As much as I love flying SWISS, it just made more sense to fly EasyJet considering flight schedules and availability. Yet it came at a cost.
That left us a choice: fly into Zurich on SWISS at 7:55 pm (which would have created a 9-hour layover) or take the 5:10 pm EasyJet flight to Basel (BSL), an airport that is only 15 minutes from my in-laws versus 50-60 minutes from Zürich.
We chose the EasyJet flight. Tickets were about 170 USD each with no hand baggage or checked baggage…yes, we traveled light (the irony being that SAS has one of the most generous baggage policies in the industry and with the four of us flying business class and my SAS Gold / SkyTeam Elite Plus status, we could have checked up to 10 bags at no cost).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
