I‘ll certainly not put a foot in the „Expire“ Lounge, and even less will I queue up for that experience. The terminal itself is 10 times nicer than that prison.

There are comfortable places to park oneself in and around the concourse: some might even have refreshments available, in exchange for a modest payment ......

...ouch. Any good restaurants or secluded cafes at the E-gates? Even though I’ve probably flown AC879 or various LH group flights from the E-gates around 15 times, I’ve only ever been to the LX lounges.

Awesome! The seating there almost looks lounge-like, so I'll definitely give it a try. Some things are okay priced but some prices are just insane, even for Swiss standards - for instance, hot chocolate with whipped cream is 9.20 CHF.
It seems that many intercontinental carriers (i.e. AC, SQ and some LX flights) have moved to D gates even though some flights are still operating from E - anyone know why that is? For the record, every single AC flight I've taken to/from ZRH was at E.

I actually don't think E is open for pax flights. I know they handle some pax-freighter flights there.

BA709 took off a half hour ago from E-gates. So did LX188 and LX288 yesterday. Man, I really hope they move back to E-gates, for some reason I just find them to be much nicer than the D-gates. The train is pretty good too.

I was able to enter the Aspire lounge in ZRH as a SEN last weekend. It was early morning so it was not too busy, but there was nothing noteworthy there either: you could get a morning coffee or champagne and a pre-packaged plate of pretzels. Note that you will not be able to bring in a guest with this current lounge arrangement.
