Departing from Zurich Airport

1. Check-in online


- Whether you are travelling with cabin bag only or hold luggage, please check in online.
- You can check in online and print your boarding pass from 30 days and up to 2 hours before the scheduled departure of your flight.

2. Bag Drop

- Once at the airport look for the 'Bag Drop' signs if you have bags to be placed in the hold.

3. Departures

- Keep a close eye on the departure information screens to check which gate your flight is departing from.
- Distance to gates vary from airport to airport and may require a several minute walk. It is best to find out as soon as possible which gate your flight is departing from to then see how long it will take to get there.
- Boarding methods also vary depending on where you are travelling from. Some require a short bus transfer from the terminal to aircraft whilst others use an "air-jetty" or require a short walk from the gate to aircraft.

- If you’re travelling with an infant or young child and you want to bring a buggy or pushchair onboard, you will need to go to bag drop when you arrive at the airport where you will be advised if you can take it to the gate or if it will need to be checked in at bag drop, free of charge.
