers to explore Switzerland's charming cities, stunning high-altitude adventures, and beautiful blue lakes by rail this summer at a discount. In partnership with Switzerland Tourism and Swiss Travel System, Rail Europe offers travellers the chance to save $60 when they book a 1^st Class Swiss Travel Pass and Express Luggage in the same booking using coupon code SWISSLUGGAGE60, between now and August 30, 2016*.

With Express Luggage, travellers can sit back, relax and savour Switzerland's breath-taking views right from their train window, without having to worry about schlepping suitcases, bags, skis, snowboards, sleds, and strollers with them. The convenient Express Luggage service delivers travellers' luggage from a number of train stations in Switzerland directly to their rail station destination. Express Luggage delivery is provided between more than 30 select train stations throughout Switzerland, including Adelboden, Bern, Engelberg, Gstaad, Lausanne, Montreux, St. Moritz, Zermatt, and Zurich.

The Swiss Travel Pass offers extensive travel and sightseeing options for travellers to create memorable adventures. Travellers with the pass will receive:

• Extensive travel on the Swiss Travel System including rail, lake steamers, and postal buses
• Access to Switzerland's scenic trains, including the Bernina Express, Glacier Express, GoldenPass Line and Wilhelm Tell Express
• Free travel on public transportation in 75 towns and cities
• Free access to over 490 Swiss museums
• Up to 50% discount on mountain railways and cable cars

Families can enjoy even more savings, as children under the age of 16 travel free with a parent or legal guardian. When traveling with children 6 to 15 years of age, simply request a free Swiss Family Card when booking your Swiss Travel Pass. Children under 6 do not require a rail pass or family card.

Although not included in this current promotion, for passengers flying into Switzerland from other countries, Rail Europe also provides Express Flight Luggage. With Express Flight Luggage service, travellers' luggage is delivered via Zurich or Geneva airport directly to their final destination train station in Switzerland, or to a Swiss address, from any airport in the world, irrespective of the airline company with which they fly. Travellers can save time waiting at the airport to pick up checked bags, and simply get on their way to their ultimate destination.***
