While on approach to Zürich a flight attendant noticed a “Burning Smell” in the cabin. The crew were alerted. While there was no smoke areas were hotter than usual and the smell of burning was present throughout the cabin. The smell was also noted on the cockpit. The F/O would contact ATC about the situation. As light smoke began to enter the cockpit the crew decided to don their oxygen masks. The crew would land safely and the passengers would disembark at their normal stand.
