Our ticketing experience with Headout ended up being extrememly easy to use and very helpful for all the places we wanted to go. We were able to take the train from Zurich to Laussane, take the local transportation (bus/train/boat) all with one pass. It was pricier than we were hoping to spend but made up for it in convenience.

This pass was such a great investment! I would recommend it to anyone who likes to make spontaneous plans. It is a little pricier than the continuous pass, but it is worth the money. The only thing you should remember is that seat reservations for panoramic trains cost extra.

Like the name says, this pass really was super flexible and fit my loose itinerary perfectly! I could pick my travel days as and when I was up to travel and I never felt the pressure to travel fast. It was awesome to have unlimited access to trains and buses on the days I needed too.
