These are all solid points. I do prefer the ZRH airport overall but the aircraft is the concern as mentioned. With regards to transfer, that might be a bit tricky though. We will be on separate tickets. In theory UA should check out bags through, but I am guessing we will still likely need to go out to get our boarding passes. Any of these connections should allow for plenty of time for either scenario though….we will have roughly 5 hours.
