10 years ago, SWISS launched their popular “Taste Of Switzerland” on-board dining program that has been enjoyed by long haul Business and First Class travelers. Every 3 months over the past 10 years, SWISS had introduced a new chef and cuisine that sought to bring a touch of Switzerland to their passengers. Over the course of this program, SWISS has introduced over 40 chefs and their unique menus. The focus of the program has been to use Chefs, recipes and ingredients sourced from Switzerland and allow them to act as Ambassadors for Swiss cuisine and culture.
To celebrate the anniversary, SWISS will look back over the 10 years of the “Taste Of Switzerland” and will bring back some of the all time favorites from the program. This “Special Edition” collection of Chefs and cuisines will be introduced to passengers traveling on SWISS long-haul flights in Business and First Class between now and February.
If you are planning on flying SWISS during this special promotion, you are in for a treat!

During their current Winter Fare Sale, Lufthansa and Swiss have some of the lowest fares that I’ve ever seen between Moscow and New York. Granted, Moscow may not be the most popular winter destination but for fares that range between $460 and $500, its a very attractive opportunity. These sub-$500 fares were readily available throughout February and March.
Sometimes with fare sales, you need to be mindful of the airline operating the flights. Many times the lowest fares offered by Lufthansa are for flights operated by United or Air Canada and you miss out on the great Lufthansa, Swiss or Austrian hospitality while onboard. However in this case, most of the Moscow fares are for flights that will actually be operated by either Lufthansa, Swiss or Austrian, making the experience that much better!
As part of this fare sale, other cities throughout Europe are included and the prices range from $700-$1000 which is typical for this time of year. The Moscow fare is the really attractive one out of all the options. Just be mindful that the miles earned for this fare will generally be 50% of the actual miles flow.
