Hmmm. There is not yet a central security in A. This is only scheduled for 2008 (or so).

Hold on, maybe I'm getting it wrong (if so, apologies, I don't fly from E often). Don't I go through security before I get on the train to E?
SmilingBoy. OP: I've never had my BP stamped at the LX lounge. I guess because I was flying LX. I like LH lounge better.. its the only *A lounge with showers there... and its generally quiet. |

Anyone knows if LX still offers the "mobile snack lounge" when departing with the Newark BBJ? |
what lounge in ZRH?
I will be flying from MUC-ZRH-LHR next week and wanted to see the star alliance lounge. I got a bit over 1.5hr layover. Is that enough? How would I get to it? Or should I just go to the Swiss lounge?

90min is an eternity and visiting the Star lounge not a problem. It's a bit of a treck though from the A gates, where your flights will be. Follow the signs towards the B gates until you see a sign directing you to the Star Alliance lounge.
|
But in your opinion, is it worth to chek out the lounge?

I think only SEN and HON can visit the first class side - I think *G not, but not sure.

You will get to see the longest attended bar in the world according to their claims. I actually prefer the bar upstairs to the rest of the lounge itself.

I prefer the Bellevue lounge over the others. It has the best views hands down and it's actually quicker to get to your USA departure gate from there than the others since you're already in terminal E. I think the previous posts regarding security in Terminal A/B refers to the passport check b4 you get to the shopping area. It's not a true security check. I was unaware that they are consolidating security in the check-in area. A major bummer, if you ask me. Part of the reason that the airport runs so smoothly is distributing the security throughout the terminals (esp. Terminal A). Finally, I don't understand why the US flights are isolated. Someone told me that this was in place even before the liquid ban? Also, isn't the liquid restriction in place for flights to Great Britain as well, yet BA departs from the other side of Terminal E?

The isolation has nothing to do with the liquid ban, but rather with some other additional security measures required for flights departing to the US (vs. elsewhere). These also go beyond what is obvious to passengers. Once the new EU III security rules will be implemented airport-wide next year, no more separation will be required.

Correct, there will be a transfer security facility at the A, E and B gates as well as one central zone for all local pax. It was my understanding that all transfer pax, irrespective of their orgin & destination, will still have to clear security again. The idea however is that they do this as soon as they enter the transfer zone, and once cleared they can then roam the entire airside area.
