Willard settles down with a glass of rose' bubbles, and surveys the view, a view that will seem very familiar to people used to the original Swissair First Class lounge, as this seems to be in the same location (but a lot bigger!)

Willard makes a bee-line for the sweets, but I warn him not to spoil his appetite, after all, we will be well fed on the flight!

After a tour of various parts of the lounge, we end up in the, I guess, after dinner section of the lounge, with coffee, tea and a selection of digestifs

All too soon, we are called for our limo-bus transfer to the E terminal for our flight, and Willard rides with a new friend he met in the lounge - Sebastian is a lurker on Flyertalk, but a regular poster on it's German language equivalent: Vielfliegertreff. Unfortunately, he is on the direct flight to Hong Kong tonight, so we will have to say goodbye to him and go to our own gate for Bangkok.......

So, after our ride to Terminal E (and having cleared security before we got on the limobus), we're quickly boarded and back in Willard's all-time favourite, the Swiss/Swissair First class seat (generation 2!). Champagne and canapes are duly provided, and we settle down to enjoy the service on this (completely full in F) flight to Bangkok.
