Hello!! We are flying Air Canada to Zurich and then on to Dubrovnik on Croatia Airlines. We have a 7.5 hr layover in Zurich…could we pay to get into this lounge? Or any lounge? Thank you
Unfortunately, this lounge doesn’t allow for paid access, but if you have Priority Pass, you can check the app for lounges. Otherwise, you can purchase access to lounges on Lounge Buddy.

Hey Ricky, did you have to pay for the room or the alcohol? Alos, it would be interesting to know how long it is permitted to use the room. Greetings from Switzerland.
Nope, it’s all free as part of the First Class Lounge! As far as how long you can use the room for, I believe it’s for as long as you want. So in theory you could arrive at 6am for your flight late at night and use it the whole day.
Hey Ricky, would you be able to gain access in the reverse direction or does it have to be when you are connecting onto the LH F flight? Im currently exploring the idea of going BOS-FRA-ZRH to continue onto IST. It would definitely be consider the craziest lounge run you can imagine for trip review another time lol.
Yes! That’ll allow you to get into the Swiss First Class Lounge, as long as your arrival in Zurich is on the same day as your arrival on the LH F flight.
So you had access because of the FRA-BOS leg was in first? Did you show them the onward boarding pass? I don’t imagine they have F for ZRH-FRA?
Correct. You get access if you are flying Swiss or Lufthansa First Class on the same day.
Hi,
Awesome review of the lounge…..This was better than TPG’s review.
Question: what was your route for this trip? and how far in advance did you book in First class? Was it directly from Aeroplan site of you had to call in? Looking for some data points. Thanks
Wow, high praise 🙂 I flew ZRH-FRA-BOS, with the transatlantic segment in First Class, booked 14 days out. Since it was a relatively simple routing I had no problem finding it with the Aeroplan search engine.
New to your blog, and wanted to drop a line 🙂 Your blog is very aesthetically appealing, and appreciating the thorough review as I am in the process of planning a similar route back from Asia early next year. Looking forward to the rest of your post. Cheers!
