SWISS is currently running a 2-day fare sale featuring attractive fares from US gateways to a variety of Swiss destinations including Basel, Zurich, Geneva, and Lugano. The fares cover Spring and Summer travel and are worth considering if you are thinking about a Holiday to Switzerland to help you forget about a fairly brutal winter.
The best fares include Boston and New York where for only $840 you can get to Basel or Zurich. Otherwise most East Coast Gateway fares run in the high $800 to low $900 range. West Coast Gateways (LAX/SFO) fares to Switzerland range from the mid-$1200s to low $1300 range.
The fare sale ends on March 4 and covers travel dates as follows:
Departures need to take place between April 6 and May 15.
Return travel can take place as late as mid-August according to the SWISS booking engine.
These fares are only available for Monday-Thursday travel. Weekend travel dates will incur a small surcharge.
How is that a deal? $850 to Europe is expensive. Particularly on LX. And yes, I am still bitter about the RGN fare handling by them
