One time (January 07) I was in the bar area, where a group of passengers were waiting for the elevator. They boarded and the elevator went down to level one where a couple with a buggy and two childs tried to board the elevatror. But there was no space left (and the elevator is not that small) for additional four persons and buggy so they had to wait. The elevator went down and after a minutes up again. But this time the person in it wanted to reach level two, so they had to wait another going minutes.
They seems to be annoyed by this procedure and as far as I noticed complaint about it by the agent serving the front desk.

Okay, been there about twice a month in the past 2 years, but never experienced this so far. Thanks for the update.
Anyway, it is not that easy to put everything on same level everywhere. There are usually building constraints in place, which is as you say true for many airports around.
I assume, the Swiss lounge became more loads, since the LH takeover. So the one-elevator-only problem is probably a newer problem.
