Swiss International Airlines: Swiss - I was hoping for more swish!

Sat, 13 Oct 2007 10:49:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cr01 - The Swiss as a nation have a reputation for being dependable, on time and umm… a little unexciting. My recent experience with flying to Moscow from London, via Zurich on Swiss Air did little to affect that reputation. Given that our flights were around £...

Swiss International Airlines: Borderline Average Economy Class Service on long haul flights

Sun, 13 May 2007 04:46:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author samiambar - On long haul transatlantic flights the overall service is borderline acceptable but don't expect too much. One advantage is that even cheap tickets are valid 90 days compared to only 30 days on most other airlines and one can make a date change for a...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author racraik - I flew Zurich to Joburg LX 288 Business Airbus A340-300 October. Due to depart at 2235 we were delayed two hours waiting for late passengers.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marcosf - To a regular SR and now LX traveller, the decline in inflight service due to cost-cutting is fairly obvious. Security at Mumbai Terminal 2A is very tight - before check-in I was asked to remove the batteries from my alarm clock in my suitcase. There...
