FDH · A single-terminal Lake Constance airport where the BOB stop is a two-minute walk and security is short, traded against no contract lounge, thin airside food, and fog-prone approaches.
ZRH · ZRH is a one-terminal Swiss hub with a 15-minute train to the Hauptbahnhof. Originating CT screening lets locals keep laptops/electronics and liquids (up to 2 litres) in the bag; transfers still use 100 ml. SWISS First is excellent if you qualify, and Aspire/Marhaba/Primeclass cover the card networks — Primeclass is listed to close 31 Oct 2026.
