Received an email from Swiss International Airlines this morning announcing that starting January 27, 2011 their flights between Montreal and Zurich would be operated by their "new" Airbus A330-300.
Why does this matter? The interior of this plane is absolutely stunning, and their service is top notch! This is a pretty bold statement to be making seeing as I have only flown on this plane, operated by Swiss once, in 2009. For that flight my wife and I were in First Class between New York and Zurich, and although that might skew my feelings about their product, it was the best all around experience I have had in the air!
Swiss is promoting in the email I received (attached at the bottom of this post) their new business seats that are on this plane, and from talking to people who have flown in them, they are some of the best in the business. Couple that with better than average food, a great IFE system, and friendly flight attendants, and I would say you have a great combination.
In economy, the seats are a little bit slimmer than those we are used to, which is supposed to give you a bit more leg room. I didn't wander that far back on my short flight to Europe, but I did notice that they have seat back TVs and power at every seat.
