Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.

Switzerland is Schengen but not EU, so it sits outside EU roam-like-home rules — grab a Swisscom, Sunrise or Salt data SIM at an arrivals kiosk, or activate a Swiss/Europe eSIM (Airalo, Holafly) before landing to avoid steep roaming charges.

Insider tip

The official 'Zurich Airport' network is run by Monzoon and gives 8 hours free, but registration requires SMS verification to a working mobile number (or a boarding pass + ID check at a Wi-Fi station/info desk) — if your phone can't take the verification text, go straight to an info desk rather than fighting the portal.

WiFi network names and session limits change frequently. Verify current details at the airport information desk or official website.
