Zurich Airport

ZRH is a practical airport but not as good as SIN HKG or KUL. It is easy to navigate transportation to and from the airport is good and shopping choices are not bad either. Once airside there are some nice choices but beware that Zurich is an expensive airport. The SWISS lounges are ok but nothing to write home about. Staff is ok but usually not overly friendly. Security is a hit and miss as sometimes the queues are horrendous and at other times the queues are non-existent. Staff is usually not too friendly but that's rather common throughout the world. To sum it up - efficient quick and functional.

ZRH is an excellent airport with clear signage and a good selection of shops and restaurants although the latter can be quite expensive. The gate areas are clearly marked and provide sufficient seating opportunities. Staff are quite friendly.

Good airport clean good facilities friendly staff. Travelled from Helsinki to Zurich. Helsinki a nightmare they should learn from Zurich.

ZRH is quite good when leaving from Terminal A but the pits when leaving from Terminal B. I recently flew to Manchester and left from and returned to Terminal B. If my memory serves me correctly the chaotic boarding of the bus at the gate took about an hour. We had yet another treat in store for the return as the remote stand was only just in ZRH! Moreover the bus was late and again chaos at the terminal as connecting pax had to clear customs before sprinting to Terminal A only to be met with more security queues. Outbound flight was about 30 minutes late inbound was even more. Both delays were due directly to the outdated badly-organised cramped and obsolete Terminal B. As if to add insult to injury the SWISS Business Lounge in Terminal B is quite frankly a joke.

ZRH is ok if you fly with Star Alliance carrier and use gate A or E. Last time I was flying with MALEV from gate B and hope never to do it again. After 45 minutes of standing in the queue to an exceptionally understaffed security check I forgot all the positive feelings about this clean and easily accessible airport I almost missed my flight. Some passengers didn't have enough luck. Nobody seems to care about it.

I decided to transfer here instead of at Heathrow on my way to the US and it turned out to be an excellent choice. Having travelled to and from Zurich many times this was the first time I transfered to an intercontinental flight. It was a real pleasure and I recommend Zurich whole-heartedly!

ZRH has a good foot traffic flow inside the airport. The train and taxis to ZRH are swift and safe. Bathrooms are clean and of sufficient quantity. The customs are efficient and honest.

Very good airport. The cows mooing on the train can be annoying at 0600. No negative points.

Zurich is a bright and very clean airport. Connections by train to/from all Swiss cities are practical and frequent. Self-service check-in machines are easy to use and offer no less than 15 languages! Flying on a Saturday evening the airport was rather empty so that security check was fast. Toilets are spotless. On the downside the B boarding area is a bit far away and has a low-cost look compared to the rest of the airport.

Efficiency cleanliness luxury. It is not a huge airport but not that small - but you do not have to walk for ages to get to the different places inside. Queues are absent (at check-in and security check) : it is not necessary to be there a long time before the flight to make sure to take it. But even if you arrive too early there is a big amount of shops and restaurants.
