Which travel card I should buy for my trip in Zurich?

Haimaudoz56

Hello all,
I am searching the transportation means in Zurich, and it is quite complicated for me.
I need your advice to pick the best travel card (lowest cost)
Below is my plan:
9-mar ( 9.00am) arrive in Zurich HB zone 110
Move to hotel zone 121
Travel to schloss laufen rheinfalls zone 116
Travel to Uetliberge (zone 155 or 150 i forget)
Travel to zurich lake
Back to hotel zone 121

10-mar:
From hotel zone 121 go to zone 110
Going around center
Back to hotel 121, then move to airport

So far, it seems that I should buy the 24h all zone - cost 17.8 chf (with half travel card)

Advice for me?

Day 1:
Assuming you’re arriving at Zürich HB with some international or other long-distance ticket, then your best bet for the rest of that day would be a “9-Uhr Pass”. This is also a ZVV all-zone pass valid on any connection with a scheduled departure time after 9:00am (until 5.00am next day) which costs just 13.50 with a half travel card. If using the SBB Mobile app or the SBB website for buying tickets, this 9′o’clock ticket should automatically be offered as option when selecting e.g. a return trip between
Zürich HB and Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall (with the S12 or IR75/S33, NOT via Schaffhausen which is located outside of the ZVV zones! )

Day 2:
Assuming you’d really never leave the zones 110 and 121, then a 24h Zürich HB - Zürich Flughafen ticket covering those 2 zones for just 7.00 would already fit the bill perfectly.
