A flight on SWISS is a delightful taste of Swiss culture that will put you at ease with nonstop service from eight North American gateways to Zurich, with quick and easy connections to over 100 destinations around the world.

Get a sneak peek at the Swiss touch brought to life, with premium travel experiences exclusive to SWISS.

Culinary Indulgences

For decades, SWISS has been an industry leader in providing inspired in-flight meals, delivering authentic flavors straight from Switzerland. On long-haul flights departing from Zurich, guests in SWISS First and SWISS Business can experience the SWISS Taste of Switzerland culinary program. Every three months, the program features a new award-winning top chef to curate menus that highlight regional and seasonal cuisine from one of Switzerland’s 26 cantons, accompanied by wines and cheeses from the region, as well.

The current cycle features cuisine from the canton of Geneva. Michelin-starred chef Olivier Jean of L’Atelier Robuchon brings his French roots and diverse experiences as a chef in Taipei, Shanghai, Paris, New York, Miami, and more to the SWISS Taste of Switzerland program. Menu highlights include trout tartare with trout caviar, veal filet with truffle sauce, and the chef’s signature mashed potatoes. The experience is closer to fine dining than your typical in-flight meal service.

These premier epicurean experiences are also present in SWISS Premium Economy, where guests can dine on three-course meals inspired by the SWISS Taste of Switzerland program, along with complimentary fresh coffee, Swiss beer, and wine. In SWISS Economy, there are several hot meals to choose from, including vegetarian offerings by Hiltl, the world’s oldest vegetarian restaurant. Those in need of a light bite can snack on beloved Swiss classics like Gruyere cheese, followed by a delectable piece of genuine Swiss chocolate. Simply put: the culinary heights aboard a SWISS flight are unmatched.

A Special Sense of Service

The core Swiss values of hospitality and attention to detail go well beyond the SWISS dining experience. This guest-centric thinking is present even before the flight: passengers heading through Zurich’s internationally renowned airport have access to multiple SWISS lounges in various classes, all with bespoke touches and fine dining offerings designed for stress-free traveling. In the SWISS First Lounge, you’ll find two a la carte restaurants, a full champagne bar, and mini-suites for private calls. For early morning travelers, the SWISS Arrival Lounge features showers and private beds to help you feel rejuvenated. To get away from the hustle and bustle of your travel day, head to the unique and rustic SWISS Alpine Lounge for a charming respite. In addition to the multiple SWISS Business lounges, SWISS Business passengers can take advantage of time-saving features like personal check-in counters and priority boarding to ensure a seamless journey to hundreds of airports all over Europe — and the rest of the world.

Each SWISS flight is anchored by a meticulously trained crew that upholds strong safety standards and is always ready to assist with anything you may need. Onboard, SWISS First passengers receive a complimentary amenity kit from Bally, a luxury fashion brand. Inside the kit, and in the plane’s spacious, upscale lavatories, are natural cosmetics from iconic Swiss brand Soeder to keep you feeling fresh, even on long-haul flights. Meanwhile, SWISS Business passengers can enjoy an amenity kit from renowned Swiss Army knife brand Victorinox, complete with toiletries, eye mask, ear plugs, and socks. Paired with attentive service and on-demand perks like fresh Nespresso and Alpine-sourced water, you’ll feel fully taken care of as you relax, recharge, and enjoy your trip.

Innovative Comfort For a Smooth,
Restful Journey

In addition to groundbreaking culinary programs and a refreshing sense of hospitality, SWISS is known for an all-encompassing sense of comfort throughout their aircrafts.

In SWISS First, seats turn into private mini-suites, complete with an ottoman that converts to an extra seat and a roomy, veneered oak table — the perfect setting for your gourmet meal. In the exclusive SWISS Business experience, you’ll find discrete, generous seats that feature one-of-a-kind air cushions, built-in massage functions, fully-adjustable firmness settings, and the ability to turn into a lie-flat bed for peak relaxation. SWISS Premium Economy is also a cut above the rest, with detail-focused touches like increased legroom, plush hardshell seats with adjustable headrests, and reclining settings carefully designed to leave neighboring passengers undisturbed.

On the horizon? Even more innovation. In 2025, SWISS will introduce the Airbus A350 into its fleet, featuring a revolutionary human-centric lighting system designed to help international travelers reduce jet lag. Additionally, 2025 will see the arrival of the SWISS Senses program, where SWISS First passengers can experience indulgent, individually-tailored perks like fully private suites with locking doors, personal wardrobe closets, and ambient, customizable lightning designs. (Passengers in SWISS Business can also enjoy suite-like seats.) The cabin furnishings themselves will even echo the color palette of Switzerland's architectural and natural marvels (think warm Bordeaux, or subdued and comforting beige) to complete the immersive experience.

Space For Work and Play

The relaxing nature of a SWISS flight experience is equally conducive to both rest and productivity. Easily accessible WiFi and spacious tray tables make for a clean, efficient mobile office where you can catch up on work and stay connected. The new SWISS Connect WiFi packages make SWISS one of the first airlines in Europe to provide access to a free "messaging" wi-fi package for the full duration of your flight. Access WhatsApp, Apple iMessage, and more, entirely free of charge.

When you’ve checked everything off your to-do list (or even before, we won’t tell), there are myriad entertainment options at your fingertips. Passengers can choose from hundreds of television and movie options, from beloved classics to exciting new releases, and view them on high-quality touch screens. Additionally, hundreds of playlists, audiobooks, and podcasts are available on-demand, along with a wide selection of complimentary e-journals and the digital SWISS magazine for anyone looking to catch up on news or travel trends.

As if that weren’t enough to keep you occupied, SWISS also offers passengers the option to purchase duty-free luxury items, right from their seats. Powered by Worldshop, the duty-free shop has everything from designer watches to skincare products to authentic Swiss treats from legendary brands like Gottlieber. Whether you are buying a souvenir to remember your journey, or gift shopping for an upcoming holiday, SWISS makes the process simple and seamless. It’s just one of the many small touches that make a SWISS journey just as rewarding and enjoyable as the destination itself.
