Any suggestions/ hints or tips for the day welcomed.
There's a place in Terminal 4 that provides this service. However the best bet would be to have the agent who checks you in for CX to interline your bag to Swiss. While you'll need to carry it through customs, you can then simply drop it at the bag recheck belt. No need to see an agent.
