Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of the United Kingdom

  • It is a requirement throughout Switzerland that all kids under the age of 12 be strapped into child restraint systems. You do not need to fly with your child's seat, as you can easily hire them from the respective car hire agencies on arrival. Additionally, all child restraints must conform to the UNECE regulations. You can easily hire a car seat at your car hire company.
  • If travelling with kids, consider flying to Zurich Airport (ZRH) to find cheap flights to Switzerland. To help make travelling with the little ones easier, the airport has a quiet breastfeeding area. It also has playrooms where kids can relax for a while before leaving the airport. Getting to the city centre from this airport is also easy, since it's only about 6 miles (10 km) away.
  • Zurich is a well-developed town with several transfer options, including bus, shuttle and train. The train station is within the terminal building and departs roughly every 5-10min, getting you to the city centre in about 15min. On the other hand, the bus is easily accessible within the terminal, getting you to the city centre in about 35-40min.
  • The three major airports in Switzerland are located in Basel, Geneva and Zurich. Taking flights to Zurich Airport (ZRH) pretty much places you in the heart of Switzerland and from there, you can very easily travel to other areas, such as Lucerne, Bern and even on to Liechtenstein. With such great rail connections, Zurich is a good base for travelling around Switzerland.
  • Basel is a great place to fly to if you want to take short trips to Germany and France while in Switzerland. Basel’s main airport is EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg (BSL). As its name already suggests, the airport is conveniently located for travel to Basel, Mulhouse (France) and Freiburg (Germany).
  • As for Geneva Airport (GVA), it is only just over 3 mi from Geneva and 93 mi from Lyon, France. Geneva Airport is a good place to fly to if you would like to take a skiing holiday in Switzerland, as many ski resorts are located in the area.
  • If you would like to travel to a less touristy area, Ticino is a good option. The nearest airport is Lugano Airport (LUG), however, flights to Zurich Airport are more frequent and it is only about 100 mi away. Additionally, the international airports of Milan Linate, Milan Malpensa and Milan Orio al Serio are all less than 1h away from Ticino. Note that you should not cover your face (e.g. wear masks, balaclavas, etc.) in public places in Ticino and may be fined if you do so.
  • As a British citizen, you do not currently need a visa for short stays in Switzerland. Your passport just needs to be valid for your entire stay in Poland. It might be worthwhile checking current government advice on travel to Switzerland to make sure you have any necessary documentation.

Good food. Excellent crew service. Clean aircraft. Narrow seats and isle.

There was fog in Amsterdam so many flights were delayed because of the weather. Air France knew that the flight would be delayed by two hours but still boarded the plane on time. Instead of letting the passengers wait at the gate we were crammed into the plane. It was uncomfortable. No refreshments were given. I couldn’t charge my devices onboard.

I tried to upgrade to premium economy anis seat online during the checkin process. The payment didn’t work due to a technical glitch on KLM’s website. I wasn’t able to change my seat unless I called Amsterdam. Since I was in Canada and there’s a time difference this wasn’t practical. So when I arrived early to Ottawa airport my seat wasn’t available and I could only get a middle seat in premium economy which isn’t great. These middle seats are priced at the same rate as an aisle seat which makes no sense.

The food & entertainment really stood out in terms of quality. The nasi goreng & chicken satay were absolutely delicious. It’s great that KLM feature international cuisine.

Seats were comfortable crew members support was very good but AVML ordered or selected by us needs a lot of improvement.

Transavia flight, was booked as KLM but i couldnt select seat or access boarding pass with KLM at all. Crammed seating and very no frills experience all around. First and last time.

Transavia flight. Couldn't select seat or anything prior to flight. No connection with klm systems. Seats are very crammed. Extremely no frills.

Seats were nice and comfy. Crew was polite and attentive. Business class is awesome and worth the money.

Overall a very pleasant flight. No significant issues on either flight. Amsterdam airport is very convenient for connecting

The IFE was quite old, but it worked fine and the content was good. The cabin crew were excellent and the food was as also very good

Nothing special.. they could have provided something to eat without a charge

Terrible plane small airbus good for a 1 hr trip I booked business as it is. A night flight and 4hrs trip it was an ordinary economy seat with no one next to me what a joke what a stupid decision to buy business

For the price of the ticket it's probably the best service in the world

Everything was great except food . It as okay not good not bad

Seats are too cramped, but that is a problem with every airline. I actually enjoyed the meal served.

Crammed like sardines into the middle of the middle 4 seat row for an 11 hour flight was a terrible experience. No attempt made to help passengers sleep by dimming lights or shutting window shades. Small mediocre meals. Not enough good movies/TV options. Hopefully we will never have to do this again.

Flight attendant served beverage to everyone during meal service and forgot about me. Had to call her several times until she realized it. Not a good service for a business class flight

The plane was good - on time! But can the stewardesses smile or actually be nice - not to bark the commands

Edelweiss is now Nickle&dimming, not even a complimentary wine on the intercontinental flight. Sitting space is the smallest I have ever seen.

I would recommend flying SWISS to anyone. Very impressed by the quality of food. The staff was extremely kind and accommodating. They arranged a shuttle to help a group of passengers make connecting flights when there was a delay.

I felt all of the food tasted the same. And we had five meals over the 16 hrs in the air.

The use of a domestic carrier without entertainment was disappointing and a let down

Plane was late with no information or announcement … had to walk up n downstairs.., had not communicated this … and ppl had suitcase to carry .

There where no ear phones provided and the food needs to improve.

The food needs to improve especially the fish as there where only 3 fish cubes in my plate.

I had a full row so can't imagine how this could be better

Boarding was delayed and people were just sitting there like lost.

The experience was amazing! Many thanks to the pilot who informed us that we were passing mt Kilimanjaro and we had the chance to see it !

It’s good alternative flight out from Mogadishu, especially for the timing

Am Wowed I did not ever thought African has such an amazing airline before.

We boarded and then sat on the tarmac for an hour….probably not E Jets fault. But the gentleman that checked us in and took our luggage was exceptionally friendly and calming for early morning/ confused passengers. As always, it’s the people that make or break an experience, right?

I was hesitant to book with a low cost airline due to previous experience but Easy Jet surpassed my expectations. I would definitely book a flight with them again! Seemless booking, upfront about baggage fees, professional, and helpful staff.

Kayak sent several notifications that the flight was late. This contradicted the information on the airport boards. This was extremely confusing and we very nearly missed the flight purely because we double checked with the info desk when the flight stays said’closed’. Kayak notifications are therefore unreliable and pointlesa

Usual issues with flight delay. Perennial problem of travel by plane.

i didnt go this was a hacker booked this flight on my debit card !

Delayed almost 2 hours sitting on plane. No updates at all from flight deck and virtually no updates from cabin crew

Long delay resulted in my being unable to catch a train home and resulted in an additional £76 cost for an Uber

I was charged at the gate for bags I had already paid for. There was no other option. I am trying diligently thought easyJet website but making no progress HELP!

Be sure to check bags for 23 kg,.(50 lbs) Coming from US I chose the wrong size luggage weight when I checked in on my phone, and had to pay more when I dropped it off

All around poor experience. Barely got on flight because it was ostensibly overbooked. Forced into checking a carryon bag with empty overhead compartments. Nickeled and dimed. Charged for coffee. Despicable.

Our headphone plug is broken, we can not enjoy our entertainment, especially traveling with 5 year old who like to watch movie

Reasonably comfortable. Plenty of room. Crew were attentive and continually informing passengers of position. Although stuck in runway for 1 hour, weather issues, it felt like we were the crews first priority

Need a do not disturb sign if you wish not to have any meals so that they can wake you or have the meals served . Left very sad and hungry .

Pleasant, attentive and efficient flight attendants. Boarding process and seat selection easy. No internet on transatlantic flight. Extremely uncomfortable, rigid seat.

No entertainment and the seats are well worn.! To the point it feels like your sitting in a bowl

The seats of the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner were ridiculously uncomfortable. I was on 10 flights during this vacation and this plane was super uncomfortable both times I was on one whereas all of the others were perfectly fine. Additionally, these planes do not have any air vents that passengers can control, the climate is entirely controlled by the crew which made for an extremely uncomfortable temperature for the duration. The flight attendants tried to make everyone happy with the temperature but several people you could tell were excessively warm and just wanted a bit of airflow.

Everything was fine except not posting the gate number until 14 minutes before boarding. In an airport the size of Heathrow, that was unacceptable.

We already had a five hour layover in London, and then they cancelled our flight about half hour before we were due to board. They wouldn't give us access to the lounge and hanging around the extremely busy terminal for another three hours until our next flight was crappy. 8 hours in a busy terminal is awful. The least they could have done was give us access to one of their quiet, comfortable lounges for the inconvenience. I heard from others that they do this a lot -- cancel these short flights if they're not completely full. When we got onto the next flight it was absolutely packed and uncomfortable. Just very disappointing. British Airways used to be a great airline to fly with, but it doesn't feel that way at all now.

Don't fly thru London Awful and huge U need 4 hrs to transfer cuz u have to tale buses to and fro from airplanes Bad business

Staff with low service level, forgetful. Temperature at 15 C and after asking twice to raise the temperature the crew did nothing.
