Now Here's an Airline Worth Saving

by Lobstergirl Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 05 '01
Pros: The service, the food, the complimentary travel kits, the flatware
Cons: The lost luggage
I intended this to be a review of Swissair, but it may turn out to be more of a requiem. The Swiss airline known in past years for its high level of service and almost impeccable safety record (except for one flight that exploded in 1998 over Nova...

Disappointment in the skies

by Africana , Aug 13 '00
Pros: Clean and well-kept cabins, punctual schedules.
Cons: Skimpy in-flight entertainment options, half-hearted service, could do with better menus.
I had long heard the talk. Finally, thanks to a stunning overbooking stint by Emirates Airlines, I was able to test the "walk" long preached by friends and acquaintances. I was finally able to test first-hand the experience of flying with...

They will rub American inefficiency in your face

by virgovixen14 , Aug 18 '00
Pros: Good food, efficient, helpful staff, etc.
Cons: narrow seats in coach, higher ticket prices
Like all things Swiss, the airline Swissair is breath-takingly efficient, especially when one such as myself is used to the stress and irritation caused by American carriers. I am so used to feeling like some kind of caged animal being fed the slops...

by AB2000 , Aug 25 '00
Pros: food, service, very efficient

I was recently on a flight from the U.S. to Zurich because I was going to go to Barcelona and then Mumbai. On this first flight, I wasn't really impressed because the seats were pretty small, but the plus was that you had your in seat video screens and...

The Only Bad Thing From Switzerland

by duki , Nov 17 '01
Pros: Good schedule. Friendly staff.
Cons: Bad planes. Even worse food and entertainment. Expensive.
Swissair is obviously from Switzerland. As we have seen, Switzerland has proved to be a country with a lot of talents. They are free from wars, produce great watches and chocolates, but Swissair is an embarrassment to the country,...

Swissair: Maybe the best?

by KBlaha , Jul 21 '00
Pros: Excellent service, great food, good connections through Zurich and with Qualiflyer alliance
Cons: Announcements in four languages, Qualiflyer could be a little more generous
I fly alot, nearly 125,000 miles this year (2000) alone. One thing I have noticed is that essentially 95% of all flights, regardless of the carrier deliver the same thing, fairly consistently; namely that they get you and your luggage safely and...

The World's Second Best Airline

by ghati , Feb 14 '00
Pros: Great food, great service, new fleet of A330's
Cons: Not enough flights between USA and Switzerland
I have flown Swiss Air several times this year, and I have to say they are one of the most efficient and proficient airlines I have ever flown. The new A330's they fly out of Newark to Basel and JFK to Zurich are unbelievable. The new first class has...

More than you could ask for and kid-friendly too!

by jkhudson , Aug 06 '00
Pros: kid-friendly, lots of amenities
Cons: none that I can blame on the airlines!
Flying internationally isn't easy, especially with a 6-yr old child...and her cranky mother, but Swissair made the flight as smooth as possible and was very kid-friendly.

I recently flew to Holland to help my sister and niece return to the...

Great only in Europe

by unellie , Apr 13 '00
Pros: Great service when it actually is Swissair
Cons: No leg room, partnerships with less than stellar U.S. airlines
The airline prides itself on customer service. I have to admit, the attention and the attitude of the flight attendants is excellent. But that's where it stops.
I took a flight from Newark to Basel and was shocked when I entered the aircraft. The...
