Check-in and bag drop –your options

Due to the current travel restrictions and the associated document checks at check-in and at the gate, please allow sufficient time and arrive at Zurich Airport on time.

Online check-in

To avoid any unnecessary waiting, we recommend that you check in before arriving at the airport. To do so, use the online or mobile check-in function on your airline’s website to check in from the comfort of your own home. You can then print off your boarding pass or save it to your mobile phone. You can drop off your baggage at your airline's check-in desk at the Airport.

Check in at the desk or at the machines

At the airport, go to your airline’s check-in area and check in at either the desk or the machine. Please note that some airlines allow you to check in at either only the desk or only the machine. In any case, you simply drop off your baggage at your airline's check-in desk.

Prior-evening check-in

Some airlines allow you to check in and drop off your baggage from 23 hours before your flight. Please check with your airline whether they offer prior-evening check-in.
