Hi everyone !

Until last year, Swiss flights were departing from terminal 2 hall B, were a Swiss lounge was available.

Now, Swiss flights are located in the "Star Alliance terminal", terminal 1. The departure gates are located in the satellite 6 or 7.

For a Swiss flight, Business, HON, SEN, FTL passengers have acces to the Star Alliance lounge, located in the non-Schengen area, level 11. You have to proceed to the immigration to access and leave the lounge, located far from the gate and you have to proceed to the security control before the satellite. I find that really not easy.

When departing from the Lufthansa satellite (number 6), the Lufthansa lounge, located inside the security aera of the satellite. The lounge has been renovated last year and is very pleasant with a good restauration offer.

On the satellite 7, now inside the security aera, is located a SAS lounge with the mention "Star Alliance Gold". Even if the lounge looks small, his use will be easier.

My question is : is it possible to use the SAS lounge when flying Swiss departing from satellite 7 ? At the check in I always become the invitation for the Star Alliance lounge and nobody informe me about the possibility to use the SAS lounge...

I hope that in the future, all the Swiss flight will be leaving from the LH satellite 6, really more pleasant that the 7...

I have used the SAS Lounge three weeks ago when departing on the LX flight. Just show your BP and FF card. It's not a very nice lounge though (it's CDG, so I guess you can't expect anything nice )

Nice nickname... about a beautiful mountain !!

Thank you for this information.
As the entry is after the security check, with very long waiting time, i wouldn't take the risk... Probably only possible for HON and SEN and not for C-pax and FTL...
You know, i has 2 weeks ago in the *A lounge. The place is not to bad, but the catering very light !!

Yes... But the LH lounge is pleasant, even if it's in the level -1 without any window. After proceding the security check, the Lufthansa satellite is not to bad ! Perhaps after the LH lines cutting from CDG can Swiss fly everytime from there !

Just another question : some LH flights are leaving from the satellite 7. It's EW or CL canadair during the morning rush at 9AM (and perhaps on the evening). HON/SEN have access to the SAS lounge, but FTL and C-pax ? Can they use the *A or the SAS lounge ?

Despite the hard to reach location I very much like the Star lounge.

It has been almost empty, quiet and very civilized every time I have been there.
Very nice atmosphere, tasty snacks, some drinks.

VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE: the small (but lovely) open air japanese garden!

Essential for smokers or for anyone who wants to breathe some fresh air for a while and not the conditioned air of the airport.^

Sometimes the lines at the passport control are not so long...

My flight to ZRH left from satellite 6 and I got an invitation for the Star alliance lounge also with explanation I had to pass immigration and so on. I went directly to satellite 6 and entered the Lufthansa lounge instead. The lounge dragon remarked I was flying Swiss and wished me a nice flight. So no problem.
It is a nice lounge and relaxing since it's after security check so you can stay in the lounge until the last boarding call.

I'm in the SAS lounge now, using the free WiFi ^ and soon to board my LX flight which is right next door.

They have space, decent food and two large screen Mac's. Not bad.

Do you still have to go thru immigration twice to get to the Star alliance lounge?
Any better options?

San Gottardo

Yes, you would have to go through immigration twice to use the Star Alliance lounge. But you wouldn't do that anyway. You would simply use the Lufthansa Lounge if the flight leaves from gates 60-68 or the SAS lounge if the flight leaves from gates 70-78

There is a hotel close to the airport, walking distance where they rent rooms at day rates. Good to take a shower there, I think its the IBIS.

There's also the Sheraton which is located inside CDG T2.
