Swiss is running a 2-for-1 fare sale for Business Class travel within SWISS’ European network. This special is in effect between 18 December and 22 December. Most fares from Zurich range between CHF799 (Zurich to Dusseldorf) and CHF999 (Zurich to Prague) for both passengers, making it a true 2 for 1 fare. The best fares are from Basel with Basel-Hamburg costing CHF599 and Basel-Prague costing CHF699.
For those of you unfamiliar with SWISS’ European Business Class service, the main benefit of traveling in Business Class is having the middle seat empty, 2 checked bags at no charge and upgraded meals compared to economy. You’ll also have access to Business Lounges in airports where they are available.
From the bookings that I sampled, they are being issued as “Z” fares, which means that they will earn bonus elite qualifying miles in most Star Alliance frequent flyer programs.

I agree with golfingboy. If you are *G you already get lounge access and free checked bags. Having an empty middle seat is not worth spending over $1000 for an intra-Europe flight, even for 2 people.
I would never pay a premium for the lousy business class product European airlines offer. Only if the price is exactly the same as the Y fare.
It is no wonder those cabins are usually empty most of the time. They should start giving complimentary upgrades for their HON members and maybe SEN members.
dang those are painfully high prices for a 1.5-2 hr flight just for a blocked out middle seat, even after 2-for-1 discount.
