Checked bag transfer at Zurich

Upvote:3

If both flights are on the same ticket, then the airline thinks it’s enough.

You will have to go through immigration (passport control), and in the meantime your checked luggage will be transferred to the onward flight.

In normal circumstances (I.e. no delay on the first flight), this should be enough time.

If there are any delays, it’s possible that either you and/or your bags will miss the flight and will take the next one (the airline will rebook you on the next available flight). If you make the flight but not your bags you will have the option of either waiting for your bags in Milan or have them delivered to your hotel or other place you will be staying, though that can take a few hours or even happen on the next day. In any case get in touch with the airline’s luggage services before leaving the baggage claim area if there’s any issue.

If the flights are on separate tickets, it’s virtually impossible: you would need to go through immigration, claim your bags, go through customs, go the departures area and check-in or drop bags for your next flight before that flight’s check-in deadline. Not going to happen.
