Travel preparation tips

Proper preparation helps passengers start their journey efficiently and smoothly. This includes the following points:

• Use online check-in or, where available, evening-before check-in. Passengers are advised to check the applicable regulations on their airline’s website.

  Information on Self Bag Drop points
• Print your own baggage tag: At special machines in all check-in areas as well as in Arrivals 1 and in Airport Shopping on the way to check-in, baggage tags can easily be created by scanning your boarding pass. The baggage is then dropped off at the check-in counter or – for the above-mentioned airlines – at the self bag drop machines.
• Before traveling, check which items are allowed in hand luggage or checked baggage and which items are not permitted. Special rules apply for batteries, power banks, or e-cigarettes. Traveling with light hand luggage is generally recommended. A practical search function can be found online:

• Each piece of baggage should be labeled with personal contact details.
• Check the recommended arrival time at Zurich Airport: Use the «Find a flight» function on the airport website, select your flight, and indicate whether you’ve already checked in and/or are traveling with hand luggage only. The recommended arrival time will then be displayed as a helpful guideline.
