Nothing wrong :

- either I just want to back up to avoid to spend one day of my holidays in zurich vs brazil...
- or i have bad habits as AF ultimate
- or i expect too much as a P passanget on LX

Hey everyone,

I am flying from Hamburg to Lisbon via ZRH.

My flight lands at 11h10 and my connection is at 12h00. Should I pay €17 for a preferential seat, or will the regular seat selection suffice to get to my connection in time?

I have a LX flight in J class into ZRH with an onward flight on CX flight in F class, the transfer time between the arrival and departure is 3 hours 10 mins, bearing in mind these are on separate tickets so I have to clear immigration, collect baggage and then check in for the CX flight, would you say this is enough time?

I presume based on your details you're on LX451 from LCY ? That flight is on time 98% of the time with a 6 minute average delay, so can't really get better.

That said, maybe your greater risk is what would you do in case your flight is cancelled - do you have enough time to get to another airport in London and make it to ZRH in time for your CX flight ?

I suggest also checking whether your insurance covers you (3 hours between flights is the normal minimum amount, but this can varie upwards or downwards depending on your policy).

Its LX345 out of LHR at 6AM arriving into ZRH at 8:40am

That'll generally work just fine. And the good thing about those first flights out of LHR is that the plane and crew is routinely positioned there the night before; and if there is a problem on that end, LHR is a great place from which to be re-booked. :)

Unless my schedule at the destination could not accommodate any delays, I wouldn't worry about this at all. (Assuming flights on a single PNR, of course.)

I second mmff

If I had the choice, I'd select the longer layover, but with one PNR, nothing to worry about. Probably not pay 150$ to change that..

40 min in ZRH is short but not too short. You can either take the train from A to E, or go to the F lounge in A and be driven to A from there. Either way will involve passport control, before getting on the train or at a dedicated booth before you get to the car/van. Opinions vary but I would go to the F lounge in A, as then they will know you are on your way.

If you are late arriving from CDG, especially if you have an apron parking, there is a very high chance you will be picked up at the plane and driven to E with a quick stop at the passport booth. IIRC 40 minutes is the cut off time

Many of us here have done 40 min connections at ZRH, I have done a number of 25 min ones A-E and made them. LX take very good care of their F passengers (I am up to date with the AF ULT thread - you will be surprised!)
