Outstanding report with great pics. Kudos on doing 4 lounges at LHR on the same trip. Very impressive. That SQ LHR lounge meal looks delicious.
Swiss First looks as good as ever although after the LPGS and Pontet-Canet, wines are still pretty weak.
The ZRH lounges look wonderful with great food. Love the meal and wine pairing options. Still not impressed with the lack of escort from the FCL to plane at ZRH. But at least it wasn't a gong show like sometimes when there are so many pax that you can't even get to the F/HON lane.

Thanks for all of the comments - it makes writing these longer reports all the more worthwhile!
It was pretty hectic at passport checks ahead of the gate area, but given I'd had my passport checked in the FCL A, I just skirted around the outside and headed straight for the F/HON lane at the gate.
