Be grateful if someone would kindly remind me …

We are flying LHR/ZRH/LAX on Thursday. We have about one hour to connect. Upon arrival in ZRH, do we make our way to F Cl L at A gates and get a lift over to E? (We are in F Cl.). Many thanks!

If you have UK passports, you would have to enter Switzerland to go to the FCL at A, whereas you could take the Heidi train to E without passport controls. If there is a queue for passport control to enter A I'd take that option.

If there is no queue then you could go to FCL A, they will do the document checks for the USA there and drive you to E (not to the gate though). You'd need a Swiss entry form in that scenario.

Just did the reverse LAX-ZRH in F a week ago (and a similarly timed departure to JFK in F before that). One hour is quite short for FCL and departure to US, unless you were landing ex-Schengen. FCL will be crowded at that hour too, with the bank of departures to US/YUL/DXB. Personally, I found the wines to be better on board than at FCL. I might skip FCL in this situation, to be honest, and board as early as possible for some Grand Siecle

Is this entry form different than the process to submit your vaccine records to obtain the QR code that would allow you into restaurants, etc.? I am flying next month and when I try to complete the form, the website does not allow me to select an entrance date beyond Oct 31.

Disregard - I see now that the entry form can only be submitted 48 hours prior to arrival.
