Between mountains and magic: Tips for an amazing trip to Switzerland

Departure day was upon me and I arrived at Zurich Airport with plenty of time before my flight back to Tampa. Pro tip: If you're checking a bag, print out your baggage tag at one of the self-serve kiosks and use the self bag drop instead of waiting for an agent. I quickly cleared security and breezed through passport control.

After boarding, I took my seat in Economy Max. I lucked out and had an entire row to myself! As we lifted off and the Alps faded into the distance, I felt ready to return home, but grateful for every moment this quick trip provided me.

Upon landing at America's Favorite Airport, I used the Global Entry mobile app to expedite the re-entry process. Within 10 minutes from stepping off the plane, I had cleared customs and waited only minutes before my checked bag arrived.

Switzerland was truly a magical experience and I can't wait to visit again (and again). So what are you waiting for? Book your next magical mountain getaway today with Edelweiss Air and let your dreams of exploring a real-life snow globe become reality. Don't forget to pack your coat and hat!
