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

  • 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.
  • 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.

Delay more than hour created pressure to catch the connecting flight

Delay more than hour created pressure to catch the connecting flight

I purchased a one way business class ticket from Geneva to Miami but the check in agent said I had an economy ticket and later upgraded to business class. This was not the case, I had a single business class transaction. I was forced to pay for my second checked bag. I am unsure of why this happened. But I won’t use Kayak again for business class tickets.

The seats were so close together, when the man in front of me put his seat back, the screen in front of me was 9 inches from my face. There is no way to lean forward if I needed to pick something up. It was pretty uncomfortable for a ten hour flight. I was very surprised.

The food was good. Most the staff was pleasant. The flight would be drastically improved with WiFi on a long international flight.

The whole experience was positive. Crew very friendly and helpful. Very greedy with pre-seat allocation. Web site too complicated

Each flight we took was late with little or no updates or information.

Swiss airline do not allow online check-in before 24 hrs, this is very inconvenient to us. I tried many ways such as booking code(6 numbers) or 13 booking numbers , neither of them work, Lufthansa is better which allow us to check in even before 30 hrs, so we can assign our seats( not many people want spend extra money to assign seats on top of airfare which is already spent.)

Clean, efficient and quick response time when we missed our connecting flight.

When I needed to get my bag off of the plane so that I could take a train because the connection was 4 hours later, they took 2 hours to take my bag off making me take the train and miss my flight simultaneously. The seat size on the plane is too small for an average aged woman let alone a middle-aged man. It's unacceptable and I will not fly Boeing again.

The flight was generally good but was delayed departure meant a very late arrival for a connecting flight.

Not happy with price of luggage or that we had no choice but to pay whether cabin or hold. I didn't book seats but this is unnecessary extra money along with suitcase

We accidentally purchased twice the bags we needed. Our fault, but the ticket was not clear to us, and it asked us to purchase bags at checkin. When we notified them to get credit back at the airport, they said to contact customer service. We flew the flight and then contracted customer service. They said no credits after the flight has flown. Not customer service oriented at all. They know we didn’t check that many bags and kept our money for a service they did not provide. Be aware and very careful of what you are purchasing from them because they will not make it right if there is an error.

sadly in Basel & Naples- no jetway we had to climb up and down stairs with our max size carry-on luggage, which was not fun!!!

This was our first time using them. I gave okay ratings for food and entertainment because it was minimal or not provided so I couldn't judge, but much better than most budget carriers we have ever used.

We were charged a ridiculous amount for a name spelling error on ticket which I would’ve corrected if I received pre-check info more than 1/2hr before flight. Then we were told at ticket counter that our bags were fine for boarding but then we’re charged another ridiculous amount to take in our luggage despite being told differently. Flight itself was great. Charges were unfair.

Apart from an email about re configuring passenger seating less than 24hrs before flying it was all good.

There were a lot (4 I think) of EasyJet flights leaving Agadir, we arrived two and a half ours before our flight. Very slow to get through the booking in, passport control and security!! We had booked in on line but had to Queue with others who had not to drop our bags off!,

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

Cancelled flight, limited information and chaotic rebooking and accommodation provision. Apathetic crew who were more interested in taking about their layover plans than remembering passengers orders and actually bringing them (after 3 reminders). To top it off, priority baggage checked in at The Wing (LHR’s first class checkin) was delivered last to the baggage belt.

The crew were good. The flight was on time. The entertainment choice was ok. But the food was bad, tasted and texture were awful.

After boarding we were waiting in the plane for more than one hour to take off without AC with very high temperature inside

The flight was an hour late leaving Heathrow. The food was mediocre. When we got to Austin, my husband’s luggage was missing. He filled out information at baggage claim. We are waiting to hear something. His name is Henry Jacob Braunig.

Only for BA because we had to get to Edinburgh at a certain time. Baggage lost, late boarding with only one person checking, again, our passports and boarding passes until the despatch controller had to step in to get us away. Will never fly BA again.

The food was very good and it came multiple times

Flight from LGW to JFK delayed by 4 hrs No explanation given until the pilot said the delay due to planned maintenance on the aircraft

We arrived late to London, and consequently were 5 min. late to be allowed through security for our next flight. Even though dozens of people missed the same flight, BA did not radio ahead to hold open security for an extra 5-10 min. to allow people to get on the flight. This caused an additional 6 hour delay in London after waiting over an hour in Customer Service to get rebooked. They did not have enough staff on hand to help people in a timely manner. Not at all happy with the BA's customer care or customer service.

All service prior to the flight was terrible: online check-in not working, no customer service tel,, multiple airport scanners not working, A huge mess.

CONSTANT ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE WIFI COULD NOT BE PURCHASED DUE TO INABILITY TO CONNECT PAYMENT SYSTEM VIA SATELLITE. THIS HAPPENED IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. THE MAIN REASON I TRAVEL IN PRIORITY IS TO BE ABLE TO WORK FOR WHICH I NEED ACCESS TO INTERNET. .
