Cheap flights from Rzeszow to Zurich

September is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar covers September, October, November, December, January, February and July. Late autumn is the calmest stretch, while December brings Christmas traffic and January and February fill with ski travellers heading for the Swiss Alps. July is peak summer holiday time in Poland and Switzerland, so those fares climb early. Midweek departures are usually lighter than weekend ones, and because every itinerary involves a change of plane, allow generous time between legs. Book a few weeks ahead in the quiet months and further out for the winter and summer peaks.

Two carriers sell this route: Wizz Air Malta, a low-cost airline, and LOT Polish Airlines, Poland's national carrier. Neither flies Rzeszow to Zurich non-stop, so every itinerary is a connecting one with a change of plane along the way. A budget fare keeps the base low and charges for what you add, such as baggage or a chosen seat. LOT Polish Airlines sells several fare families, so what is included depends on the option you pick. Compare the total for your dates rather than the headline fare, because a cheap ticket with paid extras can end up costing more than a full-service one.

Zurich Airport is the only airport serving the city, and it lies a short ride north of the centre, close enough that the train is the easy choice. Trains leave from the station under the terminal building for Zurich's main station, with taxis and car hire outside arrivals if you prefer. Because you arrive on a connecting itinerary, your hold bag is usually checked through to Zurich, but confirm that at the first check-in if the legs sit on separate tickets. If you land late, check the last train or bus to your accommodation before you fly.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Rzeszow has one airport, Jasionka, so check your terminal and leave time for the drive from the city.
• Every itinerary changes planes, so check the connection time and whether both legs sit on one ticket.
• Booked separately, the legs carry the risk of a missed connection and a bag you must collect and re-check.
• On a low-cost fare, add baggage and seat selection before comparing it with a full-service ticket.
• Bring a valid passport or ID card for Switzerland and check the entry rules for your nationality.
• Winter demand to Zurich peaks around the holidays and the ski season, so book early for December, January and February.
