Actually, in most of mainland Europe, it's much like flying from Texas to Florida. Presumably, you don't have Customs borders between the two, do you?
The Europeans have sensibly introduced frictionless borders between all the countries within what's called the Shengen Area. 26 countries, including Switzerland which isn't even in the EU, participate.

TOO
I wish it was that easy. Unfortunately when you are flying there are some countries and locations that require additional paperwork 4 hours in advance. UK, Switzerland and several "tax free" islands require this. And on the return trip same thing but then the requirement is from EU. And a check by immigration officials is quite common.
