Anyone experienced the Whisky Lounge open before 10.30am or after 6pm (yes.. 6pm) recently?
always seen their sign in the last few month when outside of their single shift operating hours now.. pretty bad show by Swiss.
i mean, staff getting sick and no reserve, that can happen. But being short on staff for months.. in their Home base...
guess they dont pay their bartenders more than their FAs..

First class lounge in E concourse on arrival?
Hi all
Quick question. Planning a trip in F from Delhi and then transiting to Manchester. I assume we will land in E concourse. Does that mean we can use the F lounge in E (which I believe is nicer than the A one) and then move to D a bit later since we will have a 5 hour transit. Do they provide a car between the lounges or do we have to take the train between E and D?
Many thanks for any help.

Hi there,
Ill be arriving EWR - ZRH on a Tuesday 8:30 AM on United airlines. Im currently waitlisted for Polaris (business)
Ill be transferring to Barcelona (On Swiss in Economy at 12:20 PM, so I have a few hours to explore) curious if I need to clear any form of formalities in Zurich, or will I have to do that in Barcelona. With that said, Im star gold and wanted to know what are the better lounges to seek out. Im unsure ware what terminal Ill probably arrive in and depart from as well.
I read that the terminals are close together and the senator lounge in terminal E seems to be the best opportunity for me based on my class of travel and status.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
Happy holidays and enjoy your 2020 travels

In addition to the other lounges mentioned, if you want to be thorough: Polaris gets access to the Swiss arrivals lounge too. (It's probably not worth it if you have the other lounges, and you'd have to go through security afterwards, but we might as well be complete.) Some rumours suggest even UA*G is enough to get you in, but that's unconfirmed.
I tried this last year and was denied, that's the best datapoint I can give you.

if you want a shower and head downtown afterwards: Arrival lounge
bacon/sausage for breakfast? Arrival lounge
if you got time to kill and want a nice view, and like egg dishes: Sen E

(Which doesn't mean it wasn't true at one point in the past, but it would be illogical given the usual entry criteria for all other arrivals lounges.)

Where is Migros at ZRH
Hi, I understand at ZRH Airport theres a Migros supermarket (I want to get some Frey chocolate bars) for myself and as gifts. Ill be arriving in the E gates I believe and then departing from the A gates. Upper thread I was advised to start off with the lounges at the E gates ( arrival on United from the US) and work my way to the A gates For my Barcelona departure. Im in the airport for about 3 1/2 hours so where do I find the Migros supermarket?
Thanks in advance

(It's worth checking whether any of the lounges have luggage storage, then you'd really have no reason not to go through security.)

BTW there are also some chocolate shops in the departures area between A and B - likely more expensive, and fancier, than Frey - but saves the trip through security, in case that's a concern.
