Swiss

In the last 6 years I have been visiting Switzerland on numerous occasions. I went there either flying from London, or from Frankfurt. I have nearly always used Swissair because they take off from City airport, which is very close to where I work, in Canary Wharf, and not too far from where I live too, meaning that I save plenty of time compared to the journeys I do from Heathrow. Swissair was bankrupt few years ago and was rescued by the Government, this was a major shame for the Swiss people. Having used only European flights, I cannot comment on their long haul flights. In terms of Service, staff are mainly German, which means that you get that ...  Read the complete review

When 6 months I was told I would begin working with our clients based in Switzerland, I recalled that their national airline had gone bust! This airline is now called Swiss. It was a major embarassment for the Government! I normally fly with Swiss to both Zurich and Geneve (I go to Malpensa with British Airways and then drive to Lugano from there) Swiss fly from Heathrow and from City. I prefer city and I book my flights in and out of City Airport. the flight to Geneve is not very busy in business, while the one to Zurich is normally full both in business and economy, at least in the evening when I normally fly. I ...  Read the complete review

Swissair, the official airline of Switzerland, was the dominating airline of the 1970’s and 1980’s. Everyone wanted to travel with Swissair for its utmost punctuality and excellent service. I can never forget my first experience with Swissair when I flew with them on a flight from Dakar to Geneva in 1972. I was only 8 years old and if I remember correctly the plane was a propeller engine one. I can never forget the excellent service I received, even at that time, being an un-accompanied minor. One other thing that always struck me was the huge white cross on the tail of the plane and all the toys and gifts that we always seemed to get. I ...  Read the complete review

Unfortunately, Swissair had to suspend flights yesterday, although they will be running again tomorrow. I travelled with Swissair from London to Zurich five weeks ago, and it was a pleasant experience. The modern Airbus A320's are slightly wider than the Boeing's used by other airlines on the route, so there's about an extra inch and a half width per seat. It might not sound a lot, but if you're in the middle seat, it's heaven sent! LCD screens are spaced out throughout the cabin, providing an informative map, as well as current speed, altitude and outside temperature. The cabin crew were friendly, and I had some ...  Read the complete review

I have been to Switzerland on holiday for the past three years and am very much looking forward to my holiday there again this year. I am always so impressed with their general approach to everything when I'm there. It makes England look disgraceful. The same goes for Swissair. The flights are absolutely brilliant, they are usually on schedule. The cabin crew are very polite and friendly towards the customers, and always do everything they can to make you as comfortable as possible. The planes are clean and pleasant and there is never any litter, they are spotless. The food is Swiss, surprisingly enough! If you like Swiss food then ...  Read the complete review
