SWISS Arrival Lounge
★4.3(20 reviews)ZRH
Shower and have breakfast on the ground after a long-haul arrival.
The SWISS Arrival Lounge at Zurich Airport is one of the few dedicated arrivals lounges anywhere, giving premium international passengers arriving on SWISS, Lufthansa and United the chance to shower and enjoy breakfast on the ground after landing. It's especially valuable for travellers on short overnight flights from the East Coast of the United States, who can maximise sleep and skip breakfast on board, then freshen up here before heading into the city. The lounge is reached from Terminals 1 and 2: hop on the SkyMetro train, go through passport control, pick up your bags, and exit customs. It sits landside in the arrivals zone outside customs and is clearly marked from the baggage claim area. The arrivals zone spans two storeys — on the upper level you walk straight in, while on the lower level you ring the bell to enter the lobby and take the elevator up, where a customer service representative hands you a shower key and gives directions.
Crowding · uncrowded
Geared to freshening up rather than working, but Wi-Fi and seating make it fine to check email or take a quick call before heading into the city.
Breakfast on the ground after landing, with coffee, tea and soft drinks — geared to travellers who skipped the meal on board to get more sleep. The focus is on freshening up and a morning bite rather than an all-day buffet.
