I flew via ZRH in 2011 on J (BKK-ZRH-YUL) and remembered it okay, besides the so-so lounge
This time, after getting off YUL-ZRH at E-wing, had to pass through security first, long walk/elevators to underground train, more elevators up, Passport control into Terminal A
Terminal A lounge (little breakfast selections, sigh), then more elevators AND shuttle bus to the tarmac, in the rain, onto Avro RJ-100 to MXP, where we get bus'ed into MXP again, waiting forever for our "gate-checked carry-on".
Oh man.. I thought Gate check in N.A. was bad, or not children friendly, etc...
My return was MXP-FRA-YYZ, and I'll be able to compare then
your previous BKK-ZRH-YUL didn't have security because you didnt enter Schengen zone at all (you stayed int'l zone). but YUL-ZRH-MXP meant ZRH was your first port of entry into Schengen Zone. dont judge so quickly without all the facts.
