    Has anyone ever flown from Basel airport?

    Just wondering how you get to the airport from the SNCF train station in Basel? (don't think that's the main train station)

    There seems to be loads of info on the airports website.

    I think Basel "shares" its airport with Mulhouse in France so it's on the French side of the border officially if I'm not mistaken.

    Think there are parts of it in Germany, France and Switzerland

    Can I cross the border between France and Switzerland inside the airport without a ticket?
    Yes, you can cross the border between France and Switzerland inside the airport terminal, even if you have no ticket. You just need a valid passport or identity card. The cross-over point is situated at Departure level (level 3) and is open from 4.00 am until 30 minutes after the last arrival (approx. 00.30am).

    However, there is no possibility to cross the border between the carparks.

    It is an unusual airport to say the least.

    Just wondering can you get duty free booze and fags flying from here to Ireland as it's outside the EU?

    I flew to and from here a few years back. I was going to Germany but had to exit the airport into either France or Switzerland. Slightly bizzare.

    I exited into the wrong country and had to go back in to the terminal to get into France. So I could get to Germany... lol
