I have the 16-35 f/2.8 Mk II lens, yes.
Nice! Looking forward to seeing more of your shots.

Swiss Airlines First Class Lounge Terminal E

I reserved a dayroom for usage. There are two dayrooms available. One is named "Lucerne" and the other "St. Moritz".


Each is extremely well appointed, besting many luxury hotels. Easily outclassing the nap rooms in the FCT.




The room offers an amazing view of the runway too. Just don't forget to draw the blinds in case someone walks by on the terrace outside.




An Omega clock in the dayroom (!!)


No liquid soap here, Lufthansa.

Wow. Impressive Day Rooms. Is there a time limit on them or other requirements?

Those dayrooms look fantastic.
Do you get a guaranteed car transfer to the plane from the Terminal E F lounge?

There was no time limit, although I suspect there may be one if usage of the Terminal E lounges increases. During my time there, I was the only person in the lounge for several hours. The Terminal E lounge is quite removed from the Terminal A lounges.

Unfortunately not. I had to hump it on foot back to Terminal A where my flight was departing. Perhaps there are transfers for HON members, but you'll have to inquire over on the LX forum.

So if you fly LH F to FRA/MUC, connect to ZRH in C, then have an onward connection in C...you have access to FCL in ZRH? Or were you connecting to a flight in F?

Wonderful pictures!!

MatthewLAX, the Swiss Airlines ZRH Lounge page reads that access is granted for Lufthansa First passengers.

https://www.swiss.com/CH/EN/fly/airport/lounges-zurich

I flew ORD-FRA-ZRH-ATH, with a same-day arrival in LH-F as my FRA-ZRH-ATH segments, and was granted access. It's my understanding that there's no requirement for the MUC/FRA-ZRH or ZRH-onwards flights to be in C; the most important factor is the LH F boarding pass. However I decided that wasn't a risk I was willing to take so I flew my connecting flights in C.

After enjoying the dayroom, I went to explore the rest of the lounge.

In a word, gorgeous. Although it lacks the size of the FCT, it felt more intimate and inviting.


Semi-private lounge areas, each with a flat screen TV.


Giant wine bar/display by foyer.




Dining area




Novelty telescope for runway observations.


Giant outdoor terrace


Nifty Leica binoculars on the terrace


After the lounge exploration, I sat down for one of my most impressive culinary lounge experiences to date....

Dinner is served!














I actually ordered all 3 desserts, but the chef ended up combining them all onto a single platter.

Wow. That looks amazing.

Did you eat on the plane again after that?

I was surprisingly still hungry a few hours later on the plane.
