New Oneworld lounge at ZRH
A new dedicated Oneworld lounge will open at Zurich Airport. The lounge is opposite the Dnata and to the right from the Skyteam lounge. It is on the airside, after security control but before passport control and the train to E gates.
The lounge is already visible through the glass front, though there is still work going on inside. I talked to some (non-oneworld) airport staff and they said it should open on 1 March 2013.

Classified on http://www.oneworld.com/ffp/lounge-access/ as a third-party lounge, though.

Sitting in the new lounge at the moment...
I'm currently awaiting my BA flight to London and I have to say the lounge is great and I am really pleased that oneworld has finally joined the other alliances in providing a lounge facility for it's members. Looking forward to seeing more around the world soon.
Wifi is still provided by the airport, and I have been told that you can extend beyond the normal 60min limit, with a voucher (provided).
Nice selection of hot and cold food too!

New Oneworld lounge at ZRH
Sitting in the lounge now. The oneworld placard outside the door has RJ's logo there. The BA logo has been taped out in the dnata lounge but AA and RJ are still on the dnata plaque.
Lounge is new but sterile. No tarmac views - windows overlook check-in 2. They are keeping the temperature very warm...

Is the lounge located where passengers traveling to Schengen and non-Schengen destinations can both use the lounge?
If I am arriving on AA and connecting to AB, will I first clear passport control and then access the lounge?

So PAX making a non-Schengen to non-Schengen (I-I) connection will not be able to use the lounge (unless passing through passport control)?
