In flight: Short-haul business class on Swiss

In flight: Short-haul business class on Swiss

Posted by Seth Miller on 20 April 2012 in Flying, Review, Trip Reports | 1,676 Views

Continuing the long trek home from Singapore, I transferred in Rome from Thai Airways to Swiss for the last bit of the trip. First up was a couple hours with the short-haul product, flying from Rome to Zurich. Like pretty much all short-haul flights in Europe this one was just coach seating with the middle seat blocked and upgraded catering. And like most such flights it was completely uneventful, probably a good thing.

Shortly after takeoff breakfast was served. Fruit, yogurt and a croissant were all tasty enough, though nothing special.

And, because they are Swiss, there is the chocolate bar distributed towards the end of the flight.

In the middle, aside from the food, was the opportunity to look out the window as we flew over the Alps. One of my favorite aerial views, to be sure. It doesn’t get much better than this all that often.

Easy flying with beautiful views along the way. Not much to complain about at all.
