Are the LX Helvetica Embraers always from a remote stand at ZRH?

I'm traveling ZRH-MUC (J) -LAX(F) next year, starting with the LX 1102. I'm hoping it's remote and I'd get the limo from FCL-A (and a corresponding car from the plane to the FCL satellite in MUC on arrival there).

This happened to me on a LH(CL) CRJ a few months ago, which was lovely! Would be something to look forward to - icing on the cake I guess. The only downside of this trip is that I only have 1h40 connection to enjoy MUC.

Mostly they are remote, occasionally they are at gate, for example, this afternoon CPH and DUS.

Morning LX to MUC, that is 1100, has last departed from the gate on Nov 25th, but it's hard to predict how the exact timing of the flight will impact the chances (logically, LX mainline get priority for gates when around, but if they are mostly away, Helvetic might get one)

Looks like that was gate B41, looking at flightaware.

Are the remote gates A1-A6 and A50-A59 ? And B1-B10 ?

(Sorry if I'm polluting the ZRH FCL thread with tangential questions. Moderator: please feel free to move these posts elsewhere.)

I would suggest staying in E.

You can read my experience in post #525 if you scroll up.

From SIN you should even avoid transit security.

You will be met by the F arrival service, just tell them you want to stay in E & go to the FCL, then just follow the signs directly to the lounge, SIN arrivals do not need transit security, there are a lot of arrivals at that time however FCL E is usually quiet, the Hotel rooms are on a first come basis there are only 2.

My flight "landed" at 06:09 and I was probably in the lounge by 06:25.

Arrived from SIN end-October on a Sunday morning. Landed at 06:09. After declining the F arrival service, without transfer security to the E departure area and then the lift to FCL E. We were probably the first ones that day in FCL E, so both day rooms would have been available.

Opening my 2025 season at ZRH FCL E (not counting a brief visit to the BER J lounge earlier this morning).

Happy New Year!
