ZRH - shower?
 

Making 2 quick runs to ZRH for March madness. Looks like there is a shower in LH's F-lounge and not C-lounge.... :(

Is Loungeguide.net correct? If I can't sweet talk my way over to F-section, is there any pay shower available in ZRH airport?

Thanks!

Despite one FlyerTalker's ever so generous post with useful information (which I've deleted, if you can note the sarcasm), I'm going to move this to the Europe forum. It's really not related to Mileage Run, even though it's about an airport you'll be in during a MR. And there's no forum specifically for Switzerland, and it really doesn't qualify as a LH thread.

Hopefully some of the Europeans can help here.

There is a lounge you can pay to enter and it has showers.

"Only shower facilities (without room) Towel, soap, shampoo, body lotion included CHF 10.– "

That's probably the cheaper option than paying for lounge access which includes shower facilities.

"Shower facilities are also available. You can find us in the transit area at the end of Dock A, close to Gates 80-89."

That is the 10 Swiss francs option.

The ZRH Star Alliance lounge has a shower just outside of the lounge in the hallway. The reception desk has the key, and IME it is not just for guests in the "First Class" side. Also, the lounge is not close to the UA gate at all.

Right - a different terminal. How much time do you have in the turnaround?

There is only one shower so watch there isnt a queue.

Looking at your UA and AA Status you should be able to use the LX Arrivals Lounge for free (otherwise you can pay). Do a search in the LX Forum and you will learn everything that is to be known about its facilities.

LX arrivals lounge is only for pax arriving on LX - I think the OP is arriving on UA so wont be able to use it.

Well, things might change very fast - especially for *G. And there is still the option of paying for entering. The showers are very nice and last time I used themin January one of the LX's old F Amenity Kits was waiting for me in the shower :-)

If you perform a search in FlyerTalk's SWISS forum on the word "Allegra", you will find a wealth of information on the lounge.

I'm not sure of the status of LX being merged into LH, but you very well may have rights to use the Allegra lounge (if travelling in a premium cabin and/or if you're a top-tier elite). Otherwise, as mentioned, there's a cash payment optioin.

One nice thing is, when you are finished, the lounge staff will escort you back into the airside portion of the terminal.

Thanks everyone! They also had a "shower available" sign on the counter when you checked in at Star Alliance lounge.

The shower room has hair dryer, towel and shampoo. The down side is no toilet, body soap and water temp is not constant.....I think it gets cold everytime someone flash a toilet next door. :(

Yeap, it was a hike back to UA gate.

No problem with water temp today. Maybe they fixed it after reading my post from last week. ;)
