Cheap flights from Zurich to Munich

March offers lower prices than other months, though daylight and weather conditions vary throughout the year. Winter brings shorter days while summer provides longer evenings at both ends of your journey. Book well ahead if you plan to travel during school holidays or around December when demand rises across European routes.

The carriers covering this route include Vueling Airlines, Air Serbia, Condor, Scandinavian Airlines, Norwegian, Malta Airlines, HOP!, Eurowings, ITA Airways and Aegean Airlines. Low-cost options like Norwegian and Eurowings keep base fares lower but charge separately for extras. Full-service airlines tend to include checked luggage in their standard tickets.

Munich International receives all arriving passengers on connecting flights from Zurich. The airport sits roughly thirty minutes by train from the city centre, with S-Bahn services running regularly throughout the day. Allow extra time if your connection arrives late or during peak travel periods when queues form at immigration.
