Just booked a trip to Switzerland! awesome British Airways sale right now!
well, awesome these days anyway. 
British Airways sale on Euro trips ends on 4/10
we just paid $969 each ( ) to go to Switzerland/Austria for the last 2 weeks in June.
we hadn't seen it for less than $1100 in months, and lately, $1200 after all the taxes and surcharges.
It's still pricey, but it was under my $1000 limit pp, and I am so excited.
check it out and see what deals you can get!
YAY BOY! I am so excited!

Re: Just booked a trip to Switzerland! awesome British Airways sale right now!
that's great. My boss is going business to London and then to Italy. She got a price of $1129 one way for business class.
I think it's a different sale though. It's their summer sale.

Check out Iberia Airlines too. I just helped a co-worker book a June trip, into Amsterdam, out of Geneva for $850. There ARE deals to be had, I swear!

Re: Just booked a trip to Switzerland! awesome British Airways sale right now!
My parents were just telling me about this! Apparently its something like $150 to fly from NY to London, but TONS more to fly from NY to Manchester. They booked a cheap flight for this Sunday anyway...
Exciting for you! I hear great things about the Sound of Music tour. Enjoy!

Switzerland is awesome. I really liked the Interlaken Area. We stayed 4 nights in Wengen and loved it. I wished we would have stayed longer.

I should say its a good time to fly with BA as they are desperately trying to get their reputation back to sterling what with this HUGE screw up with Terminal 5 at Heathrow. Naomi Campbell and all...

Re: Just booked a trip to Switzerland! awesome British Airways sale right now!
Have a great time!! I love that area (Zurich, Switzerland, Munich, Germany, Salzburg, Austria) - probably my favorite in the world.
Check out Lake Konstanz (Bodensee) too!

thanks!
we spent 3 weeks in Germany in 2006 and I loved it. so beautiful. our friend is from Zurich and we'll be staying with him there and then going all over the place.
we MAY even take a side trip to Italy...it's been over a year, tooooooo long for me   but we really want to explore.
2 weeks in Europe is just what the doctor ordered. I am so excited!

Re: Just booked a trip to Switzerland! awesome British Airways sale right now!
So jealous! Have a wonderful time! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Switzerland. We flew into Zurich and drove across the country stopping in the Interlaken area and had so much fun there! We went to Grindenwald and did these mountain toboggan things which were awesome. And then wound up in Zurich. We were supossed to take a boat trip to Evian, France but it was raining.

Bodensee is really nice, I've been there as well. I did the Sound of Music tour with my mom a few years ago and I really enjoyed it and I've never seen the movie. Interlaken and Bern I liked as well. For some reason I noticed a lot of people smoking pot outdoors in Zürich.
Are you going anywhere near Vienna? Good luck with Swiss and Austrian German. I can speak German and I cannot understand it in Switzerland or Austria.

I was in Turin about 8 or 9 years ago (its a big city for il calcio ) but I would LOVE to see it now. I am trying to get dh to run the Turin marathon LOL.
we are more of a Milanese couple...but I am thinking more of a sojourn to Lago di Como
Klingklang...we are going for the Euro so we hope to at least go to Vienna to catch a game (and have a coffee and a strudel )
my friend speaks both swiss german and some high german. I know high german food  this should be FUN!

The Euro should be fun, I was there for it (not the actual games, but in Europe) in 2004 and 2000. So much fun to just be in that environment. Although I was in Italy when France won in 2000, it was still a cool thing to watch the culture.
Good you have someone to speak Swiss German, most people can speak English, but still nice to try at least. I liked Vienna, I can't remember what exactly I did, but I had a good time with lots of beer!
Have fun!
