How I got to Switzerland-
London City-Zurich Air France bae146 (both ways)
London City Airport is better than Heathrow, but Zurich Flughafen surprised me the most, its like Lakeside/Bluewater and all the major shopping centres combined together
The list below shows the log of journies made in Switzerland
