much better view and nicer offerings than the LX lounge and is only some 100
steps further.
If you purchased the tix separately, check out the swiss.com homepage - these
days they offer D/Z fares ex. ZRH for dirt cheap prices when loads are low.
It might be worth for you to upgrade 'manually'.
Recently got ZRH-LON return in Z for <US$250.

Same crappy seats in C as in Y on LX but much nicer force-feeding.
