I also need to get to BCN from LPA which will be yet another separate ticket... so lots of different reservations and no hotel stay on the long outbound (LPA-BCN-ZRH-SIN-SYD).
Thanks for the tip about the business lounge in E - I take it it has some outdoor seating since you mentioned summer?

I'd love to pop into ZRH too but I'll leave that for the inbound journey where I'm certain to have a morning arrival.
Ah, you mean the LX part would be on single ticket. I thought SIN-SYD was on the same ticket but a separate PNR. That sometimes happen when partner airlines use different systems in the background.
Yes, among other things E lounges have terraces, which is part of what makes them really nice. Views are great also from the inside though. Lots of natural light.
I can see about morning arrival, but personally I'd rather go after a local flight, so as not to risk being jetlagged to hell after arrival from Asia.
