Worth knowing
First departure 05:00 (S-Bahn, Zürich HB 05:12), last 00:42 (IR13, Zürich HB 00:53), on 363 of 364 days. The last S-Bahn is the 00:34 S24. About 219 departures a weekday, 182 on Saturdays; 12 or 13 an hour from 06:00 to 21:00.
The last train toward the city is at 00:42, the first at 05:00. Between them no train runs, on any night of the week.
Buy a three-zone ticket, not a two-zone one. The city zone counts double, so airport to anywhere in Zurich is three zones; a cheaper ticket is not valid on arrival.
Coming back the same day? Buy the CHF 14.40 24-hour ticket instead of two singles. It costs the same and covers everything in the city in between.
Six or more of you: one CHF 41.00 Multikarte covers six rides and the tariff lets a group share it — CHF 2.20 less than six singles, and the only party-size saving Zurich has.
The airport says the ride takes 15 minutes and trains run every 10; the timetable says 9 to 13 minutes and 12 or 13 trains an hour. The airport's figure is the safe one for a connection.
The single is valid for one hour and the last journey must be finished inside it; the train plus a tram across town fits, a long wait does not.
