Hi,
For my family's dec trip from Milan to Lucerne with a swiss half fare card, please help to confirm if my cost research below is correct and that option 2 is the cheapest !
1) Buy Milan to Lucerne SBB train tickets when I am in Milan train station (SBB: chf 23 for Milan to Arth-Goldau and chf 6 for Arth-Goldau swiss half fare rate)
2) Book advance Trenitalia ticket for Milan to Arth-Goldau from home (Trenitalia : Euro 14.20 for GA switzerland 2 since I have swiss half fare card) and
Arrive in Arth-Goldau and buy Arth-Goldau to Lucerne SBB ticket (SBB : chf 6.10 for swiss half fare rate)
3) Book advance Trenitalia ticket for Milan to Chiasso from home (Trenitalia : Euro 9 for super economy rate) and
Arrive in Chiasso and buy Chiasso to Lucerne SBB ticket (SBB: chf 30.50 for swiss half fare rate)
I do understand that options 2 & 3 will have a later arrival time to Lucerne as both requires longer waiting time for next train at the transit station.
Thank you so much in advance !!!
