Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s primary international gateway and a major European transfer hub, typically serving full-service carriers alongside several seasonal and regional operators. It’s located about 10–13 km north of Zurich city centre, with travel times usually around 10–15 minutes by direct train, 20–30 minutes by tram or bus, and 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; public fares commonly fall in a moderate range for Swiss urban transit. The airport tends to be positioned toward the premium end in terms of services and facilities, offering efficient connections and lounges but with costs that can be higher than budget-focused gateways. Pros: fast rail links and strong international connections; cons: higher on-site prices and potential crowds at peak times.
Dresden Airport (DRS) serves as a compact regional and international gateway rather than a large hub, handling a mix of scheduled European carriers, leisure airlines and occasional seasonal charters. Fares can be modest compared with major German hubs, though prices vary by route and season. The airport lies about 9–11 km north of Dresden’s historic center; typical travel options include the S-Bahn S2 (around 20–25 minutes), regional bus services (25–30 minutes) and taxis or ride-shares (15–25 minutes, higher cost). Pros: short walking distances, simple connections and limited crowds; cons: fewer long-haul or high-frequency choices and less extensive on-site shopping or lounges than larger airports.
