IconLarge LCD display with the next stops
Disadvantages
IconMan must first travel to Switzerland with Deutsche Bahn
I travel to Switzerland at least twice a month, often on the Zurich Airport-Hauptbahnhof etc. route, and I spend a lot of time travelling there. The price-performance ratio is very good for Switzerland. A ticket costs CHF 24.20 for the zones. This gives you a certain amount of time in which you can travel in the paid zone. It's best to take the S2 and S6 for the Zurich main station-airport route. You have to change trains twice, but it's always the fastest connection and the trains aren't quite as full as on the direct connections.
Advantages
IconVery punctual arrival
IconClean train
IconNo delays
Disadvantages
IconNo wifi
I have travelled between Zurich Main Station and Zurich Airport several times this year and the trains have never been delayed. As usual, trains in Swizerland are normally very punctual. It is a good point if you travel to the airport because you know you will arrive to your flight on time. Also there is always room to comfortably seat and the trains are very clean. The only thing to improve would be to have wifi on board.
Advantages
IconGood frequency of the connection
IconFast connection
IconClean trains
Disadvantages
IconNo wifi
IconNo sockets
IconNo catering
Unfortunately, there is no wifi on the regional connection, no power sockets and no catering either, but all three are really not necessary for this 10-minute journey. The seats are very comfortable, the staff are friendly, the trains are generally very clean, both in terms of the toilets and the individual compartments. The train arrived on time and also runs very frequently and the price-performance ratio is also okay for Swiss standards and the really very fast connection.
