  • Lugano Airport (LUG) is the only airport served by commercial flights to Swiss Alps, but this airport only receives direct flights from Zurich operated by SWISS. All passengers flying from the United Kingdom must prepare to have at least one stopover at Zurich Airport.
  • SWISS flies from London Heathrow Airport (LHR), London City Airport (LCY), and Manchester Airport (MAN) to Lugano via Zurich Airport (ZRH). You can also fly to Zurich from Gatwick Airport (LGW) on British Airways or easyJet, but you'll then have to fly to Lugano on SWISS.

Milan Malpensa Airport is a similar distance by road from the skiing towns of the region as Lugano Airport. It’s also served by direct flights from more cities in the UK apart from London and Manchester, including Bristol, Edinburgh and Birmingham.
  • It’s possible to pay for most purchases in Switzerland with a credit or debit card, but when it comes to leaving the airport passengers are advised to have some cash in the local currency, Swiss francs, for transactions like paying for a taxi or buying a train ticket.
  • Although the winter skiing season in the region begins in November, it peaks in mid-January when the Ski World Cup finals take. As this event sees an increased number of visitors, it is advisable to start looking for flights to Swiss Alps as early as possible if you’re planning to travel at this time of year.

Super friendly crew, good communication. I wasn’t expecting food on a short flight but they handed out a cheese sandwich on pretzel bun, very nice!

Super friendly crew, good communication. I wasn’t expecting food on a short flight but they handed out a cheese sandwich on pretzel bun, very nice!

3hr delay and then missed connecting flight with another 6hr wait at the airport before getting a continuation to my trip, worst trip ever in my 50+years of flight travel

Without a doubt, my “customer service” experience with SWISS was the worst of my life. Multiple disconnections in conversations, very cold and indifferent staff, failure to follow up with promised status updates — simply put, T. H. E. W. O. R. S. T. A full week later, and I am STILL waiting to hear from them. Never again for me with SWISS. Disgraceful.

Very unprofessional treatment of customers - boardring on being unethical. Only cares about money and not the customer. If you use the swiss brand, you should deserve it - now swiss air doesn't deserve the swiss brand.

One would expect far better service and quality of seats from Swiss. The crew was super cold at best. My wife and I are both Star Alliance gold members and none of them even bothered to come and acknowledge our status and make us feel special. Seat is in need of a major overhaul. It’s simply outdated and the TV screen is far too small. Food and drinks selection was very sub par.

The flight and all amenities were good to excellent. SWISS was awful to deal with. Every step of the way they nickel and dime you. Chose your seats? $14. Change your seats… No accounting for the prior payment. You get billed again. 17 pound restriction on overhead luggage, nonsense. It’s a weight in the plane whether it’s in the overhead or in check baggage. They just milk you for every cent they can and I resent it. The flight was excellent.

plenty of legspace, snacks, no pull face from flight attendants when asking for a wine. Also fast transfer ability at ZRH.

The noise in the plane made the highest level of sound in the entertainment system ineffeective. The leg room was better than most flights bu the seats are not made for comfort. Food was ok but nothing to look forward too.

OK they lost my hold luggage but notified me straight away. My main complaint, after losing my suitcase, I was told my cabin bag had to go into the hold because of it’s size. I, obviously, didn’t want this to happen bearing in mind what happened to my suitcase and when I voiced my concerns I didn’t get an explanation I was just told it would be taken from me on entering the aircraft. Looking around I was surprised to see many passengers not only with larger bags than mine but sometimes two or three bags,taking them onto the aircraft. In the end, nobody bothered taking my bag off me so I just walked on with it. The whole procedure was disjointed, poorly explained and not terribly efficient.

The flight itself was fine, but due to a snow delay my connection to Lisbon was delayed by six hours. Despite this, Swiss Air still managed to lose my luggage. Not acceptable. Someone else on the flight also lost their luggage.
