Can Edelweiss business pax use the Swiss lounge in A? Connecting in J ORD-ZRH-LPA.
Is it still self-serve buffet and drinks?

Can see it being closed again if this continues, which is a shame as it's a really nice lounge.

Anyone has the latest menu of the F lounge in ZRH?
Thinking about whether it is worth getting a bit earlier to the airport and have dinner in the lounge and sleep more on the plane or not.
Thanks!

I've been there twice in Nov/Dec before early afternoon flights and it was really well attended, approx 40 pax both times. Let's hope they'll keep it open, the other lounge in A was a ZOO

Assuming the lounge isn’t crazy busy, which I expect to be the case in the evening, then it’s worth considering. The menu has nice options and the food is very good for a lounge and most likely better tasting (and healthier, depending on your choices) than on the flight.

Passed through ZRH yesterday on my way back from LAX to LCY. Going from E to D in the afternoon, there were precisely zero lounges available for use unless you wanted to enter Schengen. I'm on a British passport so could have done, however it really is rubbish for Swiss to put their passengers in such a situation.

Currently in the LAX lounge. Average occupancy. Nice spread of salad and warm dishes, wine, spirits, beer. Bar is closed, but there is the self-serve area.
met a passenger booked on AF trying to get into the Star Alliance Lounge. Of course he was not let in. He was furious having paid 3000.- and AF has its lounge closed apparently. It was 4 hours before his departure. Pretty tough if true.

Departed ZRH this morning, Apline Lounge nearly empty, maybe half a dozen people were there.
Lounge staff was amazing, would definetly recommend skipping SEN/Bus A and going to Alpine directly. The views and the ambience is great!

I've only experienced Alpine pre-pandemic, but I think the move of making Alpine the *G lounge was the right one.
Hoping I'll get a chance to try it later this year. Will have to see what comes of the whisky bar - I would like to go there at least one last time.

I concur, and food is way better than SEN/BUS A and E. With automated passport control to E reactivated, I am even choosing Alpine over SEN/BUS E.
