Forums Frequent flyer programs Other frequent flyer schemes (Swiss) 55 minutes at Zurich

  • 1,801 posts

    Hello, got an email from Lufty group.
    The time between my incoming and outgoing Swiss flights at ZRH has been changed, leaving me with 55 minutes.
    I guess they must be pretty confident I can make this.
    But what is the reality? will I need to run?
    It’s on one ticket, from BKK to BHX.

    Thanks.

    ZRH is an efficient airport and 55 minutes is plenty of time.

    I’ve done a couple or 55 minutes connections there and not only did I make it but so did my luggage.

    I believe the min connect time is 40 minutes which is sufficient. If all the ducks line up including gate location you may have 5-10 minutes to go to the lounge.

    Get a luggage tracker and also ask at the boarding gate if they can confirm your bags have been loaded. You will make it in 55mins, but bags don’t always.

    I lucked out yesterday with a LX time change and now have 90 mins connection at ZRH. Nearly sufficient to lounge it.
