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.
