Difference between point to point ticket and day saver pass

[Cristina1]

Hello, Can you please tell me what's the difference between point to point ticket and day saver pass? It seems like there is no difference as they are both valid for the chosen date but I'm not 100% sure. Thanks

Checking on what is the best ticket options to buy for my coming dec trip in Switzerland .

I am looking at the ticket from Zurich  Flughafen to Zermatt ,

Saver Day Pass (cheapest) - But I am not sure how long it takes to clear customs and get the luggage

Point-to-point Ticket followed by

Day Pass

(All with HFT)

Cons on Saver Day Pass from what I have read is that you need to take that particular train that you have selected and you can't change and if you missed the booked connection or wish to travel at another time, you can do it with some terms and conditions.

Can I know what is the difference between Point to point and Day Pass?

Thanks!

This answer is according to nekopoi, May Be, there are alternative answer of this question.

Hello @jannysmith 

There is a difference between the Saver Day Pass and a Supersaver ticket. 

With the Saver Day Pass you can choose what time you take the train. It is valid on the travelling day until 5am the next morning.

The Supersaver ticket is only valid on the train selected during the purchase process. We do not recommend do purchase this type of ticket when you travel by plain before taking the train, because it is difficult to estimate whether you will land on time and quickly receive your luggage. 

I wish you an awesome time in Switzerland.

Kind regards, RahelW

Hello @Cristina1 

A point to point ticket is valid on any train on a predefined date from 00:00 until 05:00 AM the next day for a single journey (1 ride) from A to B, e.g. Zürich - Geneva. With it you can take multiple stops along the journey, e.g. in Bern, but you aren't allowed to back-track or to ride the journey multiple times.

Does your point-to-point ticket indicate zone numbers (e.g. 110, 121), this means it is a point-to-point ticket of the local fare network (e.g. ZVV). It allows you unlimited travel within the indicated zones for as long as the ticket is timely valid (see validity start/end date/time).

The Saver Day Pass allows unlimited travel on any train on a predefined day from 00:00 until the next day at 05:00 AM. You can find more information on the advantages of the Saver Day Pass here:
