Bengaluru travellers have a new nonstop option for Switzerland. SWISS says its first Zurich–Bengaluru flight, LX140, departed Zurich on 27 October 2026. The airline announced five weekly nonstop flights, making Bengaluru its third Indian destination alongside Delhi and Mumbai.
The practical benefit is another itinerary to compare when planning a European holiday, business visit or family trip. A route launch alone does not establish that it will be the cheapest or most convenient choice for your dates.
Five weekly flights: start with the calendar
Five flights a week does not mean a departure every day. Search both your outbound and return dates before fixing hotel nights or meetings. For a short trip, compare the arrival time as carefully as the departure: a seemingly attractive fare can become less useful if it requires an extra overnight stay.
The airline’s inaugural announcement confirms the launch and frequency. This article does not quote a live fare, guarantee seat availability or assume that every departure uses the same aircraft.
Compare the complete journey
For a Zurich stay: compare the final fare with baggage and any seat selection you need. Check cancellation and change conditions before treating two tickets as equivalent.
For an onward connection: check whether all flights are on one booking, how much transfer time is available, and what happens if the first flight is delayed. Ask the seller to explain baggage handling and missed-connection arrangements for the specific itinerary.
For a Bengaluru departure: include your airport transfer and a realistic arrival buffer in the plan. Saving time in the air is most useful when the ground journey is also manageable.
Our editorial view
This is a useful addition to the comparison list, particularly for readers who prefer a nonstop journey. Choose it on the strength of the complete itinerary rather than the excitement of a new route. Check the airline’s live schedule again before paying and before travelling.
