How to study in Switzerland by plane?

First, the air flight time.

The flight time from China to Switzerland is about 12- 13 hours (excluding transit waiting time).

Second, airport selection

The selection of landing and landing airports is generally based on the principle of proximity. French-speaking institutions are basically concentrated near Lake Geneva, so it is more convenient to choose Geneva Airport. German-speaking areas are concentrated near Zurich airport.

Third, airline selection.

There are seven airports in Switzerland. China has the most flights to Geneva and Zurich airports. International airlines that fly directly to Geneva include Air China and Swissair, while international airlines that fly directly to Zurich include Swissair (originating from Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai). There are also many students who choose airlines such as UAE, Lufthansa, Air France, Aeroflot and Air China. Please consult the airline for details and make more comparisons.

The planes going to Switzerland are basically 3-4-3 big planes with seats 10. If it's the first time, I can't help but buy Swissair if I'm not familiar with it. Direct flight to Zurich, and then transfer to other places. There are no direct flights to Geneva.

If you are familiar with it in the future, buy Deutsche Bahn or KLM. But there is still a difference. Generally, Deutsche Bahn is bought in the north and KLM is bought in the south. The departure time is also different. Deutsche Bahn will fly at 1 1 in the morning and KLM will fly at 5 pm. Deutsche Airlines arrived in Switzerland after 4 pm local time. KLM arrived in Switzerland after 1 1 local time. Deutsche Bahn will transfer via Frankfurt, and KLM will stop in Amsterdam. The price is the same. If you want to travel frequently, remember to apply for mileage accumulation, which is good.

Fourth, the issue of student tickets.

International air tickets suggest that it is best to call the airline for student tickets. General student tickets will be more conducive to luggage carrying. At the same time, it can be agreed in advance, and it also has certain advantages in price.

Air tickets in Switzerland are the most expensive in winter and summer, because this is the season for skiing and summer tourism. In addition, with the sharp increase of tourists from China, the air tickets during the National Day of China in early 10 are also more expensive. In normal times, the price of air tickets can be cheaper.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) transport

Most flights involve 1-2 stopovers. In large stopovers, there are many duty-free shops, so it won't be too boring to stroll around while waiting. Some stopovers are boring, but I remind you not to run out of the airport out of curiosity. The student visa in your hand is a short-term visa, allowing only one entry and exit.

Sixth, the time difference

There is a 7-hour time difference between Switzerland and China, that is, 9 am Beijing time is 2 am Swiss time. From the end of March to the end of 10, Switzerland adopted daylight saving time, 6 hours later than China. Namely: 9 am in Beijing and 3 am in Switzerland. Therefore, in the choice of departure time, if you leave at 1 1 in the evening, you will arrive after falling asleep for more than ten hours. It's still early and the time difference is not difficult. If you walk during the day, it will be a bit difficult!

Like all European countries, Switzerland has winter and summer. Although China used to have it, it was cancelled because of trouble. Time adjustment in Switzerland is regulated. The last Sunday in June 10 becomes winter time every year. The time difference is seven hours in China. Every year on the afternoon of the last Sunday in March 12, it will be adjusted one hour before daylight saving time. The time difference is six hours in China. In particular, I said the last Sunday of this month, not the last day of this month. Because a week after Sunday, it may be this month. Be sure to find out the time. If you make a mistake in your trip, it will be delayed.

Seven, tips

An international air ticket bought from China can bring 25-30 kilograms of things, not much. A kilo of 230 yuan's fine is really a lot.

When you change your boarding pass, you must have an aisle seat on the plane to go to school in Switzerland. After all, it's convenient to stand up and go to the toilet after 9 hours' flight, and my legs can be straightened, which is more comfortable. If you are really late and there is no aisle, you must be near the window, which is also convenient for sleeping. The hardest part is the middle position.
