Departure: Zurich Airport (ZRH)

Flights from Zurich to New York leave from Zurich Airport (ZRH), serving Zurich - zurich is Switzerland's largest city on its own lake, with Zurich Airport (ZRH) only about 10 km north of the centre, the Bahnhofstrasse and the old town on the river, and Lucerne, the Rhine Falls, Interlaken and the Alps all within reach by road or the excellent trains. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: Trains reach the Hauptbahnhof from the airport in about 10 minutes, ideal for a city hotel; Interlaken, Lucerne with luggage, or the ski resorts are where a private car or Sprinter earns its place.

• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in Zurich to Zurich Airport

Arrival: New York JFK or Newark (JFK / EWR) and getting into New York

The flight lands at New York JFK or Newark (JFK / EWR). New York City is served by three airports: John F. Kennedy (JFK) in Queens about 25 km from Midtown Manhattan, LaGuardia (LGA) about 15 km away, and Newark (EWR) across the Hudson in New Jersey about 25 km from Midtown, with the bridges, tunnels and expressways between them among the busiest roads in America. From arrivals you have taxis, metro, tram or bus and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Zurich to New York journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Zurich to New York flight

Before you compare the Zurich to New York flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours arranges the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.

• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request

Flying with children, families and groups from Zurich to New York

Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

Things to do in New York when you land

New York City is served by three airports: John F. Kennedy (JFK) in Queens about 25 km from Midtown Manhattan, LaGuardia (LGA) about 15 km away, and Newark (EWR) across the Hudson in New Jersey about 25 km from Midtown, with the bridges, tunnels and expressways between them among the busiest roads in America. The reasons passengers fly from Zurich to New York include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Bridge, the 9/11 Memorial and One World Observatory, the High Line and Hudson Yards and a Broadway show. For the first meal, try a bagel with lox for breakfast, a New York slice of pizza and pastrami on rye at a deli.

We offer tours and transfers in New York as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Zurich to New York

Spring and autumn are the pleasant seasons, summer is hot and humid, and winter cold with occasional snow; the Van Wyck Expressway from JFK and the tunnels into Manhattan are slowest on weekday evenings. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Zurich to New York are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.

Return flight from New York to Zurich

We book the return leg from New York to Zurich just as easily, typically on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Zurich to New York?

Flight prices from Zurich to New York follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The carrier you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.

Just ask for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.

Cheapest flight from Zurich to New York: how to pay less

• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays

• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot

• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Zurich to New York that day and what a slightly different day would cost.
