And what is the diner time in FCL in ZRH? I am arriving to ZRH at about 7pm flying to BKK at 22.45, any chances for a decent meal, apart from one onboard?

Hi all! Flying YYC-SFO-ZRH-HKG after originally being schedule YYC-ORD-FRA-CDG-BKK-HKG but due to snow in ORD had to change. All in F. Have 7 hours between flights in ZRH. Should I go into town (I've taken the train 3 days ago 
) or stay in the FCL?

The FCL warrants maximum 90 minutes.

I would definitely not want to spend 7 hours at the LX F lounge in ZRH - or at any other lounge in any civilised country, for that matter.I would recommend going downtown to spend the late afternoon / early evening and to return to the airport to arrive there around 8:30 PM, then go to the lounge and have a nice dinner before departing to HKG again.

Yes- arrival on LX F is enough to access the lounge- I don't think they will drive you to your connecting flight however.

One More FCL Question - Exiting FCL to go into Zurich
I to have a 6 hour layover and am traveling in First Class. I arrive 6:00 am from BOM and Connectinto to YUL at 12:50. Considering my arrival is so early can go to the FCL, shower have breakfast then go into Zuirch? I realize there is an arrivals lounge, but I would rather use the FCL.
If I go to FCL first, will I have an issue getting out and clearing customs to go and visit Zurich?

yes, no problem to leave the 1st class lounge to exit the airport - just take the elevator down a few floors and follow the signs - done that many times...

I will be arriving in First from PVG and have a connecting flight but not wit *A. Any chance to have access to the Lounge after arrival, or only with a connection within *A?

You can use the F Lounge as an Arrivals Lounge, but probably best not mentioning your non-*A connection... ;-)
