The lounge guide of LX indicates Yes when just looking at "Senator" but I'm not quite sure. It has been possible in former times, or has this changed?
You did have access didn't you?

WLAN at LX lounge

Did anybody else notice that there seems to be a new form of WLAN access at the Swissl lounge in ZRH? Until recently, front desk staff gave out these wonderful credit card sized Swisscom hotspot cards, which could then be neatly used at any Swisscom hotspot nation-wide.

On Saturday, I was instead given a flimsy A5-sized paper with a sunrise access code, valid for 30mins, and supposedly only at the airport... Has somebody tried using this voucher elsewhere?

Swiss Lounge ZRH

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the Swiss Senator Lounge and the Business Class Lounge in ZRH?

Just arrived connecting LHR-ZRH-ORD in C. Was directed to teh Senator lounge due to my bmi gold card.

Does it make any difference?

When I was there a couple of weeks ago, it looked like the upstairs part of the Sen Lounge was more airy and had better food than the Business Class lounge.

LX Arrival Lounge at ZRH - access if Star Alliance Gold, but flying economy?

If one flies to Zurich on a LX flight in economy, but if one is a Star Alliance Gold (nonLX) member - can one get access to the LX arrivals lounge in ZRH?

LH SEN *G and LX SEN *G are identical = Miles and More SEN = LH*G. Here access is granted.

The OP refers to another Frequent Flyer Programme, like TP*G, BD*G, TG*G etc. etc.

*A Golds excluded, eh? If the OP has a Priority Pass card (complimentary with some AmEx platinum cards including UK, not sure about Canada), s/he will have the access denied to *A Golds.

Correct. SEN / FTL gives you access, other *G doesn't when arriving in Y.

We are Star Alliance Gold through Air Canada's Aeroplan frequent flyer program.

Sorry, guys, but it is like it is: If you want to use the arrival lounge, pay for it (30 CHF / 28 usD) I think or change to M&M ... or fly C/F

Access for cash is no longer possible. The rules changed some weeks ago.

Maybe all this is LX's response to the Economy-Plus access (and other perks) on UA for M&M-elites?

Is it still a Priority Pass lounge? That used to be a decent workaround as well.
