Prologue:

Last time I flew LX in First was in 2012 so quite a long time ago and I only flew the 340 and 330. The 777 takes LX FC to another level and on par with the current FC on major airlines. I also was looking forward to their new First Class Lounge.
Is LX overrated. Let's find out.

After a short ride I'm eventually there.

Check-in was quick and requested a room.

One of the best bed I've slept on. With a F view.

The bathroom is huge.

Before taking a well deserved nap it was time to explore the lounge.

Unfortunately most of the meals were out of stock..... Come'on it's 3 pm.. Instead of saying what's left I was picking and the waiter just said no over and over... Ping pong discussion... As much as I love and practice Ping-Pong this is not First Class experience.

Unfortunately the terrace is closed.

The soup was excellent and so were the raviolis.

I was left with only fondue option or get more starters... Great ! As you can see I took ground beef and it was a bad choice...

Fat and tasteless.

Since I can't get to the terrace I left the lounge to go to the roof top.

The view is nice and so is the weather.

========== Swiss First Class Lounge Terminal E ==========



Staff Service: 3/10
Entertainment: 6/10
Business Center: /10
Food: 3/10
Lounge Design: /10
Spa and Bathroom: /10
Wifi: /10

Summary:

On the one hand, I had a near perfect flight with a great crew and food and on the other the Lounge was a disappointing experience. I guess I had too much expectations:
The pros :
- The view
- The bedroom is a big plus when you have a long layover
The cons:
- The food was so so, many items missing and it was only 3pm...
- The terrace was closed for no reason.. And remained closed throughout my stay.
- Staff, once again I was hoping for a stellar service but instead they were arrogant and condescending.

It was surely a bad day but not something you would expect when you fly LX.
The crew on my flight deserved a 10. I loved chatting with the Captain for nearly 30 min and gave me a chance to seat on the 777 cockpit.
