swiss air first class lounge Zurich Airport

swiss international airlines First Class customers and HON Circle members have access to a new airside Lounge at Zurich Airport.

The First Class lounge has been designed to offer maximum privacy to guests, and features separable VIP areas, business offices with state-of-the-art laptops (including free internet connections) and dayrooms with showers, so that visitors can work undisturbed or simply rest and relax. With its large library, its TV area and its wide selection of international newspapers, the lounge features extensive entertainment options, too.

Zurich Airport also confirmed its success over the past year in the latest Business Traveller Awards by retaining its title as “Best Major European Airport and Hub”. With its short distances to and from the gates, its high punctuality and its extensive range of quality retail outlets, Zurich Airport is extremely popular among both travellers to and from Switzerland and connecting passengers.

The new lounge boasts an attractive new décor, too, with the walls, which are made from over ten tonnes of Jurassic limestone, a particularly pleasing “Swiss” touch. – and further-extended service. The latter now includes an attractive pre-flight dining option with a selection of international and Swiss food such as “Charninia Engiadinaisa”, diced veal in a creamy thyme-and-mushroom sauce with polenta bramata and seasonal vegetables.

Swift and skilled service on the ground
To help ensure that its First Class customers can spend as much time as possible in the new lounge before their flight, swiss air has also enlarged its First Class check-in zone, a move that should significantly speed up the check-in process. The new First Class Check-in Lounge offers guests additional check-in desks in an area that is physically separated from the rest of the check-in concourse. In addition to an appealing new design based on an aircraft fuselage, SWISS First Class customers can also look forward to exclusive check-in service and comfortable seating in the new facility.

Another addition to the Zurich check-in concourse is the new state-of-the-art Airport Ticket Office, which has also been substantially enlarged from its predecessor and is available to all swiss air customers. The new Office’s physical separation from the Business and Economy Class check-in desks should help enhance the ticketing services offered. And in a further innovation, Lufthansa is represented in the new Airport Ticket Office with its own dedicated desks.
