  • On the way back from a work trip to the U.K., I took advantage of an opportunity to upgrade to First Class on Swiss' A340. In a stroke of luck, I ended up being the only passenger in the cabin, where I was fed and watered until I could barely move.

But after awhile I travelled international again going back to my home country and we weren’t business class anymore because my dad said the company paid for our flight from the first one🥲🥲🥲🥲 I felt sad and annoyed from that whole flight back 😅 but just got used to it now.

Although I wonder how much longer Swiss will do a non-stop flight to Montreal: it doesn't sound terribly profitable for them, even though Swiss maintained their typically high standards in first class, even with just one passenger.

The senator’s lounge (pre Corona, 2018) was simply great (food, comfortable seats, great amenities and view!) - when we flew back from New York I quickly changed from shorts and a t shirt into a blouse, leather flats, tights and a skirt because I looked/ felt so out of place in the senator’s lounge 😂

    I'm 74 years old, retired and absolutely no interest in travel. I've had more than my share of domestic and international air travel or otherwise in my life. There is absolutely nothing that would motivate me to travel more than about a one or two hour drive from my home.
    So why the hell would I watch the full video for 40 minutes? Or why would I bother to even click on it? I'm not sure. I've had a few cocktails and perhaps I was fantasizing to see how first class (rare but not unknown in my previous life) or business class has changed since I retired? And why did I bother watching the full video? I think I found your narrative compelling and soothing.

    A thoughtful, nuanced review that managed to capture all the subtle details of flying SWISS extraordinarily well. Having flown with them consistently for the last 15 years, I can say that their dedication to bringing a Swiss experience to flying has now been refined to an art.
    One thing I would add regarding Zürich Airport: normally flights to North America operate out of Gates E, but due to the pandemic, the entire terminal has been temporarily closed and the flights are operating out of Gates D. The airport train that takes you between the two, however, usually plays the sounds of the Swiss Alps (i.e. cow bells and mooing, alpenhorn, singing) and is an experience in and of itself.

There are several UA-camrs reviewing travel and there is a...tone to them that basically convinced me that the price tag for ANY first class doesn't make economic sense. When I compared the luxury hotel experiences I've had for the dollar, I felt grateful for so many UA-camrs helping me to see I should NEVER spend my money on First Class travel...until this video. For what you got for your upgrade that was the ultimate travel experience. You did a wonderful job of filming and showcasing the top-tier quality of service Swiss provides.
