About this route

Route overview

Lugano combines Swiss service expectations with Italian geography, so a ZRH transfer is often part of a wider plan: Lugano, Como, Milan or a private lake villa. The key operational factor is the Gotthard tunnel and seasonal A2 load. Your chauffeur tracks the flight, meets you in arrivals with a name board and drives door to door; the vehicle is assigned as a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, S-Class or V-Class according to passengers and luggage.

Best for

Most common use cases

  • Guests continuing to Lugano immediately after landing in Zurich
