Flights from Geneva to Zurich: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Geneva to Zurich 
HenrietteFlew with SWISS-Dec 2025
Look at the time between your connecting flights to make sure that you do not need to rush to get to your flight if your flight is delayed.
BeatFlew with SWISS-Dec 2024
For me it was a connecting Flight to overseas, but in retrospect I should have saved that flight and go directly to Zurich by train... I did it only because of the short flight time (40min) compared to a 3-hrs train ride.. but the discomfort was not worth it. Unless you're flying pseudo-business and have no carry-on, save yourself the hassle and get a train ride.
