A truly outstanding lounge experience: SWISS First Class Lounge E (19. April 2019)

| May 21, 2019 | 0 Comments

The First Class Lounge in the E Terminal at Zurich airport is truly an amazing experience – when you have the luck to either fly First or to be a HON Circle member, then you should spend as much time as possible at this little gem. The lounge itself isn’t huge but it offers everything you need and on top of all, it offers great and caring service.

Given it was rather early in the morning (around 8:30am), I decided to go for the “Onsen egg (with potato and wild garlic spuma and glazed asparagus)” which was a good start for breakfast.

Given it’s not every day, I’m here, I decided to go for another dish and ordered the “beef tatar (rocket salad emulsion, sbrinz, sesame, capers, toast)” which was as good and definitely lifted my mood for the rest of the journey.

Last but not least, I told myself “what the heck – who cares” and ordered the “Swiss cheese fondue (with home-made bread and small potatoes)” and I was truly stunned. The cheese mix they serve in the First Class Lounge in the Terminal E in Zurich is – not joking (!) – the single best cheese fondue mix I have ever tried. It is so smooth, so tender, so coating your tongue, absolutely amazing and incredibly. Even now, three days after I’ve tried it, I’m still baffled by the memory of it!

And when you can enjoy it with a view onto the airport fields, it tastes even better!

If you get this in front of you, use it to the fullest extent possible. It is so amazing!

The lounge is, as stated initially, quite lovely and spacious but not overly large. Around 9:00am it really starts to fill up and got quite crowded. But at least the tables are far enough apart so you have your privacy.

The staff is incredibly friendly, smiling, and attentive. It is almost unnatural but it is actually natural. I mean, they do an amazing job! You just want to come back!

What I also like about the lounge is the Breitiling advertisement (done by a friend of mine).

When you stand in front of this door (which is straight in real life), enter it, and enjoy to the fullest extent possible.

All in all, the SWISS First Class Lounge E is really a place I want to return to so many times! I mean, this place is just damn amazing. The food is great, the service is amazing, the ambience is nice – I understand why people who have become HON Circle members do a lot to maintain that status!
