GA to Zurich...
SEP to Zurich, can go either VFR or IFR.
Tips, tricks and links all welcome.
If we don't fancy Kloten, what are the options with good links into the city.
Many thanks

Kloten (LSZH) is excellent.
Handling is now compulsory, but MFGZ provides a minimal service for CHF 40. You also need an airport slot, via the GASC: Slot.gasc at unique.ch which is not coordinated by MFGZ, but is easy enough.
From the GAT, you can walk the 200 m to the bus or tram stop and get public transport into town. Alternatively you can ride 2 stops the other way to the main terminal and get a train to many destinations.
Tram no. 10 goes both to the terminal and into Zürich, 36 mins to the main station, every 8-15 mins. Timetables etc. via ZVV Home
For 1700 kg I paid (all ex 7.6% tax):
Landing CHF 26
Approach CHF 15
Passenger CHF 32
Parking CHF 8/day

Do you need to clear customs?? If you do then Kloten is your easiest option if you want to got the city. Otherwise there are 1 or 2 smaller airports close by but then it all depends on what runway distances you need....
