  • 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.
  • Alternatively, if you prefer a flight to Swiss Alps with the least stopovers possible, you can fly directly to Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) in Italy. 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.

Airline reviews

Bad experience overall. Crew did not provide food for our 2 year old (even though we specifically bought a child infant seat for her and literally bought another full price flight), which was unacceptable. And we had to pay $310 each way to carry our ski equipment even though they advertise it as something that is free. Tickets were purchased the same way as usual, but they told us we had Economy Light tickets (I never elected to have such seats). Just plain manipulation and false advertisment. Very disappointed overall about this airline.

Flight from Warsaw to Zurich was just OK but the food selection for purchase was very limited. They were out of sandwiches from the very beginning

No food was served on this short flight and we had no entertainment. Please add a box to check. We were served delicious Swiss chocolate though! The boarding process was fast and the crew very friendly.

Water bottles could be in more sustainable packaging than plastic bottles

It was much better than most airlines we have flown with. It remo des me Swiss Air 25 years ago.

Horrible!! The WiFi was not working, the food was awful

We’ve never been more uncomfortable on a flight than we have on this particular one. The seats in front of us reclined so far back that when the person reclined their seat of broccoli, it almost hit me in the face and left me with literally no room to move that said I had to recline my seed in which made the person behind me upset. It seemed like the seats also would recline without even pressing the button in the armrest and would unrecline as well for that same reason, and it also seemed that some seats reclined more than others. The bottom cushions of the seat were so thin that even after one hour of an 11 hour flight, our tailbones were so sore. It seemed like an overall old airplane. It also didn’t have individual air vents and it was extremely hot the entire flight. Several passengers were commenting on how hot it was. The breakfast was some kind of flavorless triangle, puffy egg, laying in a watery bed of steamed peppers and onions and spinach. It was not appetizing at all. The flight crew was extremely nice so that was a nice thing this flight attendant. They let us try different types of Swiss sodas, which was really nice and the dinner was actually delicious but still overall given the other considerations. It was pretty much a miserable flight without basic seat comfort.

Zürich-NY part of the trip was really good! Enjoyed professionalism and courtesy of the crew, comfort and cleanliness of the aircraft.

Smooth boarding, on time flight, decent food and entertainment options.

Best international flight I have had in a while! Far superior accommodation, services, food and general experience compared to U.S. airline companies.
