Business also means accessible for FTL?

No. No access for FTL and Business is also only eligible for people flying LH Group Business, not *A Business. *A First has access though.

Not saying I don’t like the rules, but they will require a lot of explanations at the counter.

Guests are additionally offered a range of further ingredients to tailor their food to their particular taste. These individualization options also help to reduce food waste. The beverages on offer include a selection of local Swiss wines and spirits. And the wines are served using a new and more ecofriendly dispensing system that enhances both the quality of the wine and the lounge’s recycling credentials.

The passage about the food sounds good to me. Just hope they don't start with decent food, as they did at the E lounges, and then degrade it soon after opening, as they also did at the E lounges.

The "ecofriendly" wine dispensing system sounds like wine on tap from large containers, as can be found at the SK lounge at CPH. Let's see what the quality is like. Such a system can help to disguise low-quality and cheap wine, as pax checking quality and prices with apps such as vivino.com has become a problem for airlines serving cheap booze.

The gate dragons didn’t even leave me past the door, as I (Senator) am being unfaithful today and flying OW.


Behind the bookshop at the A gate side.

Nothing to see here sir. Please move on

What *A carriers offer F out of ZRH? Can't imagine that many if any at all? The wording below doesn’t mention *A F like it does with the SEN Lounge

  • First Class SWISS and Lufthansa, HON Circle, Miles & More Senator, Business Class SWISS, Lufthansa and Austria
Wording doesn't mention *G but given the logo means this is a designated *G lounge where any *G on any *A carrier has access?


Confusing concept all together

There is SQ with F out of ZRH, but yes there aren't any more. However, the rules are still formulated like this: *A F has access to the Alpine Café acording to my sources, as do *G. *G furthermore is mentioned specifically in the newsroom article.

Will *G get access if traveling on something else than LH Group?
