Cheap flights from Aberdeen to Zurich

The weeks around December matter more than the month itself: late autumn and early January often price differently from the middle of the month, and December is the cheapest month named for this route.

School holidays and Christmas compress demand, while October, November and the spring months can offer calmer connections; midweek departures usually leave more options than weekend ones, and the dated fares run from October through June.

What you feel first is the rules, not the aircraft: Easyjet is low-cost, British Airways and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines are full-service, and the remaining carriers on the list are connecting options on a route with no nonstop flights.

Decide whether both legs are on one ticket, because that changes rebooking if a connection is missed; Loganair Limited, Wider, Cityjet, Emerald Airlines, Aer Lingus and Scandinavian Airlines can appear as part of an itinerary, but the fare inclusions follow the ticketing airline rather than the metal.

Arriving late in the day changes the arithmetic more than the fare, because the last train into Zurich and your hotel's check-in time become the real constraints.

Zurich airport sits outside the city centre, and the usual route in is by train to the main station; if you land after the late services thin out, budget for a taxi or an airport hotel, check which terminal your connection uses, and keep your documents ready for the Schengen border.
