The Chase one-time pass won't give you lounge access at ZRH.
You will have free lounge access based on your incoming business class flight.

These threads in the Swiss forum probably offers the best and up-to-date information regarding lounges at ZRH:

No, that's only valid at United Club locations, and there's no United Club at ZRH. With the economy departure, there's no lounge access unless you hold Star Alliance Gold status.

Unfortunately not. Star Alliance lounges are departure lounges.

You're correct. It's been so long since I've traveled and had time to visit a lounge, so I must have forgotten... (Most recent flights have included running or very quick walking from delayed incoming flights to the departure gate.)

United business doesn't give access to the Swiss arrival lounge either.

If the OP is willing to pay for lounge access, the cost is currently CHF 39.

Not sure what the current offerings are, but in normal times I'd pay CHF 39 to access the E lounge for a 4+ hour layover. Not sure whether I'd pay that for A. Note E is only open limited hours right now. Swiss Lounges ZRH

Thank you for reply.
According to their website looks like SWISS has nothing open in "D" and only "Senator Lounge in E" open 8:00-14:00.
It is also a bit unclear if 39CHF "Business Lounge access voucher" would get me into Senator lounge in E as Business lounge in E is still closed.

The Senator lounges that are currently open are denoted as "One Class Lounge," which I believe means that it is also open to people who would normally use the Business lounge. LH is operating in this way, having one type of lounge open for both Senator access and Business access groups.

The ZRH E Senator lounge is one of the nicer lounges anywhere.

I assume the answer is no but would I get LX/Senator lounge access if I were to arrive in AC J and connect to EY J? I'm *G but since my flight from ZRH isn't *A, I wouldn't have access even though my first segment is in *A? Thanks all.

Unless there’s something I’m unaware of, *A lounge access for *G members is strictly for *A departing flights.

Which Lounge in ZRH?

We are flying the first week of May, ZRH-EWR-TPA in Polaris Business.

What lounge do y'all recommend in Zurich that we will have access to and is/will be open?

Thanks.

The Swiss business lounge above the E gates is very nice, with outdoor seating and great views on a sunny day.

Agreed. I was just there a week or so ago. Lounge was very nice. Made to order food options, along with some buffet setup. All high quality. Great coffee machines,

Very spacious balcony running the length of the lounge, with great runway views. Also, a dedicated "Whiskey Club", if you are so inclined.

Thank you. Is the lounge you are referring to the Senator Lounge E or is it the Swiss Business Lounge E? Or are they the same?

I had read somewhere that the business lounges were not open and that for now the Senator lounges were the only Swiss lounge option?

Sorry, it is my first time in ZRH.
