Gate E-side electronics stop with Swiss-brand Microlino flair
Inside Terminal E after security, Micro / Microlino sits among the non-Schengen long-haul gates, handy if you’re flying Swiss or a partner out of E around the 10:00–22:00 bank. It’s a small electronics shop with an extra twist: Micro’s own scooters and Microlino merch share shelf space with travel tech. Think last‑minute gear before a US or Asia departure from E-gates 21–67.
You’ll find the usual airport staples: power banks, USB-C cables, EU-to-UK/US adapters, and over-ear headphones, generally in the CHF 20–80 range. Stock skews brand-name rather than gas-station cheap, so expect to pay a bit more than downtown Zurich, but not wildly out of line for Terminal E. If your airline’s A330 seat has only a single outlet, a compact multi-port charger here can save a fight over sockets.
Micro / Microlino also leans into its Swiss roots with branded accessories and miniatures tied to the Microlino microcar and Micro kick scooters, mostly in the CHF 15–60 band. Kids’ items near the counter double as emergency entertainment on a 12-hour flight from E to LAX or HKG. This is not a full gadget showcase; think practical travel fixes plus some quirky souvenirs, not laptops or camera bodies.
Cards and contactless payments work, and staff switch between German and English without blinking, which helps if you’re tight on time before a 19:00 long-haul. One tip: if you already cleared shopping in A or B/D, wait and buy cables or adapters here so you’re not hauling extra bags across the Skymetro to E.
