Ready to check out Switzerland? This new direct flight service from Seattle to Zurich will make it easier to visit!
Switzerland’s leading leisure airline and sister airline of SWISS International Air Lines, Edelweiss Air is adding a direct flight to and from Seattle starting next year.
The seasonal service is set to begin on June 2nd, 2025. Seattle will have non-stop flights from Zurich on Mondays and Saturdays from June to September, according to the airline.
“Whether you’re going to Switzerland or coming from there to visit Seattle, a journey on either continent just got easier with this connection between world-class cities,” said Lance Lyttle, SEA Airport Managing Director.
“SEA continues to provide new opportunities to experience new regions of the world. And don’t forget, Zurich is the home of FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association), which will be in Seattle to host the World Cup in 2026!”
Seattle is Edelweiss Air’s sixth destination in the U.S./Canada, which include Denver, Las Vegas, and Tampa in the U.S., with Calgary and Vancouver in Canada, plus adding Halifax in 2025.
The airline says that the twice-weekly service will be on an Airbus A340-300 aircraft connecting to the Edelweiss, SWISS, and Star Alliance networks extending across Europe and beyond.
“We are delighted to add Seattle as our latest destination in the USA,” says Bernd Bauer, CEO of Edelweiss.
“This nonstop service offers a convenient link to Zurich, at the heart of Europe, while also bringing a significant number of Swiss travelers to Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. Swiss visitors typically enjoy longer stays and contribute more economically compared to visitors from other countries. We anticipate bringing over 5,000 visitors to Seattle each summer, generating an economic impact of more than $20 million for the region.”
On Mondays and Saturdays starting in June 2025, the Seattle to Zurich flight will depart at 4:25 pm and land at 11:45 am the following day. And the Zurich to Seattle flights will depart on Monday and Saturday at 1pm, arriving at 2:50 pm.
Good time to plan that Euro trip!
