Gate E shops thin out fast; Sunrise in Terminal E covers last-minute electronics.
This Sunrise sits airside in Terminal E, handy if you’re flying long-haul from the satellite gates. It’s a compact Swiss telecom and electronics shop, so think phones, SIMs, headphones, and chargers more than laptops or cameras. The store is inside the non-Schengen E concourse, so you need an E boarding pass to reach it.
Prices run higher than downtown Zurich: expect basic USB-C or Lightning cables around CHF 15–25 and mid-range wired earphones in the CHF 30–60 range. You’ll also see Swiss prepaid SIM cards valid across Europe, typically starting near CHF 20 with some data included. Staff handle Sunrise mobile plans too, but that takes longer than a quick accessory grab.
Opening hours in E usually track long-haul bank times, roughly from early morning departures through late evening waves, but the exact schedule can shift with seasonal traffic. If you land into A or B/D and connect out of E, you’ll hit this shop after the underground Skymetro ride to the satellite. Figure at least 15 minutes from main security in A/B to walking through the E retail strip.
Big win here: real Swiss plugs and EU adaptors in stock at the gate, so you can fix a forgotten adapter before boarding. Power banks show up in multiple capacities, often from recognizable brands, though at typical airport markups. Last quick tip: if you just need a cable, grab it here in E rather than hunting back in A/B and risking a longer walk to your gate.
