And either way it's academic because the FCL is closed for all.

Not only that, but LX9000 isn’t even going to operate with F for at least the next 5+ months... a lot can change in that time.

This is all redundant.

PresRDC ZRH-FRA flight is in business class, on a separate ticket.
However, if he is issued in ZRH his boarding pass for F flight MUC-ORD later that day, yes I agree it's likely he'll get access in FCL in ZRH. Fingers crossed ^
Does this include FCL access after arriving on a feeder flight in ZRH, if the long haul leg in F is not until the next morning?

In this case you will get access to FCL only on the day of your F flight (next morning).

Even though the entire journey is booked in F (but operated as J on the feeder flight)?

Yes. The general rule is that you get lounge access on the day of your departing flight.
On the day of your J flight you get access to Business Class lounge, and on the day of your F flight you get access to FCL.
In certain cases LH and LX gives you access to their FCL upon arrival on their F flight.

Similarly, if you arrive on a feeder flight in Economy and your J flight is on the next day, you will get Business Class lounge access on the next day before your J flight.

Access to the SWISS lounges are only with a boarding pass valid for same day travel. In general you coul use after arrival the Business Class Lounge but likely not the First Class Lounge (Speaking of pre COVID times)

AFAIK without SEN, OP will not have any lounge access after arriving in J.

I only accessed the F lounge once on arrival and it was to wait for a friend that was leaving later in the evening on the ZRH-SIN arriving from GVA. But his flight from GVA got delayed so he had to go straight to the plane. I just left the lounge and when to my hotel in Zurich. Felt really weird being in a lounge not waiting for a flight. But it was technically a same day ticket (NRT if I remember correctly).

in the Swiss arrival lounge you do not need SEN; biz class ticket or FTL is sufficient....but it is closed currently

Does the arrival lounge apply for shorthaul too on LX since that is what OP is in?

Thanks for clarifying. I was confused since I thought LX matched LH with the policy I found below:

- Intercontinental routes are flights with flight numbers LH401-LH799 or from ALG, BEY, CMN, IST, KZN, LCA, TUN, ESB, DME.

just to make it clear: the Swiss arrival lounge is landside after customs, not airside
