Frankfurt Airport International is the second largest airport in Europe (London Heathrow Airport is the largest airport in the United Kingdom). We don’t recommend you to fly to Switzerland by plane. Although one-way flights only lasts 50 minutes, it costs much money.

We are not sure that it’s a good idea. A little bit decent car (eg, Opel Meriva) is more expensive than in the U.S., but if you want to rent it out in Switzerland, you will have to pay again. Plus petrol charges, plus the chance to get into a traffic jam on the highway (I saw it with my own eyes). I definitely recommend you as the best way from Zurich to Frankfurt is to take the train Frankfurt Zurich.  Train from Frankfurt to Zurich is not too cheap, but you can choose a good time for you.

Trains from Frankfurt am Main to Zurich depart from the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof so I arrived there in advance to look at the second largest terminal in Germany. Station is really beautiful, and I enjoyed the "Glühwein" hot spiced wine that did start my journey even more enjoyable.

The train Frankfurt Zurich came in 25 minutes before departure. I got into the second class carriage. Except me, there was only five people. Then I put the suitcase on the top and began reading the "Memoirs" by Francois de La Rochefoucauld. During my trip from Frankfurt to Zurich, I enjoyed the views of Germany and Switzerland and twice went into the bistro, where you can order sandwiches and drinks.
