How is connecting at ZRH?
How are connections at ZRH?
Is 1:30 enough? I'm connecting from AA (American) to PS (Ukraine International Airlines), but thought the Swiss forum would have the most ZRH-familiar people.

With 1h30 min connection time you'll be fine. You will arrive at Terminal E and you'll take the skytrain there to terminal 2. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You'll find more informations here Transit in ZRH
Enjoy your short stay in Switzerland

I will also be connecting through Zurich in August 06. It'll be my first time. I'll be arriving on LX from the States and then connecting on AC to DEL... what can I expect?
Thanks,

ZRH transit
1:30 connecting is ok if your flight is on time. Getting from E terminal where all intercontinental services operate to B where PS is can be a rather long trek. Don't wander around duty free until you get to terminal B. At that hour the airport is very crowded.
No visa needed, immigration is very fast.

I arrive at ZRH from JFK on Jan 27 at 8.20 departing at 10.00 am for BOM. My first time on Swiss as well as ZRH. Any pointers. On my way back will be stooping for 5 days for visiting a friend in Germany and visiting Zurich.

Not much to point out - you will arrive and depart within the same building (Dock E). All you have to do is re-clear security.

Arriving on LX from YUL, 60 minute transit, onwards with LX to CDG. This is apparently a safe connection time -- if the inbound flight were late, what would be the shortest viable connection time? And would the checked luggage make it?

I had two connections through ZRH last week, flying C from CDG to WAW. For both connections, there was a secondary check of our passport and boarding pass, the latter being stamped by staff from Checkport. Otherwise, the transfer was uneventful although, on the way back, the flight from WAW was 10mn late (I initially had a 65mn connection) and the gate for the flight to CDG was among the farthest A gate and I had to rush . I was slightly surprised that the C passengers were not only NOT given priority boarding but also were told to wait until most coach passengers had boarded.
