petlover:
helvetic air (helvetic.com), Switzerland's "low-cost" carrier (LOL!!) offers one way tickets at about 240 Swiss Francs.
From Basel, 50 miles west of Zurich, easyjet (easyjet.com) offers one-way tickets to Rome Ciampino starting at about 49 Swiss Francs.
Hope this helps

The flight between Basel and Rome does not start until June 24. The price depends heavily on the date you want to fly and how much in advance you buy your ticket.
EasyJet pulled out of Zürich in October because of high gate fees.

You can get the price at www.sbb.ch
You have to go as far as asking to buy the ticket to see the prices.
there is a stop on the bus route on the way to the airport called Brausebad.
I guess the Swiss see no real humor in it, but the word translates literally as shower bath.

While I'm glad to see that there are answers here, any question like this ought to get some mention of www.whichbudget.com where answers will (almost) always be found.
Best wishes,

Helvetic air is too expensive. Have a look at Air Berlin: http://www.airberlin.com/

There is an airline, Esay Jet, which connects many European cities at very low prices. All the young people use it; it's kind of Europe's answer to Jet Blue. My daughter used it last summer quite cheaply. It is well regarded with a good safety record.
Good luck.
