East Meadow, NY, Sept 27, 2012 – Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS), a contributing sponsor of the October 8-11 Adventure Travel World Summit in Lucerne, Switzerland can make adventure dreams come true all year long with ski equipment, alpine hiking gear, bikes, canoes/kayaks and more in tow.
Fly SWISS from any USA gateway (Boston, Chicago, Miami, New York, Newark, Los Angeles or San Francisco), and take along the gear needed to complete most adventure holidays. For example, if heading to ski or board, know that the first pair of ski/winter sports equipment is always free of charge on SWISS-operated flights.
Another handy information tip is Fly Rail, a service that offers passengers upon check-in the option to check their baggage right through to a participating rail station in Switzerland. *Fees vary according to flyer status. For USA passengers, Fly Rail is available eastbound as westbound flights from Switzerland to the USA are required to follow U.S. mandated government security measures. For more information about this ervice and for a list of participating railway stations, visit the website of SBB.
For other equipment transport needs, visit swiss.com, where the fees for the transport of surfboards to hang gliding equipment and more are listed. If not, and in the USA, call 1-877-359-7947 to speak with an agent to discuss specific needs.
Other tips:
· SWISS advises of careful & appropriate packing.
· SWISS does not accept sports equipment of more than 32 kgs (@70lbs.).
· Transport of bicycles/hunting equipment must be reserved in advance.
· Charges for sports equipment apply for a single route. The charge will be paid twice for a return flight.
· If traveling as a group with excessive amount of sports equipment, best to call SWISS for advice.
Flying SWISS is more than traveling from one destination to the other. At SWISS, it’s about resting up before you take that hike or climb that mountain. Relax on board with a multitude of entertainment options and enjoy award-wining meals.
