SWISS has updated their timetable to reflect the assignment of their 777 aircraft to 3 European destinations during this coming Winter.   This has happened each year since the addition of the 777 to LX’s fleet as it provides an opportunity for SWISS to continue to train and certify crews for the 777 aircraft.

This winter’s  777 destinations include Geneva, Hannover, and Vienna and will operate as follows:

Zurich – Geneva will see the 777 between December 4 and March 23 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays.   Flight number LX2802 from Zurich, and Flight LX2807 from Geneva.

Zurich – Hannover will see the 777 between December 4 and March 22 on Mondays and Thursdays.  Flight number LX816 from Zurich, and Flight LX817 from Hannover.

Zurich – Vienna will see the 777 between December 4 and March 22 on Mondays and Thursdays.  Flight number LX1582 from Zurich, and Flight LX1853 from Vienna.

Now before you get excited about being able to book a First Class ticket for these short haul flights, SWISS will not open the ‘F’ cabin for booking.    However, passengers booking Business Class tickets will be able to enjoy the 777’s Business Class cabin.

There have been anecdotes from past years that passengers have been allowed to sit the ‘F’ cabin, but that would be at the discretion of the purser.   From personal experiences in seeing how SWISS pursers behave with even the most trivial matters, I would be surprised if any of these stories are true.
