    New subscriber here. Thank you for all your informative videos. It gives me an idea on how to navigate my 7 days trip to Switzerland from Zurich. Lautetbrunnen, Wengen, and Murren are on my list of places to visit. I am not sure if we can do a day trip 😄. Also your Interlaken video is very helpful too. Next time we come back I will definitely get the regional ticket. Right now we purchased the Swiss pass for 4 days and thanks for your suggestion on How to enjoy Zurich.

I'll be arriving at Zurich airport coming from US, also my brother who lives in Canada will arrive at the airport an hour later, my question is are all non schengen flights passangers will be out from arrival 2? I want to know because we want to meet at the same spot. Thank you ❤

    The only stress about the issue of the two sectors is that you aren't allowed to cross between them without a flight ticket. So people renting cars but not flying may have a problem

      Louis in your video you spoke of a Geneva Chocolate store. Do you know if it’s at the airport. Prior to you video I made all my reservations and train tickets. No Geneva on this trip maybe next year. But I am going to Gruyere when I arrive for 1 night. Kevin

    Thanks for the helpful video! A question, if you have a moment to answer: I am visiting another country from Zurich by train (bought a ticket through SBB) and the ticket included a train ride from the airport to Zurich HB. There is a departure time noted on the ticket from the airport to HB, assuming that it is the one with the shortest layover/wait. But what if I want to take an earlier train to HB? Could I just get on any train that goes directly to HB with the ticket even though it's for a later time? I don't do well with short layovers and want to give myself plenty of time before my long train ride outside Switzerland.

    All your videos are great! Questions: 1) is there also free wifi in ZRH?, 2) if we purchased a train ticket online ahead of time, can we just take a screenshot, or we need to open the app if we have WiFi and show our ticket in the SBB app?

      Right! The good thing about this is that you don‘t have to walk long distances with your luggage. The carousels are right bevor the customs exit. I prefer this method.
