Similar distance to Munich from FMO. Ryanair no longer offer this route, so maybe Memmingen is the new Zurich west. Similar distance to Munich from FMO.

I think this route is more worth doing if you are going to visit the Zeppelin field in Friedrichshafen, and then proceed towards Zurich.

It's certainly cheap - my flight with Ryanair was 5 EUR one way, 15 EUR the other (plus taxes of course). However, it was a long journey. I tried to do it all by train, but couldn't make it quite work - the last flight back on a Sunday night to Friedrichshafen doesn't allow you time to get the last train back to Zurich (I was leaving Saturday morning from Zurich, returning Sunday night). For a 1 or 2 night stayover, it's a lot of train time. Check out www.sbb.ch/en to try your routes out. I’ve done a trip from Zurich to Stanstead, flying via Friedrichshafen.
