[EPFL-Student-Guide] Tickets and Currency

This post is part of a series of posts I did as part of student guide for new students. All the related posts to this guide can be found by tracking the label student-guide or click here

TICKETS- and Currency: Qatar and Emirates airlines run flights to Zurich daily i guess. They also have to and fro tickets with one year validity for return journey. I recommend you to buy that kind of ticket as it is cheap compared to one way tick. I got a Qatar airways tick for 36k INR and Emirates one for 29k to and fro from Hyd. I brought 50K INR worth of USD (getting Euros may be more preferred) party in cash and remaining in traveler cheques. Take a xerox of the cheques and not down the numbers elsewhere too. If you lost them, it is easy to get new ones issued. Take multiple copies of your passport and ticket and other important info and put them at various places of luggage. If you lost them, you will be in a hell! You clearly write down your from and To addresses and contact numbers on ALL the baggages. Some times, they misplace them and it may be easy to track if u do so.
