ZRH isn’t half bad compared to FRA, but it’s not the most fun airport to transit either. Upon deplaning I headed down the escalator and had to take a train to the main terminal. Unfortunately the train runs rather infrequently, so half of the passengers from my flight were at the platform by the time…

For that guy that cut you off, did you wave to him from class. I saw someone once that had on a shirt that said First Class is the only way to fly, maybe you can get something to compliment your United t-shirts.
My favorite line:
As we were trying to board a passenger came up behind my brother and said “excuse me, I’m in business class.” Oh no he didn’t….
I love it! What was your brother's response?
You should have gone to the LX FirstClass Lounge instead of the SEN lounge. And you'd have been driven to the plane by car, same procedure as FCT in FRA. Too bad you missed out on that.
@ ktpc2005 & Eric -- I don't think he actually responded. A shame, I know. I really should get another "fun" shirt, although too many people would take it the wrong way, in all honesty.
@ f4freeJunior -- That's what I was thinking, although I couldn't find the F lounge! When I asked the agent where the F lounge was, she said I couldn't use it unless I'm departing in first class (which is obviously wrong). Given the time constraints I decided to just use the Senator lounge, or I would have had virtually no time. Good to know for next time. 🙂
Love the photos, especially the Turkish coffee demo. You really crack me up... even the way you spelled Bulgari. : )

I know that you're an InterContinental kind of guy and would never stay at a Ritz (no loyalty program!), but you would be happy to know that all Ritz-Carlton's stock Bulgari bath amenities.
p.s. Did you check the brand of linens on your Swiss Air flight?
@ A Kimyai -- Thanks! I guess now I understand the spelling of Bulgari. Good to hear all Ritz Carlton hotels have Bulgari, it really is my favorite.
Sorry, I wasn't geeky enough to check the brand of the linens on my Swiss flight. I'll check it out next time. 😀
Re: The Bulgari situation: my home college building says "DEPARTMENT OF AGRICVLTURE" in the same tradition "roman" style haha (And for the record, my major is NOT agriculture)
During the meal service, did the crew wheel a cart from the galley to one of you, serve then wheel it to back through the galley to the other aisle to serve the other seat or was everything hand carried on a tray?
BTW thanks for writing.
@ John -- The crew wheeled the cart to both aisles, which was well done on their part.
Who Turkish Airlines had such nice food and seating? I guess if they work on their service, they could be one of the top elite airlines...
