Hi, I currently have a 2.5 hour connection in ZRH, arriving on LX 39 from SFO and connecting to LX 644 to SFO. I could move my CDG leg to an earlier flight, which would give me exactly 60 minutes for the connection. I'm *G and will be flying in business.

1) Any thoughts on the two options from ZRH regulars? On one hand, I don't mind a more leisurely connection and hanging out in the lounge between flights, but I also wouldn't mind getting to CDG earlier so I could have a nice dinner.

2) Assuming I just have hand luggage, if I keep my current flight, could I easily stand by for the earlier flight? Or would a better strategy be to book the earlier flight, with the assumption that LX would just put me on the later one if I missed the connection.
