Switzerland is one of the last countries in Europe where passengers can still buy a wide variety of duty-free goods. The Tax + Duty Free outlets at Zurich Airport stock a huge range of perfumes, cosmetics products, spirits and tobacco products, as well as renowned Swiss and international brands, all at unbeatably low prices.
The shops in the passenger areanormally open one hour before the first flight and close when the announcement for the last flight is made.
Reducing waiting times at security checks: if you buy goods worth more than CHF 250 from a duty-free outlet, this entitles you to pass through the security check via a separate lane (“Fast Track”). Ask the sales assistant to add the necessary stamp to your boarding card.
