After looking on Swiss and Zurich Airport, after calling some of lounges and airlines, finally I've found the place with people who know almost everything (-:
We're flying tomorrow WAW -> ZRH -> TFS, Swiss and Edelweiss. We land 21:50 and take off 6:55. We're flying Business class, so we thought we could enjoy some time in lounges, but it seems we land to late and take off to early. Is there a better option then just sleeping in airport hotel? Is there a point in going to see the city at that timeframe?

I arrive in ZRH on EK at noon and have a LX flight in C to FLR 5 hours later.
Not very familiar with this airport, can someone please explain the procedure and which alternative lounge I can use? I will also have checked luggage.
Thanks

As far as lounges go, you can use the LX lounges in D and E. You will have to go through security on arrival (assuming you arrive from DXB) and may have to go through a passport check to reach either lounge.

Doing a schengen-to-schengen transit in ZRH soon. Does anyone here have experience with a non-EU passport and could report on the times it would take (Monday afternoon, flight departing around 17:30) to pass through passport control to the E gates & back? Haven't been through ZRH before and really want to give the lounge a try. Queuing times & experiences would be useful. Thanks

Since I'm on separate tickets, I'll have to go through passport control on arrival, collect bags and re-check them with Swiss.
Which lounge would you recommend D or E?

The showers in the C/SEN lounge A didn't stock any of those unless you were using FCL ones

Last week people were talking about the date April 2018 likely not be happening. They already have 2 months delay in the new F class lounge in A and it seems SEN/C will take them to May/June.
