The wi-fi connection in here was excellent, reasonably priced and it was great to sit at a proper desk instead of precariously balancing my laptop on my knee while the battery slowly runs down.

Although I could not see any available powerpoints there are plenty of seats and tables within the cafes and restaurants.

The Orange data network was down but mobile phone coverage was good. Important tip: once you get through security there is nothing on the other side - you go straight through to the gates, so don't rely on being productive there.

Those work nicely as does the cubicles in the Lufthansa lounge and most chairs in the Swiss Business lounge., In other areas, like the B piers, power outlets and Internet access leaves more to whish for.
