Lounge Acsess @ ZRH?
Hi all,
i've booked my self to fly MAN-ZRH-HKG-ZRH-MAN in Sept, and i was wondering, as i have a 5hr stopover bothways in ZRH, is there a swiss lounge i can go to, and pay to go in there?
I've been to ZRH before, but i cant recall a lounge there.
I'm a member of the frequent flyer club too, but not the high levels

The only pay-for-access lounge in Zurich is the Bellevue lounge at the E gates, where your flight to HKG will leave from. I think the fee is CHF30.
But with a 5hr layover, why not enjoy the lovely city of Zurich instead of hanging around at the airport?

Thanks for that airoli.
Would i be allowed to leave the terminal, as i am officially in transit??
And i would get into ZRH @ 1645, sure thats too late to see Zurich, maybe on the way back i'll pop in

and you need only 0-2 minutes to go through immigration, another 3 walking minutes to the trainstation in the airport, 12 minutes by train to the middle of downtown Zurich (Hauptbahnhof) and these trains rund every 10 to 15 minutes (both ways).

If your flight is on time you can easily be in the Old Town by 1730 an then take a train back to the airport at 2100 (assuming you flight leaves at 2215).

Go and see town!
As people have suggested above. I often go for a quick dip in the lake ( http://www.badi-info.ch/Utoquai.html ) between flights. September is often still warm enough and best visiblity (mountains!) time of year. (I even time my long-haul flights to have some time in Zürich, as opposed to just ZRH). Plenty of nice cafés and eateries before / after / instead of. Long-haul travel is tiring enough - a breath of fresh air does wonders! See what the weather is like, but try and take a look!
