B2: Zurich: you'd have to get back through security too as well though; so line wait times would be something to check for sure

although not as bad as peak/immediate post COVID we still allow 2-3 hours for any stop over just cause of delays and lines

I think it depends on how the border control lines are when you arrive - when we went last year all the queues were long because of - Roger More Nov 27, 08:53
Will you have luggage? When we went through Germany to Scotland, we had to get our bags and re-check through security. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 27, 08:50 6

- Why on earth? That makes no sense. Bags should have been checked through. -- nm - ty97 Nov 27, 08:57 3
  - but can you leave security if bags are checked? If you've checked bags and then aren't on the plane isn't the plane grounded? -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 27, 10:01 2
    - I've left the airport on many long layovers before. -- nm - ty97 Nov 27, 10:12
    - I guess this assumed you get delayed outside the airport -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 27, 10:02
I rejected some flights with less than 90 min layover because of that. - Reagen Nov 27, 08:46 8
- Zurich is a rather efficient airport and one of the only European hubs I'd consider a shorter connection at but I still don't like them. -- (edited) - ty97 Nov 27, 08:55 2
  - TBC, the shorter layovers were at Montreal and Toronto. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 09:15 1
    - I've never connected at those, but ewwww Air Canada (from what I hear) -- nm - ty97 Nov 27, 09:18
- Today in a forum I am on, i saw someone railing at a cruise line because their *plane* arrived late and they missed the first two days of the cruise - Andie Nov 27, 08:53 4
  - Some of the most important advice I can give any traveler: If it's a time sensitive event (cruise departure, wedding, etc) - ty97 Nov 27, 08:57 3
    - (I'm surprise how many people *don't* do this, and I've read so many sad stories as a result) - ty97 Nov 27, 08:58 2

        Wooo!!!! -- nm - ty97 Nov 27, 09:14
I don't recall Zurich being bad for security, but of course check regarding time of year // day of week, etc -- nm - ty97 Nov 27, 08:34
