Christmas holidays are coming soon. Many Swiss people take this opportunity and fly away at the end of the year. You are visiting relatives or friends or want to relax in warmer climates. There is a lot of activity at Zurich Airport these days. 90,000 passengers are expected at the airport on December 22, the busiest day. However, there is always extensive construction work taking place at Check-in 1 at this time.

Due to work, the luggage carousels at Check-in 1 are partially closed. There is a risk of long waiting times. But travelers can avoid unnecessary travel disappointments at the start of their vacation. Blick gives an overview of what you need to consider.

The airport recommends travelers check in online. If you don’t want or can’t check in online, some airlines have the option to check in at the property the evening before. It also helps to clarify in advance what requirements the relevant airline has regarding bulky luggage such as skis.

More relief available for President Airline or Lufthansa Group passengers; these include Lufthansa, Swiss, Endelweiss, Austrian and Brussels airlines. You can use baggage machines called self-luggage drop machines.

Who doesn’t know this: You’re standing in line to board the plane, and many passengers are carrying large backpacks or suitcases. Space in luggage racks is limited. To ensure everything goes smoothly, it is helpful for passengers to bring a small amount of hand luggage with them and check in advance what is allowed in their hand luggage. This is especially true for batteries, liquids, sparklers, lighters, e-cigarettes and avalanche backpacks. Christmas gifts and culinary specialties containing liquids, such as fondue, should be stored in checked luggage. Otherwise, you may get into trouble at security check.

During busy periods, security checks and check-in processes naturally take longer. For this reason, passengers should definitely check the suggested arrival times at the airport. It works very simply: Use the “Find a Flight” function on the airport website to find your flight and record whether you’ve checked in before and whether you’re traveling with carry-on luggage only. The recommended time to arrive at the airport will then be displayed. This way you don’t run the risk of suddenly missing your flight.
