45 minute to get connecting flight at Zurich ?? Any tips?

[ggirl]

Never done this before.
its friday before xmas
One ticket
one adult and teen

Have bought ticket already .

It isn't that big an airport but doesn't allow much for delays. Same or different terminal?

doesn't state terminal
its swiss air to Zurich then air canada operated by swiss air
hand only

45 minutes is very likely too short a period of time. Who sold you such a tight connection time?.

Even if your first flight is on time, it’s not enough time to get off the plane and get to the next gate before it closes, I don’t think.

Bought on Netflights.com

surely it wouldn't be sold if it isn't possible ...grasping at straws here

Both operated by Swiss Air - then it should be plenty of time. Zurich is a small airport and they should rush you through.

Doesn’t leave room for delays though.

Zurich is a small airport and they should rush you through.

Wasn't very small back in July this year. Especially if you have to use the little train to get from one part of the terminal to the other,

Where are you flying to? Will you have to go through passports/security? It's possible but it's very tight.

Last time I connected in Amsterdam my bag got pulled aside for extra checks and it took 15 minutes for them to get to it. I then had to queue again for passport control. They have a 50 minute connection that I never book for this reason, it's not worth the stress.

If on time it should be doable. Check if departing from same terminal. If you have to go through second security/passport check, make it known that you are on tight connection and need to rush through.

thanks for advice everyone
it was all on same booking so sold as one trip with connection
flying on to Canada

Dh has emailed for advice from agent
it's him flying with son , dd and I flying earlier in the week direct -thank fuck

Their chances of actually catching this second international flight are slim to none if there is a delay in any part of their travelling. It took my DH over 30 minutes recently to pass through their security channels and signage there is poor too. They have slow and automatic passport gates there and the walk to the international terminal is also quite long; its by no means a small airport.

Such flights would indeed be sold, they are in this to make money after all. Customer care is but a secondary concern to such internet companies. What are their terms and conditions?

Swiss air have said on twitter:
Kindly note that the minimum connecting time in Zurich Airport is 40 minutes and your actual connecting time is 45 minutes. Therefore, it is a valid connection and will be enough time for you to make the connection

we shall see........

Make sure you can get back to the tweet...just in case. But if all goes well, you should be fine and have a great trip.
