Yes, it's listed here:
https://global.americanexpress.com/c...erms/centurion
Scroll down to '"Arrival and Departure Services". It lists Zurich (ZRH) as an eligible airport but doesn't say who provides the service.

The Switzerland Centurion Card has a 10x (one way) per year benefit to use the VIP Services at either ZRH or GVA.
It’s the full use of lounge, private security and immigration, limousine to/from aircraft. The flights must be booked through Centurion travel service and so award flights are ineligible.

Question re. lounge access, will fly GRU-ZRH in LX F and then on a separate ticket ZRH-MUC-MAD.
I know I will be able to access the F lounge in ZRH but can I also access the F lounge in MUC on the basis of having arrived on an LX F flight the same day or only SEN lounge?

Follow-up question, I assume if I were to book the direct flight with IB or UX as LX is full that day I could still access the FCL on the basis of my arriving flight and just wait for the departure of my other flight there right?

Just use your F arrival BP for entry, any other separate tickets are not relevant.

I’ve had an issue with flying JFK-GVA-ZRH on a single ticket; the LD at ZRH has been difficult saying I had to use the SEN lounge but after some time was able to access using my JFK-GVA BP
initially she did not want to use it saying “this is Zurich and not Geneva” but ultimately did and I was able to access after a frustrating but what I chose to remember as humorous delay.

Searching on the LX/LH website, it says that for HON access to ZRH First Class lounge is permitted when flying Star Alliance operated flight. Is this really the case? I’ve a LOT flight coming up on LO ticket, based on what I saw I should have access, correct?

E to A is 10 minutes & as long as you are avoiding the ‘bank’ of longhaul arrivals, never a wait at passport control to enter A

Slightly OT: I haven’t seen much discussion yet about the new “First Class” lounge opened by Swissport in ZRH E. Is the Suites by Aspire Lounge in E a credible alternative to the FCL E?
It appears to be ŕ la carte only, with a more limited food selection compared to LX FCL, though the drinks list doesn’t look too bad. There’s a CHF 30 upsell compared with the standard Aspire Lounge.
