    Hello forum members:

    We ll be traveling to UK in late March 2020. Upon arrival we will spend one day in London and will fly to Zurich the next day for 5 days stay. I was wondering if I should book air tickets (return tickets from US to UK and then UK to Zurich) now or should I wait until Dec/Jan time frame? Do you think if I wait then prices might go up. Spring break in US starts on March 28th.

    Also for booking air tickets from UK to Zurich are their any low budget airlines that I should check out before purchasing the tickets. As always thanks for all the help!

    Easyjet is the best low price airline for UK – Switzerland. They fly from London to all the three main Swiss airports: Basel, Geneva and Zurich(I do all 3 quite regularly)

    Hi Pure,

    I am not sure about the flight tickets when is better to buy them, maybe other travelers know this better. You can use easyjet, as 1960man recommended you and also have a look at http://www.myswissalps.com/tr avel/toswitzerland/pla ne/tickets.

    Hi Pure

    We always fly with Easyjet to Switzerland. They have released their flight tickets for flights between 29th March and the end of August 2020 today and they are supposed to be super cheap if you book early. However, I have looked at flights to Austria and Denmark and they look similar to their usual prices. £34 to Copenhagen and about £40 to £50 to Innsbruck.

    Have not looked at Swiss destinations fares as we are not planning to go there until 2021 when the new cableway will be open to Eigerglecher.

    Hope this is of help.

    I use Skyscanner and Momondo to track flights and get notices. I would wait a bit longer to purchase tickets unless that is Spring Break in the US.
