Last week during an awards ceremony in Sardinia, Lufthansa and SWISS were acknowledged for providing ‘best in class’ passenger experiences.
SWISS was recognized for having the best Business Class product of any European airline. This included both SWISS’ European business class as well as long-haul service.
Lufthansa took home awards for ‘Europe’s Leading Airline’ as well as ‘Europe’s Leading Airport Lounges’. The lounge award was specific to their lounges in Frankfurt. Hard to compete against them when you have the First Class Terminal and First Class Lounges providing outstanding passenger experiences.

SWISS has announced an enhanced First Class Menu that will feature certain themes throughout the year for those flying ‘LX’ First Class from Switzerland to anywhere in the world.
The SWISS ‘Connoisseur Experience’ is a new seasonally themed program that will be in addition to the existing First Class menu and will offer passengers unique dining options. The program is set to run 4 times over the next year, each for a 2 week period.
The first installment is set to roll out on September 1 and will be known as the ‘SWISS Steakhouse’. Passengers will be treated to a menu with several salad options along with their choice of Australian Wagyu Steak, an Irish Angus filet or a corn-fed Chicken breast. Sides will include Au Gratin potatoes, baked potatoes, spinach, and grilled corn. This menu will be in effect until September 15.
Then in November, the menu will shift take advantage of Truffle season including Truffle Carpaccio, Truffle Soup or a Truffle infused pasta dish.
February will see a focus on Seafood which will include Lobster, Crayfish and Coquilles St-Jacques.
May will feature a Caviar lovers ‘dream menu’ with different types of caviar including Prunier, Sevruga and Oona.
Though specific dates for the November, February and May programs have yet to be announced, it would not surprise me if it did not follow the same schedule as September’s and take placed from the 1st to 15th of each respective month.
Bon Appetit!

Most of you know that plane spotting is a serious hobby for me and I can honestly say that Zurich is among my favorite places to spot. The diversity of traffic and proximity to the runways allows for some fantastic shots.
