    The inter-terminal train here plays Swiss noise, like mountain stream, cows mooing and Alpine horns. There's also speed-by ads in the tube that surprise train riders, but they're awesome.

    Getting stuck for a night in Zurich is highly recommended. Gorgeous city, great free hotel room provided by the airline, overall the best cancelled flight location you can ask for.

    A nice airport, well connected with the city. Don't forget the Observation Deck, a perfect place to relax taking Picts of planes departing and arriving.

    Clean, clearly marked with visible signs, free capped wifi, very expensive food and drink. The lounges had good food and drinks.

    When connecting to the US from Europe, don't forget there's a second passport control line right before the gates. It pays to join the line with two economy agents ;-)

    Take the rail downtown (the station is across the street from arrivals). It's $7 vs $50 for a taxi, and faster. And you can plug in your cell phone on a train.

    Who needs more than 60 minutes of wifi when you have kiosks of free design and architecture magazines to browse? Amazing airport.

    I just Love this AirPort. It IS so ... Hmm... Hard to say... Swiss made! By the way they sell beer in canes at the marché. Lot cheaper then at the center bar!

    Long layover? Terrace outside security @ the airport is nice! Or make a daytrip, luggage holding is 5 francs for 4hrs (go to Service Center) & train to Zurich HB (main station) is frequent and ~15 min

    Clean, friendly, great - yet expensive shopping, short ways and easy to navigate. Nice Star Alliance Lounge. My favorite European Airport!

    Free wifi for 120mins. Clean toilets, expensive foods, the airport open 24hours. You can sleep overnight in terminal D just in front of the transit hotel for free.

    free internet for 60 mins, just enter the code you get when opening the web browser and then surf-away :) be aware: transferring might take some time b/c of terminal change (airporttrain)

    There is an observation deck that is open to the public and it seems a balcony to watch takeoffs and landings. Wi fi is free for 1 hour.  Enjoy!

    Tons of chocolate, Swiss kirsch is a must! Didn't like hundreds of duty free shops with the same products all located in the same area

    Handsomely designed airport. The family services & children's play area were top notch. Tons of toys, private nursing rooms, staffed... Simply awesome.

    Always ensure to be here at least 2.5 hours before your international flight. Finding the right counter to check in could be taxing and queues tend to be longer.

    Nice airport; lots to see if you have some layover time to kill. Don't miss the cuckoo clocks in the Swiss shop.

    there's a transitional hotel here. Not very so great with only public bathrooms and you can't shower in your own room. Yet it's a good choice for those who can't get putt of the airport to rest.

    Switzerland's federal parliament decided in 1945 that Zürich was to be the site of a major airport, and sold 655 hectares (1,620 acres) of the Kloten-Bülach Artillery Garrison.

    One of the cleanest & most peaceful airports I have ever traveled through. Try the macaroons & visit the Tiffany & Co. store

    Careful when using E gate, bordercontrol is a bottleneck by design (architecture & lack of technology) plan enough time for that

    If you're in transit in the morning from overseas to Europe, it may be worthwhile going out and coming back in. By going landside, you have to reenter via security but immigration is much faster!

    You get fully confused if it’s your first visit, especially in “The Circle” building. But there is also a new building under construction, wish it’s not a circle😁

    Security, Immigration, traveling between train terminals and then walk to the gates takes time so be here well before time to enjoy this buzzing airport.

    There's free wifi (really) from MasterCard with comfy chairs. Free use of iPads on the WiFi with a few games installed! Get your Angry Bird fix. Above the Starbucks, before the "departures" area.

    So different from any other airport. The smoking booth can be found on every level - which makes me question whether it's a French airport really; )
