The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.
Easy to get wrong
There is no separately branded airport express the way Vienna has City Airport Train: the airport's own site confirms this is simply ordinary SBB InterCity, InterRegio and S-Bahn service stopping at Zurich Airport station on its way through, not a dedicated product with its own fleet or fare.

Hours
The airport's own page states trains depart for Zürich Hauptbahnhof every 10 minutes and the trip takes 15 minutes; independent aggregator snapshots show the fastest individual services covering it in as little as 9-11 minutes, so a traveller checking a journey planner may see a shorter figure than the airport's own headline number.

Tickets
This trip crosses from ZVV zone 121 (airport) into zone 110 (city), so a same-zone city ticket is not valid - ZVV's own fare page confirms price is set by zone count but did not publish one fixed number here; third-party listings put the 2nd-class adult fare at roughly CHF 7.00-7.20, not confirmed to the cent from ZVV's own price list.
