Is this feasible, both timing wise as process wise (leaving the non-schengen zone to come back later)?
So that's about 6 hours total (best case) from deplaning to start of boarding?
If to count about one hour each way to city center and back, you are left with maximum four hours of "idle time". From those, are about two hours in the lounge and about two hours in the city enough for you? So from around 1500 to around 1700 in the lounge, 17-18 travelling to the city, 18-20 in the city and 20-21 travelling back, clearing security and heading straight to boarding gate?
