Train to WinterthurorIR75 to Lucerne?

From

Zürich Flughafen railway station, platforms 1 to 4 — any train whose destination lies beyond Winterthur: St. Gallen, Konstanz, Romanshorn, Chur, Weinfelden, Thayngen, Rorschach, Sargans

To

Winterthur, the main station in the middle of the city: 13 to 15 minutes non-stop by InterCity or InterRegio, 19 on the S24 via Bassersdorf, Effretikon and Kemptthal

Luggage

Mainline Swiss trains: racks and standing space by the doors.

Runs

05:15–00:30

Journey

13–19 min

Buy four zones, not three. Airport to Winterthur is CHF 9.40 (zones 120, 121 and 122, with 120 counting twice); the CHF 7.20 three-zone ticket that reaches Zurich is not valid on arrival. Enter "Winterthur" as the destination in the ZVV app or at the machine and the zones come out right.

Take whichever comes first. The IC1, IC5, IC8, IR13, IR75 and EuroCity run non-stop in 13 to 15 minutes; the S24 stops three times and takes 19. Same ticket, same platforms.

The ticket lasts two hours and includes Winterthur's zone, so the city bus from the station is covered without buying anything else.

The last train is the 00:30 IR13 and the first the 05:15 S-Bahn on weekdays, 04:18 at weekends. No train and no night bus between them: the N10 night bus from the airport goes to Zurich.

Six or more of you: one CHF 53.60 Multikarte covers six rides and may be shared — CHF 2.80 less than six singles. Coming back the same day, the CHF 18.80 24-hour ticket costs exactly two singles.

The 9 o'clock day pass is CHF 28.00 and covers every zone; it never beats a CHF 18.80 four-zone 24-hour ticket for this ride.

The ticket is SBB's, not ZVV's: Zürich Flughafen to Luzern, CHF 31.00 an adult, CHF 15.50 for a child of 6 to 15 or with a Half-Fare card, under-6s free.

Hourly at weekends; on weekdays there is no direct train at 07:15, 12:15, 15:15 or 17:15, and none after 20:15 on any day. Take any train to Zürich HB and change — the ticket is valid all day on any train along the route.

The full fare is fixed; the "Supersaver" for one named train is cheaper, demand-priced and refused on any other train, so it is not priced here.

No direct train on 7 and 8 November 2026 in SBB's published timetable.
