palmanfr I missed you this morning. I used slightly different tactics.

From the train station I kept right to Check-in of KLM, went Via Priority Check-in up the escalators to a very empty elite security 2.

As reported previously, my Schengen boarding pass to ZRH was rejected with a wrong area message. I waived at a queue manager who was dealing with the crowd at the far end. With a friendly smile I explained my plans, mentioning KLM sending me up. After a few heavy exchanges on the radio to get authorization, she barked at KLM for not escorting us up to security to tell them about letting us in, before she finally let us in.

Customs had no questions.

From there, I stayed on the top level, walked past transit security in the upstairs passage way to E / F, and took the escalators right down to the crown lounge excavator.

I was also pleasently surprised with the offering, sfeter last week's reports.

On the way back my friend was a bit nervous about a 29 minute walk announced by the departure board to get back to B18 so he left earlier. Also to have a webmeeting from the gate. He found a huge queue to get over to Schengen side, and shocon sign was 10 minutes away from showing our flight. Funny enough I left the lounge 15 minutes later, asked for the short connection and passed him Again customs, or rather Marrechaussee, had no questions. Poor American lady next to me however different story, papers and all. My friend had his meeting walking. Long enough walk.

It was a bit of a hike but not all that bad. Quite doable. Still would be better to have Schengen lounge reopening soon.

Thanks for the picture report. Nice you took the time, I did not really... So thanks for that.
