Full price is about €80. You'll want to get an advance ticket. Anyone flying to Milan should be able to get an advance ticket from there for about €40.

As in book as soon as they go on sale?   I've done a mock booking for a Zurich - Geneva return for the middle of April with the half-fare discount turned off (to gauge an idea of costs) and it is quoting a price of €160

If you want to do return it as coming up at about €160

If there is no "Supersaver" option (like Dave had above) on the particular train you want (there wasn't on the imaginary train I would be getting back to Zurich on) I think the next best option is to select the  "Saver Day Pass" option.

Booked 7am Swiss Air flight to Dublin morning after game for £76, happy with that. Can't imagine having a hangover considering the price of drink in Geneva so should make it alright

Tuesday night, expensive city. Can't see huge numbers going to this. Never been to Switzerland myself so looking forward to it

A beautiful country. Anyone traveling from Zurich I would recommend ye take the train via Lucerne and Interlaken. Simply breathtaking scenery.

Less than €100 and about six or seven hours centre to centre, with a couple of hours in Paris. Probably still quicker and cheaper to fly but that doesn't make it better for the environment (especially when French trains are powered by nuclear generated electricity). That sounds great actually.  If you're doing that, book the eurostar as soon as it goes on sale, in a couple of months. If you book the last one of the day, it gives you the most flexibility in terms of the train you get to Paris. The eurostar goes on sale six months out (eurostar.com) and the TGV goes on sale four months out (oui.sncf - just don't click the UK flag, click Europe (other countries)). Eurostar starts at £49 (€56 on the euro website) and TGV-Lyria starts at €29, so the full journey starts at €85. Geneva 14:41 - 17:49 Paris Paris 21:13 - 22:39 London And time for dinner in Paris - you don't need to be at Gare du Nord til 20:30.
