SWISS A340 Business Class - Montreal to Zürich

  • Опубликовано: 3 июн 2024
  • Marking the first international trip since April, my friend Lauren and I take a SWISS A340-300 in their newly refurbished Business Class on our way to England for a work trip. At the time of this flight, Swiss was one of the very few airlines to still offer their full range of on-board service on trans-Atlantic flights. This being the case, on top of the fact that our flight was very empty, it made for a very comfortable red-eye flight.

I was going to pick up on the point that Lauren wearing vegan trousers opted for the beef, but this would be old news.

Hope Lauren enjoyed her time in Europe and thanks once again for all your hard work in bringing this review to us. 👍

    Haven't flown with SwissAir but I only have good things to say about them. My boyfriend flew with them last year from Zurich to DXB. Now due to covid, Dubai requires a PCR test which he had but was not translated in English or Arabic so he was not allowed to board the plane. It was entirely our fault for not checking thoroughly but heck.. Swiss air gave him a hotel voucher to stay for the night and even had his flight rebooked ALL FREE OF COST!!!

    Happy that They are still flying & proud to be part of them before. Swiss, on most routes, offers very tasty meals. They’re good at culinary. One of the very few that offered warm bread rolls. They are one of the best European carriers that offers consistent good crew service. As you said & as usual, you’re cynically annoying 😜 it’s in your blood.

    Agree completely with your reference at 12:25 to enjoying a glass of Port wine. I had the privilege of enjoying a decade-old Tawny on a Lufthansa FFH-YYZ Business class flight last month and it was excellent for flavour, even at that altitude. If you are a history buff like myself, look up the history of how port came to be located in Portugal, and it’s fascinating connection with the wars between the English and the French. Keep up the effort on graphics, useful time stamps, and the pithy commentary.

Having been previously based in MIA, I just disliked how short the flight was. At least from MIA with an 8h flight you can managed 4-5h of solid sleep. From YUL, I left you get 2h if you're lucky. Arrive in ZRH feeling like a zombie.

    Salzburg - cutest small city with a major music festival every summer. Vienna - one of the world’s most beautiful cities with plenty to see and plenty to do…I mean right up there with top European cities. The Danube and gorgeous story book towns along its shores. Spectacular skiing. The Tyrolean Alps are gorgeous in all seasons. ( Vienna is a very comfortable train ride to Budapest ). The Viennese architecture - esp early twentieth century. Vienna - a definite must visit city. Great country…
