Whiskey Bar

Is it possible to enter the lounge with the Whiskey bar in Zurich in Business Class?

The Whiskey bar is in the Senator lounge, which is not accessible on a Business Class ticket alone. You need to be SEN or Star Gold member.

Damn, am only a Star Silver... and a big Whisk(e)y lover. Thanks for the reply.

I'm booked LHR-ZRH-DXB-ZRH-LHR, with a long layover in ZRH on the way back to London. First time flying SWISS long haul (I've done LHR-ZRH in business before), doesn't seem to be an option to upgrade to F online in my fare at the moment.

you can upgrade in Z or higher.

See if someone can guest you into the lounge.

P lies below Z. It is the lowest LX biz class product.

You could try to arrange a lounge meeting with a gold member who can, as already suggested, guest you into the lounge.

Upgrading to F and then going to the Gold/SEN-Lounge would be a bit of a waste, as you also access the FCL then.

Good luck!

Thank you, is there a thread to request lounge guesting for SWISS?

Enjoy!

(The whisky bar has recently received a shipping of "signature series" whiskys, some very nice ones...)

P can be upgraded to F with M&M miles/vouchers for sure.

Correct, only LX not LH. Upgrading P & Z is 20k miles more than C, D & J fares.

I had a LX flight this year in P and it wouldn't let me upgrade to F online. However, when I asked at check-in, they were able to do it for me. If you want an upgrade, by all means ask if they have a free spot when you check in.
