Travellers with Swiss enjoy a wide range of service options well before they actually take off. One example is its mobile service (mobile.swiss.com), which lets passengers buy tickets and check in on their mobile phone before leaving for the airport. It’s also possible for customers to have their boarding pass sent to their mobile, while those who have previously created an online profile can save time booking flights.
The airline strives to make the time customers spend at the airport as pleasant as possible. Passengers travelling in first and business classes can enjoy spacious lounges along with ‘Miles and More’ frequent fliers and Star Alliance members, who also gain all the benefits of membership of the world’s biggest airline network.
Sustainable in style
Thanks to fleet investment and innovations in cabin interior design, customers now fly in greater style than ever. The Airbus A330-200 will be gradually replaced by the Airbus A330-300, which is equipped with totally new seats in all three classes.
The new first class cabin sets new benchmarks in comfort, privacy and design elegance. Each seat’s spacious surroundings and individually adjustable side walls offer extensive privacy. The unique guest seat, meanwhile – complete with backrest and armrests – lets travellers dine and work at a spacious table with a fellow traveller.
The seat can be reclined at the touch of a button into a lie-flat bed more than two metres long, complete with down duvet. Further at-seat extras include a 23 inch flatscreen television – the largest currently available worldwide – as well as ample work surfaces and stowage facilities.
Business class seats can be reclined to a fully lie-flat position, while its adjustable air cushion can be set to be as firm as a futon or as soft as a four-poster. The seat also features USB and iPod sockets. The new cabin layout provides greater room and privacy at every seat, with most seats directly accessible from the aisle. Business class is a fine example of the flag carrier’s environmental and sustainability innovations: the air cushion alone makes the seat some four kilograms lighter than its foam-filled equivalent, saving in fuel consumption and the resulting carbon dioxide emissions.
Connected to the world
SWISS offers travellers a well-coordinated route network of 73 destinations worldwide from Zurich Airport, a popular air transport hub in the heart of Europe as well as from Geneva and Basel. Zurich Airport is home to state of the art infrastructure and offers short walking distances and ideal transfer times. The airline continues to invest in the future: this June it added San Francisco to the route network, and as of 2014 it will replace its European Avro RJ100 fleet with the introduction of the newest generation of Bombardier CSeries aircraft, providing high levels of passenger comfort, significantly quieter engines and lower CO2 emissions.
