Do I need to go through passport control at Zurich or only go through Security check?
Best Answer
Because you are entering the Schengen area in Zurich, you will go through passport control here. But you will not go through customs.
As soon as you pass through passport controls in Zurich, you will be at the Skymetro. Take it over to your departure terminal (e.g. A/B), visit your airline's check in desk if you don't already have your boarding pass for Copenhagen, then go through security check and to your departure gate.
You will claim your checked baggage and pass through Customs in Copenhagen. You will not need to claim baggage in Zurich.
