Your luggage can be transported directly from your UK airport to your resort by booking Swiss Fly Rail luggage vouchers for a supplement of £16 each way.

A full itinerary will be sent with your tickets and a Thomson rep will be on-hand in the resorts of Interlaken & Zermatt (not Davos or on train journeys). It is necessary to change trains on some of the rail transfers between resorts.
