Retrieval with offitial carrier RHB, MGB and Postauto. We will publish a promotional code for the return journey via Telegram on each flying day.
Important for Swiss pilots with half fare card:
We are aware that tickets are difficult to buy, and even more difficult if you have a Half-Fare Card. However, we urge you to indicate the Half-Fare Card. Anything else would be throwing money away, so we would invoice the amounts after the Swiss Open.
