SWISS EXECUTIVE LOUNGES - ZURICH AIRPORT
Relax or Work at Switzerland's Premiere Airport
Okay,
so you totally zonked out on that international flight on a Swiss Internatioanl
flight through Zurich, succumbing to the arms of Orpheus
and the irresistable seduction of the new lay-flat reclining seats in
business class now on all of Swiss’ international routes. You arrive
in Switzerland’s premier airport having totally booted that presentation
you planned to prepare in the air, and you have a proposal meeting
in the afternoon, or are heading off again to see new clients in Dubai
or Zagreb. Never mind, the five Swiss Executive Lounges at Zurich will
provide all the services and relaxation you need. Okay, you ask,
does
one airline really need five lounges? Need you ask, you expect the best,
don’t you?
Swiss Arrival Lounge
The arrivals lounge is for the mere mortal in economy. The chairman has
decreed a cut back on travel costs and made you sit in the premieim economy

a bit hectic at high traffic times. Hot and cold snacks and Swiss specialities
