Switzerland Airport Lounges

Why Book an Airport Lounge in Switzerland?

Whether you’re flying to or from Geneva, Bern, Zurich, Lugano or another airport, Switzerland has a multitude of lounges within its airports from which you can relax and recharge before your flight, or during transit. Switzerland has only 13 airports (seven international) and these seven international airports process some 50 million passengers every year.

So if you are visiting Switzerland anytime soon, make sure to make the most of an airport lounge. Browse the vast range of Swiss airport lounges with Enjoy Travel.

Comfort and Convenience

With its location in Central Europe, Switzerland is a popular country for many long-haul flights to stop in for layovers. It is also common for many long-haul flights to depart from its major international airports, such as Zurich and Geneva, where passengers can travel as far afield as the USA or Japan.

Being able to spend precious time relaxing and recharging between flights (or before a long flight) can make all the difference in your travel experience.

Relax While You Recharge

It’s not just your electronic devices that need recharging between flights - chances are, you’re due some good old R&R (relaxation and recharging, not rock and roll!). Airport lounges are typically stocked with magazines and newspapers for those wanting a break from screen time, or they also tend to offer complimentary WiFi so that you can stay connected with friends and family back home.

Working is an Option

For those who travel for business, keeping updated with your work can be a struggle, particularly on layovers on long-haul flights with no Internet access. Utilise the airport lounge and make the most of their free WiFi to catch up on any emails or work, while you enjoy a nice coffee at the same time.

Some Swiss airport lounges even have dedicated co-working spaces or rentable meeting rooms where you can get work done in peace and quiet.

Air Miles or Credit Card?

Often, you can use your air miles (if you are a frequent traveller) to gain access to a Swiss airport lounge, meaning you can save money by doing so. Often in foreign countries transactions are charged extra fees when using a debit card, but it is often free when using a credit card. If you do not have enough air miles to purchase a space in an airport lounge, then there is always the option of buying it on your credit card instead.

Food and Drink

One of the key features which sets airport lounges apart from the rest of the terminal is that they typically offer free food and drinks. You are likely to find a selection of traditional Swiss food, as well as all-time favourites throughout the day. Most lounges will change their food selection throughout the day, so those on early flights will be able to get breakfast food, while those on night-time flights are more likely to be served dinner selections.

Soft drinks are almost always complimentary, although alcoholic drinks can differ from airport to airport. However, beers and wines usually come as a part of the complimentary service included in Swiss airport lounges.

Free WiFi

Using an airport lounge is a great way to keep connected with friends and family back home by using their complimentary WiFi. Whether you opt to use this service to undertake some work, or simply download a few films, podcast episodes or TV shows for your flight is completely up to you.

Amenities and Facilities

Most Swiss airport lounges offer free food, drinks and WiFi as well as comfortable seating areas such as sofas. Some of the more premium lounges can even offer sleep pods, shower facilities and workspaces.

Family Friendly

In Switzerland, most of the airport lounges are family-friendly. They may offer colouring books for children or even a children’s play area. However, certain lounges are adults-only spaces, so make sure that you check this before you book a lounge if you are travelling with children.

Flight Information

Most airport lounges will contain live boards where you can check the flight departure times, and you should always make a note of where the closest board is to you for flight information so that you do not miss it.

How to Make the Most of Your Lounge Experience

Being able to use an airport lounge is a luxury and a privilege, so here are a few ways that you can make the most of that experience:

Drink responsibly: This goes for all airports, but especially lounges - drink in moderation to make the most of the experience. You can even be barred from boarding a flight if you are too intoxicated, so just be careful how much you have beforehand.

Know what’s there: Check out the amenities that the lounge has online before you arrive so that you are not shocked or disappointed when you arrive.

Check your eligibility: Always check this beforehand, as some lounges only offer access to guests who are flying in business or first class. Make sure that you book a lounge that gives access to all passengers, or one that accommodates your ticket type.

What are the Rules and Restrictions of Airport Lounges in Switzerland?

Certain airport lounges in Switzerland may be adult-only, but this is not always the case. Check online before booking so that you know exactly what you can expect upon arrival.

Furthermore, some business or first-class lounges may have a dress code, so be prepared to bring a change of clothes if this is the case.

Some Swiss airport lounges may also have restrictions on group sizes, so if you are travelling in a large group, always double-check that you will be granted access to the lounge beforehand.

How to Stay Safe and Healthy in Swiss Airport Lounges

Adhere to Health & Safety Measures

While many of the regulations surrounding COVID-19 have been relaxed, such as the use of face masks and vaccination passports, it’s always worth reading up on any health and safety measures that need to be adhered to when using a Swiss airport lounge.

Keep Your Belongings Secure and Organised

Making sure that you always keep your belongings nearby is essential for peace of mind, as well as preventing you from becoming a victim of theft.

Avoid Allergens and Contaminants

To avoid becoming ill, make sure that you ask staff about any allergens that might be present in any food you consume in the lounge if it’s not clearly stated. Good advice is to bring some hand sanitiser, too.

Bring Your Own Travel Essentials and Accessories

Being able to use the lounge’s amenities is always nice, but if you find it difficult to travel without a pillow or headphones, for example, then make sure you bring them with you regardless.

Make Friends and Connections

While speaking to others can be daunting sometimes, why not get to know your fellow passengers, especially if you’re on a long-haul flight? In fact, this is ideal for solo travellers who can meet other like-minded travellers going to the same destinations.
