The airline offers very cheap airfares and special offers on a range of flights, and for the cheapest airfares make sure you book your ticket through Major Travel.

Swiss Airlines recently joined the Star Alliance, which is the world's largest airline network, allowing it to offer its passengers an even greater range of flight destinations and great value airfares.

In fact, Swiss Airlines was named as having the best in-flight crew for flights to North and South America by Germany's Business Traveller magazine.

Passengers can choose between the luxury and extra comfort of Swiss first class travel, the comfort and calm atmosphere of Swiss business class or the friendly service of Swiss economy class.

Those willing to spend a little bit more on their airfare for the extra relaxation of business class can enjoy the new Taste of Switzerland culinary concept on many Swiss Airlines flights.

With food created by world-renowned chefs, the concept will tantalise passengers' taste buds with fine local ingredients and recipes from featured culinary regions.

A web check-in service has been introduced for passengers on certain Swiss Airlines routes who hold electronic tickets, allowing check-in to take place over the internet and saving waiting in queues at the airline desk before the flight.

Swiss Airlines operates its flights on a modern fleet of 69 aircraft, using 18 aeroplanes for long-haul flights and 51 for medium and short-haul flights.

Long-haul aircraft include the new Airbus A340 model, as well as A330, while among the aeroplanes it uses for its medium and short-haul flights are the Airbus A320 and A321 models.

Swiss Economy
You can identify a SWISS aircraft by its livery and interior. But your first true impression of the flight ahead comes with the welcome extended toward you by the flight attendants – and the various economy class extras that are “typically SWISS”.

The flight attendants undergo a challenging selection and training process. They speak at least two languages each. In fact, most of them speak three and some are fluent in four or five tongues. Combining charm and efficiency to great effect, they are consistently selected as award winners on an international front. Such as: Selected as best inflight crews for flights to North and South America by the readers of Germany’s „Business Traveller“ magazine.

Less space for the seat more space for you
Although the Swiss Economy cabin is not as spacious as our Swiss Business and Swiss First that doesn’t mean you have to worry about having to squeeze into your seat. SWISS have already accounted for that by reducing by 5cm the thickness of the seat back in the Airbus A340‘s. This translates into extra space for you.

Hot Towels - Shortly before landing SWISS pass out hot towels, a service normally associated with Business Class.

Swiss Chocolate - A farewell goodie to sweeten your onward journey.
