Late last week, SWISS announced that it was paring back their European timetable with the removal of 4 destinations beginning in April.
Specifically:
Geneva – Belgrade effective April 16 is CANCELLED.
Geneva – Copenhagen effective April 17 is CANCELLED.
Geneva – Sarajevo effective April 16 is CANCELLED.
Zurich – Helsinki effective April 30 is CANCELLED.
In the final ‘installment’ covering the opening of SWISS’ new lounges in Zurich, I’ll take a look inside their Business Class Lounge. This new lounge, like the FIRST and SENATOR Lounges are located inside the airport’s ‘E’ Concourse.
The Business Lounge is the largest of the 3, covering 13,000 square feet and can hold up to 200 visitors at once. It makes sense for this lounge to be the biggest, since it is the ‘easiest’ of all the 3 lounges to get in.
Like the SENATOR lounge, the Business Class Lounge offers guests 4 shower rooms as well as an upgraded food service. Hot foods are prepared fresh in front of guests, and cold buffet offerings are present as well. A self-serve bar is available as well and guests have access to an outdoor terrace.
Thanks again to VielFliegerTreff’s Ralf (RCS) for sharing his photos…….

Last week was an especially busy one for SWISS.
Not only did they open 3 brand-new lounges inside of Zurich’s ‘E’ Concourse, they also took delivery of their first Boeing 777.
Most of you are probably aware of the delivery and may have seen some of the ‘official’ photos. However I think there may be a few shots in here that might be new to you. A friend of mine, Ralf (RCS) from ‘VielFliegerTreff’ kindly shared his photos from his visit to Zurich to specifically tour the 777 as well as to see the new lounges. You’ll see below that his photos go beyond the basic ‘vanity shots’ and take a detailed look at the aircraft’s interior and cabins. I’ll let the shots tell the rest of the story!
