Flights to Basel

Flying to Basel is made easy by the location of EuroAirport – also known as EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg – just two miles out of the city. Frequent direct flights connect EuroAirport with over 60 destinations including most major airports across Europe and a few key destinations further afield, such as Canada, Russia and North Africa.

You can fly to Basel via EuroAirport year round from all the major London airports, plus a handful of other airports in the UK and Ireland. The range of flight options offered by low-cost and standard airlines makes Basel an attractive destination for both business travellers and holiday makers, regardless of budget.

Getting to and from EuroAirport

When arriving at EuroAirport, make sure that you leave the terminal heading for the right country. Because the airport is right on the border where Switzerland, Germany and France meet, EuroAirport is technically in France, but is run jointly by France and Switzerland, so there are separate French and Swiss parts of the airport. Exits from the baggage claim area are clearly signposted towards France or Switzerland.

Travelling between EuroAirport and Basel is quick and easy thanks to the city’s excellent public transport system. Direct buses take about 15 minutes to or from the city centre, and the tram network offers good connections to all parts of the city and surrounding areas. If you’re hiring a car, it’s about a ten-minute drive to the centre of Basel.

It’s good to know that everyone visiting Basel gets a free Mobility Ticket, giving you unlimited use of public transport for your whole stay (up to a maximum of 30 days). The only proviso is that you need to be staying in officially registered accommodation, but most of the main hotels are signed up to the scheme. You can pick up the Mobility Ticket when you check into your hotel, but before that you can use your hotel booking confirmation for a free journey to your hotel from EuroAirport.

Fly to Basel via Zurich

While EuroAirport is undoubtedly the closest option if you’re flying to Basel, you could also look at flights to Zurich when you’re planning your visit to the Basel area as it’s less than 90 minutes away by train and only hour by car along the A3 autobahn. There are hourly trains direct from Zurich Airport to the main Basel SBB railway station and regular trains that require a change at Zurich railway station.

Why Fly to Basel?

Basel is a vibrant city in the heart of Europe within easy reach for a weekend break, longer holiday or business trip. Once you’ve arrived, it’s easy to find your way around the manageable city centre and take in all the attractions, including over 40 top-notch museums and art galleries, a varied designer and independent shopping scene and buzzing nightlife similar to the Mediterranean cities. Hop on a flight to Basel and discover this gem of a destination for yourself.

How to survive the flight to Basel?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Basel.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your highest priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
  • A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Basel?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Basel, here you come:

  • Keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
