About this airline
About
Swiss carrier Helvetic's fares only traipse into budget territory on occasion. The airline flies from Zurich to destinations in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Macedonia, Hungary and Tunisia; one route (between Geneva and Monastir) supplements the route map. Like Flybaboo, another Swiss "budget" airline, Helvetic is a small airline with a limited route map that isn't by rights a low-cost carrier. We include it here because some of its fares sometimes dip into low-cost territory.
Upside
Some interesting destinations are served out of Zurich and Geneva. Flights are generally on time.
Downside
Not really a low-cost airline.
Baggage
* Carry-on: Up to 5 kg of hand luggage
* Checked: Up to 20 kg of luggage; fee of €5 per kilo applies if over limit.
* Please visit Helvetic’s website for more information on its baggage policy.
