Over the past 2 days, SWISS has released updates to their 777 timetable that includes a new destination, an extension of service, and a delay in service.
First the bad news:
SWISS has decided to postpone the 777 on flights between Zurich and San Francisco. Originally, the 777 was set to begin flying the route on August 30, but now that has been pushed back to February 16, 2017. At that point, the 777 will fly the route on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Their A340-300 will continue to fly the route on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Now the good news:
Swiss has decided to extend the 777’s presence in Montreal. Originally the plane was scheduled to end ‘YUL’ service on August 28. This has now been extended to October 28. The 777 will fly the route on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The A330-300 will fly the route on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Now the better news:
SWISS will be bringing the 777 to Miami beginning October 30. Current plans has the aircraft flying the route on 4 flights each week (SWISS currently plans 14 flights per week to MIA). So specifically, here is where you can find the 777 flying between Zurich and Miami:
SWISS flight LX064 (ZRH-MIA) on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
SWISS flight LX065 (MIA-ZRH) on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
All other fights between Zurich and Miami will be operated by an Airbus A330-300.
