Price of train tickets in Geneva

Is there a price difference when buying a train ticket in Geneva Airport automatic machine or pre ordering online?

Best Answer

Normal tickets are the same price, regardless of where or when they are bought. So it does not matter if you do this on line, at a manned ticket counter, or from a ticket vending machine. Such tickets are flexible, valid on any train on the route you purchased. Be aware that you cannot buy tickets on the train however.

Supersaver tickets are cheaper, but can only be bought on line or using the phone app. They are also not flexible.

When arriving by plane and continuing to a destination in Switzerland that is a non trivial distance away from Geneva getting a Saver Day Pass may be a good option. This is a fairly new product that when booked in advance can be cheaper than just buying a normal ticket on arrival.
