CONCLUSION

I have visited a few Arrival Lounges in the past including those of Qatar Airways, British Airways, Cathay Pacific and Iberia. Although most of them have the same offering (a place to rest and eat), what sets the SWISS Arrival Lounge apart from the rest is that they have 3 nap rooms. These are relaxation rooms complete with a bed, side table, coat hanger, luggage rack and a TV. Of course, the food and drinks offering are great including some sparkling wines. The 20 shower suites make sure that there will never be a queue. Overall, this is a great arrival lounge and if you have access, make sure you visit it.
