If you're traveling to Switzerland via Zurich request the
continually updated compact Airport Guide, “Flughafen Zurich”…and if you don't
read German don't be concerned, it’s in English also. Or, go
on-line at
www.zurich-airport.com/
and view this neat little guide book to airport facilities, such as, duty
free; railway connections and special services.
Some of these special services may not be familiar to
Americans. For instance, many Swiss train stations allow you to check
your luggage before your flight and issue a boarding card. At the
airport you may even check in the evening before a flight. This little
handy guide can come in very useful for those traveling to, from and around
Switzerland.
