[2025 Kloten Airport] Travel Guide for Zurich Airport (Updated Jun)

#summervacay This summer, I took a beautiful and relaxing journey across Switzerland — from Zurich to Geneva by train — and it was the perfect way to explore the country at a gentle pace. The SBB InterCity train ride itself was smooth, scenic, and super comfortable. As we left Zurich, the landscape quickly shifted from city buzz to peaceful countryside — rolling green hills, pristine lakes, and postcard villages all along the way. I made stops in Lucerne, Lausanne, and the stunning Lavaux region, where I stayed in Grandvaux for a few days (highly recommended for vineyard views and peaceful walks). The final leg into Geneva offered sweeping views over Lake Geneva, with the Alps rising in the background — an unforgettable arrival. Geneva itself was lively and elegant, with lakeside cafés, cultural spots, and a perfect end to a slow-travel adventure. If you’re visiting Switzerland in summer, skip the car and take the train — it’s efficient, eco-friendly, and lets you really see the country. The Zurich–Geneva route is a perfect way to do it. Highlights: ✅ Easy direct train (2h 40m) ✅ Scenic views all the way ✅ Great stops: Lucerne, Lausanne, Lavaux ✅ Quiet luxury meets natural beauty

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 In Terminal E, further away but impeccable, the lounge was named the "World's Best First Class Lounge" by Skytrax in 2022. The use of light colours and natural materials creates a pleasant and warm atmosphere. The interior is refined, with lots of light wood and leather seating. It has comfortable sofas for reading and relaxing. There is also a hotel-style day room where you can take a nap and then wake up to enjoy the magnificent view of the airport from the terrace. It is an ideal place to relax. Impressive wine selection including local wine from Landolt Weine in Zurich, other local schnapps, local beer, really special. The same goes for food. The menu is excellent, offering options to suit all tastes and preferences, including vegetarian options. We tried several appetizers and entrees and were very pleased with the quality, taste and presentation. What’s even more exaggerated is that even cheese stew can be eaten. The staff provide excellent service and ensure you have everything you need for comfortable seating, lodging and eating.

#100waysoftravel We had a comfortable flight with Emirates from Zurich (ZRH) to Kuala Lumpur (KUL), with a stopover in Dubai (DXB). The segment from Zurich to Dubai took about 6 hours, followed by a 4-hour layover before the next leg. The flight from Dubai to Kuala Lumpur also lasted around 6 hours. From boarding to arrival, the cabin crew was attentive and courteous, ensuring our needs were met. The extensive in-flight entertainment system provided a wide range of movies, TV shows, and music, which made the trip enjoyable. I particularly appreciated the entertainment, as I was able to watch my favorite movies throughout the flight.

Whether you are an aviation enthusiast or not, it is a wonderful experience watching the take-offs and landings of aircrafts up close. There are two observation decks in Zurich Airport. Observation Deck B, located in the public area of Zurich Airport, is open to public at a small entrance fee. Observation Deck E, located on top of Dock E in the passenger zone, is open for passengers with a boarding pass. Public visitors can also take a shuttle bus to observation deck E from deck A. We had a chance to relax in the fresh air on Observation Deck E before boarding our flight in Zurich airport. The deck offers a spectacular view of the airport activities as it is situated at the centre of the three runways. Visitors also have an opportunity to spot A380 up close as the world’s largest aircraft docks very close to the observation deck several times a day. #Switzerland #swiss #zurich #airport #planespotting #airplanes #tripblazers #a380 #observationdeck

The Zurich Airport located in Switzerland, the heart of the Europe, has welcoming environment and offers high quality service. It is definitely one of the busiest airports in Europe, which has flights to almost all over the world through direct and indirect routes. Not the biggest airport but still one of the most convenient and complete in terms of stores, transportation, and quality of service.

Switzerland is a must go destination. My family and I really enjoyed our trip there. The scenery is fascinating during winter. Food is equally nice. The mountain trip is unforgettable breathtaking. It get you to feel closer to nature. People there are so friendly and helpful. After spending two and a half weeks there still feel like not enough. That’s why we are planning to go back there again.

#celebratewithtrip During my departure from the Zurich International Airport I have the chance to access the Swiss Air Lounge. The lounge itself was well maintained with nice decor , lot of natural light and a solid food and drink selection . During my visit it was breakfast time and they have fresh omelette station .

Most importantly the lounge is large and not very crowded and also shower room are available for those who need to refresh before a long flight . #tripblazers #fallingforfall

#June Travel Support Fund The scenery that unfolded outside the airplane window just before arriving in Switzerland was truly amazing. The winding roads, forests, and quiet villages continued, and it felt like a scene from a fairy tale. 🌿 The feeling of nature and people living in harmony was so strong that I couldn't take my eyes off the window for a long time. Thanks to this view through the window, my anticipation for my trip to Switzerland doubled, and it really was a beautiful country. I highly recommend this trip to those who love nature~~

💭When we decided to book AirFrance Airlines, we checked the train tickets but the prices were about the same, so we decided to choose the plane. For us, we thought the ticket price was quite high, but it might be because we went during a long holiday. 💰Price: The round trip Zurich-Paris was around 12,xxx, including 1 checked bag, no more than 23 kg, and carry-on no more than 10 kg. ⭐️Satisfaction: The staff were lovely and smiling. The plane was comfortable, but maybe because the flight was short, the food was bread and 1 small bottle of water. 👉🏻 Do you think it was worth it? Please comment and tell us. #AirlineReview #airfrance #Airfranceairline #AirplaneReview

Compared with Hong Kong, Zurich Airport is relatively small, but the customs clearance is fast, and the customs is very concerned about your journey. The whole process is very smooth and fast.

The very user-friendly platform and transfer information made it easy for me to transfer from Thailand to Switzerland!

Our trip to Switzerland was nothing short of magical! We landed at Zurich Airport and picked up a rental car, which gave us the freedom to explore at our own pace. The drive itself was an experience—every turn revealed stunning landscapes, snow-capped peaks, and charming Swiss villages. Our first stop was Interlaken, where we spent the night surrounded by the beauty of lakes and mountains. The town’s peaceful atmosphere and picturesque scenery made it the perfect place to unwind. The next day, we headed to Grindelwald, and it was like stepping into a fairytale! The breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps, the fresh mountain air, and the serene surroundings made it an unforgettable experience. Whether it was admiring the iconic Eiger or simply enjoying the peace and quiet, every moment felt surreal. Switzerland truly exceeded our expectations—immaculate roads, friendly locals, and scenery that looks straight out of a postcard. If you're looking for a trip filled with natural beauty and tranquility, this is the place to be! Can’t wait to return! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #switzerland #travel #travelwithfriends

#JapanAirlineEvent An international airport in Zurich, Switzerland. It is a place with direct flights from Korea. There are many duty-free shops, so it was good for shopping. The airport is large, has various facilities, and is convenient. Since it is an airport where Korean Air flies, you can see a lot of Koreans.

[Awesome] Shanghai Pudong - Zurich, it’s been a long time since I had a 13-hour nonstop flight to Europe. Of course, it’s more fun to fly lying down! This time I took the 🇨🇭 Swiss International Airlines business class, and it was my first time to experience the luxurious and safe feeling brought by the A340's four engines! [StarEyes] 💺 The interior decoration is very appealing to my taste. It is not too luxurious and complicated. The dark background + wood grain inlays give it a low-key and restrained temperament. The seats in the cabin are arranged in a staggered 2-2-1 and 1-2-1 arrangement. If you are traveling alone and want to enjoy a private space, the single "throne" that combines the scenery and spacious space is the best choice; if you are a family or a couple, you can choose a double seat and enjoy the fun of sharing food and chatting together. 🖤The toiletries bag is a travel set customized by Victorix for Swissair. The small black hard case is full of high-end travel texture. It can hold earplugs, eye masks, socks, toothbrushes, lipsticks and lotions just like a small suitcase. [Shhh] Storage lovers will take it home and recycle it~ 🍽️ Speaking of in-flight meals, I didn’t have high expectations before departure, but I was surprised when it was served! [Clap] Swiss International Air Lines, which adheres to the "do not disturb" service, provides two meals during the 13-hour flight, with unlimited ice cream, nuts, snacks, alcohol and soft drinks. Just ask the flight attendant for food whenever you want. 🧑‍🍳The first meal was a three-course lunch. The appetizer was smoked salmon with tomato tart and salad. The acidity was refreshing and very appetizing. The main course made my eyes widen the moment I took a bite. It was roasted tender beef tenderloin in red wine sauce🥩, served with soft and glutinous small potatoes and asparagus and courgette. The hot meat was so soft and tender [Love]! This is probably another moment of healing in the business class~🍷The wine list is also very rich, including red and white wine, champagne and rosé. Please be sure to order Rośe from Provence, which goes well with seafood pasta or beef salad. After eating and drinking, you can lie down and have a good sleep while feeling a little drunk~ ❗️It is probably difficult to avoid skiing when you come to Europe in winter, ⛷️Good news for skiers! Tickets for all classes of Swiss International Airlines (yes, you read that right, including economy class!) can check in one piece of snow equipment for free 🎿. You just need to make an appointment in advance on the official website. This is really friendly to skiers!

📍Address: Swiss International Air Lines Business Class Lounge, Schengen Area, Zurich Airport 💰Average Consumption: One Business Class Ticket or Star Alliance Gold Card Almost the best place in the world to take photos of sunsets and planes taking off. ZRH can take photos of a large number of precious aircraft models, such as A343, A346, etc. It is definitely worth staying in the lounge for a few hours before and after sunset (and the food is also good)

I want to express my heartfelt thanks for making my dream trip to Switzerland a reality with your affordable ticket options. Not only did your platform make it easy to plan my travels, but it also enabled me to explore neighboring countries like Budapest and Salzburg, creating unforgettable memories. Your excellent services, seamless booking experience, and unbeatable prices have made my journey truly special. Thank you for helping travelers like me discover the world! Looking forward to planning more adventures with Trip.com! #travel #honeymoon 📍Address:Switzerland , Budapest , Salzburg

It's in front of Zurich Station and the airport. Zurich Airport is less than 20 minutes from Zurich Station. Just one or two stops apart?? When you arrive at the airport, check-in numbers 1, 2, and 3 are written. Check your check-in number carefully and then board your flight back home. There were surprisingly many signs at Zurich Station that could be misleading. #New YorkFlightEvent

Primeclass lounge: the food is limited but still good. Nice and big space. If you are in terminal E, it can be a good option.

#July Travel Support Event Duty Free Zone at Zurich Airport Arrival Hall. It is quite large. There are many stores selling souvenirs such as chocolates, and luxury brands such as Gucci are also available. Since Swiss wine is not exported, it is okay to buy wine at the airport. The souvenir MacGyver is the same price as the market price.

#July Travel Support Event You can get a tax refund for items you bought in Switzerland at the airport. It is available in the duty-free zone after immigration, and it was quite difficult to find the place. The signs are well-made, but the currency exchange office handles the tax refund business, so it was confusing and difficult.

#July Travel Support Event The Swiss Zurich Airport is made up of several terminals, all connected by a walkable path. There is a Starbucks on the first floor of the airport, making it a good place to pass the time before checking in. If you move to the terminal through the connecting passage next to Starbucks, there is also an Edelweiss cafe.

#July Travel Support Event Korean Air KE918 Economy Class. Flight time is 11 hours and 30 minutes. Two in-flight meals are provided. The seats were assigned as bulk seats, so it was very convenient to be able to stretch out your legs. However, the bulk seat monitor kept going up and down, which was inconvenient.

We flew from Zurich (ZRH) to Lisbon (LIS) with SWISS Air in Business Class. It was a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience. After chilling for some time at the SWISS Business Lounge at Zurich Airport which offered food and beverages, workspaces, relaxation areas and showers, we headed to the boarding gate. Business Class passengers are given priority boarding and are among the first to disembark. Business Class seats on SWISS short-haul flights are configured in a 2-2 arrangement. The middle seat in each row of three is left empty for added comfort and space. We were served chocolate, wine and a full meal during the flight. #travelanywhere #switzerland #portugal #lisbon #swiss #Zurich #airport #swissair #lounge #business #airline #tripblazers

After buying flights on trip.com, I found out that I can buy an airport lounge for $0! Today I chose the prime class lounge in Zurich. I recommend you to come here to rest if the transfer time is more than 2 hours! There are about 10 kinds of food available here, I prefer cheese😄 In addition, the environment is open, good to sit ~ And each position has a plug for charging 😄 #Register for May Hotel Sleep Tester
