Cheap Flights from Zurich to Nice — $89

Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s primary international gateway and a key European hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers, European network airlines and some low-cost operators. It’s located about 10 km north of the city centre, with fast rail links taking roughly 10–15 minutes to Zurich Hauptbahnhof and regional trains or trams to surrounding areas; expect fares typically in the mid-range for Swiss public transport. Road transfer by taxi or ride-share can take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and is usually more expensive. The airport is well-equipped with lounges, shopping and business services, making it convenient for connections, though it can be busier and pricier than smaller regional fields. For budget travellers, nearby train stations and occasional low-cost flights can offer savings but may involve longer transfer times or less frequent schedules.

Fly direct from Zurich to Nice for the fastest, most convenient way to reach the French Riviera — fewer transfers, less hassle, and more time to enjoy sun-drenched promenades. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop flight saves time and offers a more comfortable travel experience, making it a great choice for short trips or weekend getaways.
