Worth knowing before you pay
- Long-haul Premium is quoted as "from" — CHF 25/35 are floors, not fixed prices.
- Continental and intercontinental vouchers are not interchangeable, and you cannot combine a short-haul and long-haul package in one purchase.
- Vouchers are single use, valid for the year of purchase plus three following years.
- The published package description lists audio streaming — not video streaming.
