Hello Leeyining19 and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

Read about the validation process of the Swiss Half Fare Card below. If required. You would have to validate your card before the first journey.

Should you need to validate according to the above criteria you will be fine at Zurich Airport for validation. I don’t assume you’re arriving right in the first or last hours of the day?
