    I was on an A220 from LHR > ZRH and enjoyed the mini screen with the flight map. Also, some sort of a chocolate mousse for desert. Review on my channel 😉

      I love the mini screen! So cute!
      I'll have a look at your video. Despite the scary SkyTeam association! 8-)

    I think that Swiss are the best airline in Lufthansa group, the airport in Zurich is amazing even better then Munich wich I like.
    By the you have live cooking in Istanbul lounge to.

    • @MarkusTravels

      Agree on both points! Though I miss the TK lounge at the old Istanbul airport. That was a cool place.

    The Swiss A220 offers the best Economy class in Europe as well. The most comfortable seats, plenty of leg room, and very professional cabin crew

    • @MarkusTravels
      @MarkusTravels  2 місяці тому

      I agree with this. Though airBaltric, with an all-A220 fleet, is also lovely in Economy.

    what's all those drops in the lavatory? another reason to always wear SHOES

    • @MarkusTravels
      @MarkusTravels  2 місяці тому

      I didn't even notice the drops until you pointed them out. I'll make sure to have dry floors in future videos! Unless the condition was nasty when I entered (foreshadowing a train video I worked on today).

    An airline whose business class seat is the same as economy class is definitely not a good business class. Most europe airlines like this.

      Yes, this is standard for intra-European travel these days.
