Zurich Airport (ZRH) serves as Switzerland’s primary international gateway and typically functions as a full-service hub for long-haul and European traffic, with Swiss International Air Lines and other major carriers well represented alongside some low-cost operators. Famed for efficient transfers, it sits about 10–13 km north of Zurich’s city centre; the fastest option is the frequent S-Bahn or intercity train taking roughly 10–15 minutes (tickets commonly priced in the range of regional fares), while trams, buses and taxis offer alternatives — taxi rides can be around 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Travelers can expect a high level of comfort and amenities, easy transit connections and good shopping/dining, though fares to the city can feel higher than smaller regional airports and the facility’s popularity can mean busy peak periods.

Milan is served by three main airports with distinct roles. Malpensa (MXP) is the international long-haul hub and usually handles most intercontinental and full-service carriers; it’s about 50 km northwest of the city, with train links (Malpensa Express) taking roughly 40–50 minutes to central Milano Centrale and shuttle buses or taxis from €10–€100 depending on mode. Linate (LIN) sits much closer — around 7 km east — and typically hosts domestic and short-haul European flights operated by legacy and some low-cost airlines; buses or a short taxi ride take 20–30 minutes. Orio al Serio / Bergamo (BGY) functions as the region’s budget-focused gateway, often used by low-cost carriers; it’s some 45 km northeast, with frequent coach services to the city center in about 50–70 minutes and fares generally lower than airport taxis. Pros: Malpensa offers a wide route network and good connections; Linate is convenient for quick city access; Bergamo can be cheaper on fares. Cons: Malpensa and Bergamo involve longer transfers, and Linate can be pricier on landing fees and parking.
