I need to know by Bad Ragatz whether to turn left for 21 or right or 03. How do I find out which is in use?
Listen to the ATIS. You can very well receive it by then.

How do I know whether LSR11 is active, and what do I do if it is?
NOTAM and DABS

If it is active contact 134.475 for crossing clearance or fly south of the river Inn below 7000 ft which is below the southern part.

On departure I need to go NE. What do I do if either the wind or traffic strongly favours 21?
Take off on 21 and fly the published pattern and leave at the end of the downwind.

What is Zurich Delta?
The ATC unit which handles VFR traffic in Airspace C and D, primarily above FL130 with MIL active or 160 with MIL off.
Great to see you back, tomjnx
Nearest I ever got to Samedan was at FL129
VFR back then, Zurich would not let us go into their Class C; base FL130.
Well, yes and no. I set off, but the Samedan weather was such that I diverted to Altenrhein, sadly.
