Zürich International Airport Address

Zürich International Airport is not one of the easier airports for first-timers to navigate.. A series of buildings connected by walkways form a horseshoe around the main road and six parking garages. The Airport Shopping Center is the first building that passengers reach. One floor is the train station, two floors contain shops, the bus station, and Check-In 3. The final floor houses two parking garages. Behind the Airport Shopping Center is the Airside Centre with the other two check-ins, both arrivals, and more shops and restaurants. Gate A, Gate B, and Gate/Dock E, as well as the six parking garages, office buildings, and cargo flight areas complete the main areas of the airport.

Because of the airport's structure, it can seem rather daunting to newcomers, and some experienced travelers suggest visiting the day before to get a feel for where passengers need to go the day of their flight. Those flying into Zürich International Airport will do well to print out a terminal map and look it over before traveling to avoid frustration while traveling. Additionally, tourists should pay attention to the signs within the airport and they should not have a hard time getting to their gate.

The airport is located within ten miles of downtown Zürich and serves a number of airlines from around the world. There are many transportation methods available to bring passengers into the city and the roads are easy to travel, so renting a car is a nice option for those who plan to do some sightseeing outside of the city limits. Passengers should be aware that Zürich International Airport hasn't completely banned smoking. There are a number of smoking areas throughout the building, so while this might not please non-smokers, smokers will find it relatively easy to get in a cigarette before boarding their flight.
