So war mein Reisepass bereits einmal beim Betreten des D-Gates überprüftda ich natürlich eine Nicht-EU- und Nicht-Schengen-Zone besuche. Jetzt, während ich vor meinem Gate warte, wartet dort eine weitere Passkontrolle, und was noch seltsamer ist, ist, dass es kein Schild oder irgendetwas gibt, das darauf hinweist, dass dies erforderlich ist. Sie stehen einfach seltsam da und ich war darüber so verwirrt. Sie bleiben dort für fast jedes D-Gate und jedes Nicht-EU-Land außerhalb des Schengen-Raums. Was ist das?

Ich habe einen dieser Leute gefragt, sie sagten nur, dass es eine Anforderung der Fluggesellschaften sei und machten keine zusätzlichen Informationen.

  1. Sometimes the airlines also need to check your entry eligibility, eg. if you have the right visa and such. That happens at gate

  2. The first check is the swiss government checking your ID as you leave Schengen.

    The second check is your airline, they do it because they are on the hook for your deportation costs if the receiving country won’t let you in (terms and conditions apply, it is complicated, the receiving country might also mandate it).

    This is actually a requirement of the country you are entering. Every flight from the Schengen area to London do this because the UK mandate they do this. It’s to check the ticket name against the passport. This is absolutely nothing to do with Switzerland or Zurich airport.

    It must be an airline thing.
    Swiss does a second check for flights to Ireland whereas Aer Lingus doesn’t.

  5. It’s US regulations. Been like that for a long time. United flights do it at check in I think (at least for business). Sometimes there are people after the boarding gates before you hit the plane.

    Edit — missed it was London flight. It’s country you traveling to regulation. It’s specific questions you have to be asked / answered to be allowed to board. And hitting immigration the other end.

    The US does the same at ZRH, there are US border patrol agents near the gate doing additional checks before you‘re allowed to wait for your flight.

    It’s an UK requirement, same I have to do when flying to Birmingham.

    You better not upload photos of people as long you don’t have their consent. It’s illegal.

    To your question: Some countries (UK, US etc.) require pre checks.

    I don’t get the paranoia of people when they get required ID/passport in such places as immigration control areas. It is not a random guy in Bahnhofstrasse asking for IDs.

  10. I think they have done this on every international flight I have taken in the last 10 years or so.
