Anyway, I’ve got a 2+ hour layover in GVA. A couple of questions

1.) what is the international to domestic connection process?

2.) I’m in Polaris on IAD to GVA and biz on the Swiss flight, GVA to ZRH - suggestion on a lounge?
You'll of course enter Schengen at GVA, then connect. It's not a large airport, and it's not typically very busy. I believe only lounge option (without some access means other than ticket) is the LX one; it's small and nothing special, but it's serviceable — espresso, muesli, eggs, etc.
