Traveling between London and Lucerne offers a variety of convenient options to suit your preferences, schedule, and budget. Whether you prioritize affordability, speed, or comfort, you’re sure to find the perfect way to travel without compromising on quality or convenience.

Useful tips for plane travellers
• Consider flying with British Airways or Swiss for direct flights from London City Airport (LCY) to Zurich Airport (ZRH), as they often provide onboard refreshments and suitable seating for a comfortable 1h 30m journey.
• Upon arriving at Zurich Airport, follow the signs for the train station located in the lower level of the airport; trains to Lucerne run frequently, with the journey taking approximately 50 minutes and costing around CHF 25. Check schedules at SBB.ch.
• If you prefer taking a taxi from Zurich Airport to Lucerne, expect to pay around CHF 200-250, but using public transport like the direct train is often faster and much more economical.
