The architecture of the new ZRH airside center is impressive and well designed - one could believe to be in some Australian airport if there would not be the downturn of the food and drink outlets....

The bar counters in the open public area are smoke infested !! and Unique lost a great opportunity to ban smoking from all open spaces of Zurich airport. I wonder how the staff can accept working at these bars being constantly victim of cigarette smoke poisoning. It is a shame that Switzerland will be among the last countries tackling the cigarette smoking problem (I am Swiss ) which has beconme socially unacceptable elsewhere.

The air in the airside center is in consequence stale and I am heading to the new Swiss lounge... read further in the Swiss Travel Club forum....
