Yes, I enjoyed Zurich lounge recently, good food selection, simple but tasty spag Bol and i remember the desserts being good. One the better Euro lounges I've visited.

Yesterday BA announced a new lounge at ZRH for BA (and oneworld) passengers
- Wine Corner serving fine wines
- Latest-generation Sony with complimentary Wi-Fi connection
- Work facilities including printer, scanner and copier
- Comfortable seating for 100 customers
- Top design furnishings in the finest new fabrics
- Three large walls of art to create an inspiring atmosphere
One observation - even in this new lounge there's only 1 hour of free wifi on offer by way of a voucher from the front desk. They will not give you a second voucher even if your flight is delayed. There is no warning on the voucher that it is only for an hour (nor any warning that I could see whilst online) so make sure you save any work you are doing online. A very disappointing policy for a new lounge.
Even more bizarre is that the Sony tablets give you unlimited online time but only, it would seem, for browsing. I couldn't get it to bring up a keyboard for entering text on a web page (such as Flyertalk) or entering data on the BA website (to make a complaint about the lack of wifi without limits in the ZRH lounge).

The CPH Apartment lounge is only for oneworld Emeralds, I believe.
CE and oneworld Sapphire definitely doesn't grant access - I am currently in the really rather poor Novia lounge. There's a reasonable view of the taxiway, but food selection looks Baxter-Storey like (), and it's rather crowded.

(I'm not clear what the * means in your post, considering we're not talking about Star Alliance, but oneworld.)

Yes, exactly. Can confirm that being BA Silver and flying mostly AirBerlin was always at CPH Apartment since it got agreement with OneWorld. Your experience seems as summer-employee who not learned yet all variety of cards... Like last time I was told that "Silver cards do not grant access to lounges!" at the same place. Luckily supervisor was not so far...

One update and one non-update, not in that order: I'm currently sat in GOT where the lounge is precisely as described above (except that the dishwasher is packed up so it's all disposables today).
DUB needs to be updated as the temporary lounge in pier B is finished and it's back to where the old BD lounge used to be, except with DAA's service standards.

Champagne is now free at Finnair non-Schengen lounge. Sparkling wine is offered at the Schengen and non-Schengen lounges (N.B. Schengen-lounge is now used by some BA customers after introducing many BA-coded flights after introducing the joint North America flights to Europe AY/IB/AA/BA.)

Just a quick update on FRA:
My 915 flight back tonight is delayed, so I've gone on a tour of the lounges and the Cathay pacific lounge is open still at 8pm local time.
The CX lounge is much quieter (only 4 people here) and has slightly better food. JL was packed because their Tokyo flight is just about to leave.

Have to say I was quite underwhelmed by the JAL F lounge here in FRA.

Refused access at CPH Apartment this week, told it's got Golds and business class only. I was in CE and Silver.
It's also not a Priority Pass lounge, so can this be updated on the lounge page?
