Closed Airport Terminal Experience - Zurich Airport Behind The Scenes
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 10. 2020
- I visited Zurich Airport and explored the airport with 2 public tours. My first tour started at the recently opened observation deck. I went on the bus tour that shows you around the entire Zurich Airport, with a stop at the intersection of the runways for some close-up plane action.
Then I joined the behind-the-scenes airport tour, walking around the ramp with my excellent guide Rene explaining the airport operations in detail. We saw the latest Qatar Airways A350 arriving at its gate. Within minutes, the ramp sprang into action with loading and unloading activities.
Then, we went to an empty mid-field terminal E; this terminal has been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a bizarre experience to walk through the entire terminal in total silence. Next, we went to see the baggage belt system, checking out how the bags are delivered to each airplane. The tour gave a rare insight into the Zurich Airport operation. I was amazed at how open Zurich Airport is with these excellently run public tours.

It's great to see the observation deck has opened again in Zurich and the airport offer many cool behind the scenes tours to the public. ZRH Airport set a great example for many other airports to follow in developing general public's interest in aviation. Hope to see ZRH in better times ahead!
Hi
Appreciate your work sam❤️
Hi
Stay safe in your travels Sam.
im SWISS I LOVE THIS!!!!! THANKS SAM!!!😄😄😄
Makes me feel really sad looking at those lonely airports, which used to be so lively a year back :(
yup
Sam, your energy, enthusiasm and videos consistently make me smile. Thanks!
Thanks Greg, I found myself much more energetic on a plane or at airport :)
Yes his videos are so motivating 🤘🛫🛫
@@SamChui well you said many times and I can see it yourself better in a airplane and in a airport than at your home. BTW, Sam, has covid-19, really make you miss the before covid-19 world particularly aviation?
SAM, WHERE ABOUT IS YOUR HOME, AS U SEEM TO BE FLYING ALL THE TIME?
@@hyd916 what's up with ALL CAPS?
To see the edelweiss flowers in their natural environment, you need to go quite high up in the Alps, above the forest line and below the bare rock line, approx 1800-2500m high. At least in the Alps they can be found pretty much everywhere, don't know about the other mountain ranges.
Yep, Zurich Airport is only about 400 meters above sea level. I think what you saw were common daises.
If I ever go to Switzerland Im 100% taking that tour.
Yes peaceful
I wish more airports had interactive observation areas like ZRH ✈️
Sam Chui's video is always so inspirational and interesting to watch.
Hopefully one day my channel can be equally successful
Come leave your mark 🙋🏼♂️
From Malaysia?
Your channel quite interesting. Keep it up 👍🏻
Proud to see that and be Swiss.
Thank you Sam for what you do and thank you Zurich Airport to make us proud and show the best of Switzerland
Hey Sam, In 2012 As an aircraft engineer I had the opportunity to be in Zurich for my A340 & A330 RRT700 training. The country and SRT has been close to heart. Its great to Zurich Airport again through your lense. Aviation will prosper again. Peace ✌ and safe to all , From Malaysia 🇲🇾.
Cool Video!
Its so strange to see a Video from you about the Zurich Airport cause I live like 10min away from the Airport😂
Haha same i live in Bülach 😅
Strange indeed, but going to ZRH makes me happy, beautiful airport with great visitor access!
Used to pass through ZRH every single day for abou 5 years on my way to work from Embrach to Zurich city. So it was such an interesting time to see it transform from an old airport to the state of the art it is today. Thank you Sam, hope you liked Switzerland!
Only the best from Sam. I'd walk a mile to watch one of his videos.
@@ic3t3ap3ach heheh ich au
Enjoying world through his eyes
Love this airport! ❤️ it’s a weird feeling that I see everyone in the video nearly every day or two while I’m at Zurich airport 😅 amazing people that work at Zurich airport that are alway’s ready to help and always really kind.
Nothing can stop our love for aviation!
Once again an exclusive video by Sam! no doubt the best aviation vlogger! I am short of words to express him! Keep it up! Maybe a behind the scenes video on Mumbai or Delhi airport?
You can check out my Instagram I post all about aviation
@@Ilikeplanes512 Not cool bro! you can't advertise yourself like that!
@@LivingAviation that's true
lmao you are everywhere! Captain joe! swiss! boeing boy! mentour pilot what now wow!
YES! delhi please!
Zurich Airport is one of my favourite airports in the world. Hope it will come back to life in the near future.
You nailed it. Zurich has the BEST plane-sporting environment…set against snow capped peaks. Awesome.
Sam putting the bags in the container: 'oh my god I slammed it on there'
Baggage agent: 'meh that's ok!'
😂😂😂
I threw bags for Continental 20 years ago, and yes ...people overpack I would grab a handle and it would come off in my hand.... one night I was emptying a 737, grabbed the handle, it breaks off, I rear back and hit the door and knocked myself out.... overweight bag...
Kevin Wiley oh dear!! Overweight bags 🙄
@@thomasbolam8671 well, some of those bags that bit me, ended up in cities they weren't supposed to go...
You are always so upbeat and happy. A pleasure to watch.
Aviation is my passion and makes me always upbeat and happy!
Zurich is a superb airport!
A closed terminal will be part of history.... Berlin sure has a lot of history lol.
Andrew Baumgartner Are you referring to BER?
Scott Roth TXL will be closed in a couple of weeks. Air France sent me an email that they are selling seats for the last flight from TXL to CDG. No idea if this is flying blue exclusive... Actually AF was the first airline to land at TXL in 1960... I would go, but both are now risk areas.
Meanwhile in Belgrade, Serbia, the airport security or the police will either chase you away or maybe even arrest you and keep you locked in overnight if they see you filming and taking photos of the planes anywhere around the airport. As an aviation enthusiast, that gives me one more reason to stay in love with Zürich.
Hi Sam. Thank you for keeping us in the loop. I have learned so much about travel from you and hope to put that knowledge to use some day. Its always nice to see you randomly meeting viewers along the way. God bless you and family.
It’s a pandemic but we appreciate your hard work
Thank you Sam
Amazing Vlog sam! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to flying again!
Thanks Sam for an excellent tour of one of my favourite airports👌🏻🇨🇭
the bus tour and getting to watch planes land and take off at such close range ...wow!...I can imagine the thrill and satisfaction
Is it me or the Singapore airlines A380 restaurant idea seems great for us av geeks
My mouth is watering just by you talking about it
Zurich airport is excellent for spotting aircraft, loved watching this video and lots of love to sam... 😇❤

My heart sank when I saw 'closed' and 'Zurich Airport' in the same sentence.
Excellent Review Sam Loved It Your The Best Love You You Deserve 10 Million Subscribers 😀😀😀😀
Thanks for sharing Sam, I feel like being there watching your videos.
I love airports and planes very much, I remember sometimes in the past I went to the airports for just watching the airport and planes and I'm very happy today to find some nice people like myself, thank you
This was amazing. When we are allowed to travel again, I would go to Zurich just for those observatories. Thank you for sharing that experience with us
So missing my previous trip from HongKong to Cairo and transship in Zurich during winter over 10 years ago. I remembered to take the Swiss airline and served by these nice flight attendants
This is awesome. First the observation decks and then the personal guided tour. Wish more airports had these. This is a planespotter + av geek's dream. ✈✈
Great video! Good to know there are tours available and hopefully I can make it out there some day. Thanks for bringing us along!
Sam you are amazing! Incredible topic selection.

Excelente video muy interesante ver las entrañas de un aeropuerto como el de Zurich. Gracias Sam!!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Always brings a smile on my face whenever I watch your videos Sam!
I was living right next to Zürich Airport last year, and I've missed the place so much man! Every day I used to walk up to the runway 28's end and watch planes land! Thanks for the upload!
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
Wow! The first time I watched your channel I just couldn’t stop because of the great content. Thank you for going out even through this difficult time.
ur videos never seem to bore me always fun to watch.
2020 must have been the worst for u Sam.
Been binge watching your old vids, it brings back great memories of flying and getting actual service.
Hope this madness ends soon
Thanks Sam.
This video made me smile ☺️
Amazing video!
I have been to LAX so many times, I have flown to 21 countries. USA, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Israel, Germany, UK, Hungary, Slovakia, Norway, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Thailand, Cambodia, Japan, France, Iceland, New Zealand, and Austria. All those trips started at LAX. That airport is connected to me. The first plane I ever flew was an ELAL Israel airlines, on a 777-200ER when I was 4 weeks old. It’s true. The only 747s I flew were and British airways and I got to sit in the cockpit. I’ve sat in the cockpit of so many planes you can’t even imagine. I really like your channel and I love airplanes with all my heart thanks for making this video about LAX! 😀 I flew the BA jumbo from Cape town, South Africa to London, Heathrow! 🛫✈️🛬
Please do a video on ELAL airlines!
Wow! I would visit JUST for the tour!
You are one of my inspirations to travel. Hoping for better days ahead and this pandemic to end soon so we can be back to normal again. Stay safe and looking forward to more travel videos from you.
Very interesting to see behind the scenes at an airport. Many thanks.
Hey Sam, amazing video and awesome terminal in zurich. Keep up with the good work.
What a beautiful and aducational video . Thank you SIR
Love all your videos Sam, you even work hard to provide us with some of these videos during a very challenging covid world.
Thanks for keeping up the spirit.
I really want to stand between the run ways. It's a very amazing airport. I want to see that soon! Thank, Sam for your effort recording such video during the pandemic.
Truth is you don't get to stand there for so long, only like 15 min. You have to take a bus tour which is about an hour, and 45 min you drive around they show you planes firefighters runways and so on, and then at the end you get out for those 15 min. If youre a spotter you can time that to for example catch the one a380 that takes off :) . I'm not sure if there is prolongued tours for photographers.
This was awesome Sam. 👏🏾👏🏾
This was great to see from a lockdown Dublin,Ireland 🇮🇪
And yes, Aviation will be back. Lots of love for you Sam.
You are the best aviation blogger Sam!! Another fantastic video
I appreciate the content and effort you put in your videos.👍
One of the Best video if not the best. Excellent for plane enthusiasts. Hope to take a tour one day. All the Best SAM.
You have to go to the mountains to see Edelweiss as it enjoys a higher altitude.
Awesome idea & such a positive experience to help the aviation industry
Great video and great efforts by you..:)
Thanks for all the effort you put into these videos.
Really enjoyed this video, thank u for sharing this during lock down. 👍
Very much enjoyed this video!
I was on a Swiss flight in 2018 that was delayed 4 hours on top of a planned 3 hour layover. We spent all 7/8 hours in Concourse E on the way from Rome (FCO) to New York (EWR). It was a late flight, but I've never seen that terminal as empty as it was in your video. I miss flying and hope we can travel again soon, I'll never complain about being stuck in Terminal E of Zurich for 7 hours ever again.
Thanks for the video, Sam. Unreal to see terminals so quiet that used to be a hive of activity!
“Oh no I slammed the bag” funniest part! Love your videos
Now this is a great video vlog, Sam.
U gotta love Zürich Airport🇨🇭😍
Awe, seeing Swissport across the pond makes me happy :) great vid Sam !
Come to Heathrow as both Terminal 3 and 4 are completely closed and not used at the moment
Same here in Phoenix Sky Harbor, closed 2 terminals. Very weird not seeing a line for security now.
Great video
I love your choices for the background music sam!
Thanks Sam! The observation deck was awesome!
