Flights to Zurich
ZRH · Zurich Airport
Zurich Airport sits 10km north of Switzerland's financial capital with a direct 10-minute S-Bahn train into the city centre. There is no direct flight from South Africa since SWISS discontinued the Johannesburg route, so most travellers connect via Doha on Qatar Airways or via Frankfurt on Lufthansa. It is a popular destination for South African business travel (finance, pharma, commodities), and for leisure visitors heading to the Swiss Alps, with Zurich positioned as the entry point to Luzern, Interlaken and St Moritz.
