But once the ticket is created, you can't add the Flugzug to the booking. It's not like the German Rail&Fly system, where you simply get a voucher for a "free trainride to/from the airport", but rather it's "like a flight", so if you've not booked it at the time of ticketing, you're out of luck.

It's a great way to create free miles, save on SBB tickets (even if you just travel from the Aargau or Zurich HB to the Airport ), and sometimes even get cheaper fares than "flying" directly from ZRH. Only disadvantage, you can only collect miles on M&M for the Flugzug, no other *A partners.

Thx for clarification, YuropFlyer !

In my case, just wanted to include my train ride home but I guess SBB will get my extra money...

btw. Happened to me too, since my company recently switched from a Swiss business travel agency to a German one, the new agency even issued "Deutsche Bahn" train ticket for ZRH-ZDH, of course charging extra for this ticket, until I complained and explained them the "SWISS way"... and now it seems to work...
