There are 3 lounges right next to each other upstairs in ZRH at B/D gates. On the left is Skyteam/Delta (I think). In the middle is the AF one. On the right is what BA/IB use. I think Aspire refers to the one that AF uses. Or it could refer to both, I don't know. And for some odd reason, Finnair usually uses the AF lounge, instead of the BA/IB one. But for some reason, like last time, I was directed to the larger and better lounge that BA/IB use with my AY flight. Usually AY uses the AF lounge which is smaller and crummier.

I only know two lounges there.

Aspire (the larger one, to the right) is used by BA, IB, AY and others. I think there is a second area (middle, next to the restrooms) which is used when it is very busy as overflow area.

Dnata (left) is used by AF, KL, AZ, BT and others. I haven‘t seen a third one there. I‘ll pay more attention next time (23/8).

Sorte, Hope you also will have a good day in London! Come and say hi to us on Aug 25, we will be a slightly noisy bunch, probably having a sauna in the morning in the Premium Lounge and some gin and dinner at QF and CX F-lounges in the evening.

This might not be the right forum, as it appears this is a August meetup, but I will be up for One Night in HEL November 17th. Anyone else interested, let me know.

Looks like I’m up for it! If it’s just us, I want to hear about the CX F redemptions.

I'm in, too. I often daydream about CX F redemptions so it doesn't have to be only you two's secret little topic if you don't mind.
