From Zurich Flughafen/Airport:

There are no direct trains between the station at Zurich Flughafen/Airport and Luzern

You will have to change trains at Zurich HB station.

Making the transfer will be much easier if you take a train from Zurich Flughafen to Zurich HB which uses the same part of Zurich HB station (platforms/tracks/gleis 3 - 18) that the trains on to Luzern will depart from.

So when taking a train from the airport target either;
(i) the trains on route S24 heading to Zug - every 30 mins
(ii) the IR train that terminates at Zurich HB - 1 x train per hour on route IR 75
(iii) the IR train to Basel via Lenzburg (route IR 37) and NOT the trains via  Brugg - 1 x train per hour
