SWISS Updates 777 European Schedule…. A LOT!

SWISS Updates 777 European Schedule…. A LOT!

As SWISS begins to integrate their first 777s into the fleet in February, they’ve provided a detailed update covering the deployment of the aircraft on a variety of intra-European routes.  With this latest update, LX has added Prague, Athens, and Venice to the 777s schedule.

These routes are used primarily to give LX crews ample opportunity to familiarize themselves with the aircraft before they begin flying their normal long haul routes.

Please keep in mind that this schedule is extremely fluid.   The schedule is subject to change literally on a day to day basis due to delivery delays, crew training, etc.    For example, LX’s previously schedule service between Zurich – Hamburg, and Zurich – Malaga on Saturdays between February 27 and March 26 is now CANCELLED.

Even though risks exist for booking these flights due to the chance that schedules can be changed, this is a great opportunity to experience SWISS’ brand new 777s at continental European prices!
