This was very convenient and we didn't have to think about anything. I mean, we could have figured it out, eventually, but this only took a few minutes. Security was pretty breezy. We spent a lot of time in the duty free shop before going to the gate. There were a few dining options, didn't love what we purchased, but we found plenty of seating to wait for our flight.

This is an interesting little airport that is more convenient to certain regions of Switzerland…read morethan the airports in Zurich or Geneva. This facility serviced around 271,000 passengers in 2014 making it the fourth busiest in Switzerland. The traffic level was just over 1% of the level experienced by Zurich airport, the busiest in the country, the same year. When I recently used this airport, I had business in Visp and this was quite a bit closer compared to the larger options. I like smaller airports as they are much easier to navigate than their larger counterparts. This is one of the smallest I have used. There is not much to the facility as there are only a couple of airlines that are present. The waiting areas are small as is the bag claim. There is a limited eatery at the far end of the building that is convenient for a coffee or a light bite. As an originating airport, the approach and access are facile. The drop off area is small but adequate which can also be said of the parking. The check-in and security areas are user-friendly. As a terminating airport, the same advantages of a small airport come into play. The bag claim area functions well and the curbside pickup is easy to navigate. There is also a bus that takes passengers to and from Bern Train Station. The disadvantages of small airports often times come into play, however. In the big picture, airports such as these do not have frequent flights and are very limited on the number of destinations. But there are more specific issues as well. On my arrival from Munich, I needed a carnet stamped for a piece of equipment I was carrying. Getting the carnet stamped was the reason I flew instead of taking a train or driving. Unfortunately, the Customs people, who were supposed to be there until 9 PM (it was about 7:15 PM when I arrived), were arbitrarily gone for the day putting me in a bit of a dilemma. Overall, this airport has advantages in some situations. The best aspects are that it is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. The location is also good for many destinations in Switzerland. The downside is the limited services available. However, if the situation presents itself as favorable, I would certainly consider using this airport again.

SWISS Airlines has been the worst airline experience I've ever had.

Every time I contact customer service, they send me generic links and repeatedly tell me to "check the lost and found" at my local airport -- even though the bag is clearly in THEIR system and in THEIR possession. No one at SWISS takes responsibility, no one follows up, and no one seems to care that my belongings are missing. It feels like once they took my luggage, they stopped caring about what happened to it. For an airline that advertises "Swiss quality," their customer care is shockingly dismissive and unhelpful. I would strongly warn anyone traveling with SWISS: if something goes wrong, you are completely on your own.

When you have a carry on and it is within thecorrect size why the fuck does it matter the weight? On the way from LA to Zurich on Swiss Airlines the women at check in offered to take my carry on bag free of charge because i didnt need to carry it but since i could it was free to take. Now going home on the exact same airline the woman would not take the bag and the managers were complete asses and marked on my ticket that my bag was to heavy so that I couldnt take it through security, but if I wouldnt have asked I could have carried it through no problem cause they dont check the weight in security. Instead I had to pay an extra $90chf for a fucking carry on which doesnt make any sence cause it was the exact same weight coming here. Idiots. Not flying with them ever again.

Today was my first (and probably last time, at least for a while) time flying through Lugano's tiny…read moreairport. I imagine that more of the service is geared towards private flying (particularly based on the number of private jets I saw vs. the 4 daily scheduled flights, all to Zurich), but as such, it makes transiting through here a cinch. We were heading out on the first flight (a 7:30 AM departure), but even arriving ~70 minutes prior to departure was frankly too early. There's a small parking lot to the right where we dropped off our rental car (followed by subsequently dropping off the keys in a keybox), and inside the terminal, pre-security, is a ticket area on the right, which is easy to mistake for the check-in area (which is further in to the left). Since only SWISS flies here, you have 2 lines - one for business, one for economy. It took us less than 5 minutes to get checked in all the way back to the U.S., as well as having our bags checked all the way as well. Security screening is quick and easy - just make sure to take out liquids and laptops/tablets - and then there is a small seating area that has a small duty-free shop and a cafe. There's (literally) nothing else post-security (I'm not even sure that bathrooms are available airside), hence the advice for not showing up that early. When you board, you simply walk out onto the tarmac and up on the plane. If you're lucky to have a southbound takeoff, you will circle around and back north, affording you beautiful views of the area around Lugano, as well as views of the Swiss Alps further west, if the weather cooperates. I imagine that Lugano often gets overlooked because it isn't all that far away from a much larger airport (Milan's Malpensa airport) - but I intentionally picked it because I figured that it would be much less of a hassle to start our trip back to the U.S., even if it meant an extra stop via Zurich (which I like as an airport anyways) - and it worked out just as I thought. The only risk is that, given the dearth of flights, you could be in a little trouble making onwards connections if there are any scheduling issues. That said, our experience worked like a charm. If you are either visiting Lugano or the surrounding area - or are traveling elsewhere and can fly direct to your destination via Zurich - I would definitely recommend looking into LUG as a convenient, low-stress point to begin or end your journey.
