About this route

London to Zurich flights

London to Zurich has 10+ daily flights from Heathrow and London City, serving both business travellers and those heading to the Swiss Alps. BA and Swiss (Lufthansa Group) dominate the schedule, with EasyJet offering lower-cost alternatives from Gatwick and Luton. The 1-hour 50-minute flight and 1-hour timezone difference keep arrival times predictable.

Zurich Airport (ZRH) is efficient and well-connected. The airport has one main terminal complex with arrivals on the ground floor. From landing to exit is typically 15-20 minutes. The airport train station sits directly below the terminal, with trains to Zurich Hauptbahnhof (main station) every 5-10 minutes, taking just 12 minutes. Connections to Bern (60 minutes), Lucerne (60 minutes), and Interlaken (2 hours) are convenient from Hauptbahnhof.

Swiss uses Zurich as its hub for connections across Europe and to long-haul destinations. London City services (operated by Swiss on Airbus A220 aircraft) are popular with banking and finance professionals travelling between the two financial centres. The smaller aircraft and London City's steep approach make this a distinctive flying experience.

Winter ski season (December-April) sees increased demand for Zurich services, as the airport is a gateway to resorts in Graubünden, the Bernese Oberland, and central Switzerland. Summer hiking season is equally popular. Transfer services to ski resorts take 2-4 hours depending on the destination, so a landing alert helps coordinate onward transport.
