Nice Airport--How much time-arrival- customs- baggage ?
 
Arriving in Nice at 10:00 am from ZURICH/SwissAir. Estimated time to get thru
customs & get baggage and be out the door WAITING for the BUS # 98 into Nice.
Many thanks to those who have flown into Nice Airport & can give input !

I doubt that you will have any customs, which usually is just a walk through even when coming from the U.S., or passport control coming from Switzerland.

Meant to say passport control...flight originates in USA-& continues on via a plane change in
Zurich. Know how long to allow at CDG......but how much time to allow in Nice --smaller airport etc. ?

I suspect that you will be going through passport control in Zurich.

Yes, passport control will be in Zurich - have you allowed enough time for it there? Zurich to Nice is a domestic fight and there is no passport control or customs.

If this helps at all, Nice is a tiny airport. It really shouldn't take long to pick up your bags. The center of town is only about 15 minutes away. If you miss the bus, you can easily grab a taxi out front and be at your hotel within half an hour.

It doesn't really matter unless you are just curious, that bus leaves all the time, about every 20 minutes.

Thanks all....just verified with SwissAir....passport control is in Zurich.....all is well !
First time in MANY MANY years...we are not flying non-stop.....so, was not " thinking ".
H'mmm ...pre-JetLag brain working ??!!!
