Transiting through ZRH, which lounge to use for a shower?
Hi Everyone
Flying YUL-ZRH-LHR on LX in J soon. I have a 4 hr layover in ZRH so lots of time to use the Arrivals Lounge, but is there a lounge that has a shower that I can use in ZRH without going airside? As I said I am flying in J on LX, but have no status. I think my flight to LHR is from an A gate but the Swiss Lounge there has no shower.
Also can you get from A gates to B&D gates without going through Security? It might be a long walk but I have time.
Advice anyone?

If you don't need a visa to enter Schengen/Switzerland, the Arrival Lounge has 20 showers and a better selection of breakfast than any business lounge you have access to.

Your flight to LHR will be most probably from the D gates, since the UK is Non-Schengen. The lounge there has one shower, but I'd not take it there. Arriving in E gates, I'd probably hit the E lounges, staying airside. Then either take the dirty direct transfer to D gates, or the clean one via Schengen (A)
Of course, in true FT spirit you could go to the E lounge first, eat and take a shower there, then go landside to the Arrivals lounge, another shower and more food (open till 1pm), then going to D and another shower. Food there usually isn't great, so maybe better stuff yourself in E and Arrival

The F-lounge facilities are a delight.
I'm sure if you explain to the lounge angels that you simply want a shower, and will not touch the comestibles, they will welcome you aboard.
