Tips for a smooth trip to Zürich
Plan ahead and allow for some extra time
Make sure you keep track of your departure time and identify your check in terminal. You can check in online via our website or in the SAS app up to 30 hours before your departure time. It may sound obvious, but it’s always best to arrive a little early rather than being stressed. This is especially true during the summer or other popular vacation times.
Pack smart
Check our baggage rules and restrictions when it comes to baggage. Make sure your ticket type contains the right amount of baggage for what you intend to bring. Please remember that adding bags to our website or SAS App is always cheaper than doing it in person at the airport.
Stay up-to-date
Be sure to regularly check for any updates regarding your flight, such as for example gate changes. Keep an eye on your SAS flight status or download the SAS App for the latest updates.

SEPTEMBER 2023
High mountains, masses of snow and plenty of sunshine, all combined with great food and a vibrant entertainment scene — skiing doesn’t get much better than in the Alps.
There are few things like standing high up on a mountain in the Alps, surrounded by craggy summits in all directions, breathing the clear air into your lungs and then turning your ski tips downward to enjoy miles of fantastic skiing all at once. And when you get to the bottom of the valley, just hop on a lift to the next peak and repeat the process again until your legs get tired and you need to grab a seat on an outdoor terrace with a drink.
As the name suggests, alpine skiing as we know it today was originally born in the Alps, and it shows, as skiing and mountain life are deeply rooted in many of the classic resorts of this mountain range. It’s a life that has been passed down through generations of families running hotels, restaurants and stores, creating a culture that is both authentic and hospitable.
Engelberg, Switzerland
The little town of Engelberg lived a quiet life for a long time until Swedish off-piste enthusiasts “discovered” the resort in the late 1990s and started spreading the word about it in international ski media. This is hardly surprising, because the north-facing mountain Titlis offers one of the largest accumulated snowfalls in the Alps every winter and off-piste terrain that dreams are made of—as long as you are a reasonably advanced skier, that is. Down in the valley, the Swedish-owned Ski Lodge Engelberg (the best ski hotel in the world, in the author’s opinion) is the hub of the village with both a lively après-ski and excellent dining at Brasserie Konrad.
