The Gulf hubs — Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi — lie conveniently between India and Switzerland, so a one-stop via any of them keeps total time near the 13-hour mark with frequent same-day Zurich connections. Emirates and Qatar have strong daily schedules and generous baggage. Allow at least 2 hours at the hub. SWISS via an Indian metro avoids an airline change at transit but can cost more.
You arrive at Zurich Airport (ZRH), about 10 km north of the city centre and superbly connected by rail. Trains reach Zurich main station (Hauptbahnhof) in roughly 10–15 minutes, and direct services run to Lucerne, Bern and Interlaken for Alpine trips. A taxi to the centre costs around CHF 40–55. ZRH is a Schengen entry point, so your passport is stamped here if Switzerland is your first Schengen arrival.
If your feeder leg is a separate domestic ticket, the limit may drop to 15 kg and bags must be re-checked at the connection.
