Pros

Very punctual arrival

Clean train

No delays

Cons

No wifi

I have travelled between Zurich Main Station and Zurich Airport several times this year and the trains have never been delayed. As usual, trains in Swizerland are normally very punctual. It is a good point if you travel to the airport because you know you will arrive to your flight on time. Also there is always room to comfortably seat and the trains are very clean. The only thing to improve would be to have wifi on board.

Pros

Good frequency of the connection

Fast connection

Clean trains

Cons

No wifi

No sockets

No catering

Unfortunately, there is no wifi on the regional connection, no power sockets and no catering either, but all three are really not necessary for this 10-minute journey. The seats are very comfortable, the staff are friendly, the trains are generally very clean, both in terms of the toilets and the individual compartments. The train arrived on time and also runs very frequently and the price-performance ratio is also okay for Swiss standards and the really very fast connection.
