Wednesday\u00a0newsletters<\/a>\u00a0always feature a\u00a0hotel<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0flight<\/a>\u00a0review.<\/p>\n I recently traveled to India & Bhutan. I will publish my trip reports over the coming weeks:<\/p>\n I recently flew First Class with Swiss<\/a>\u00a0from Zurich (Switzerland) to New Delhi (India). The flight was operated by the oldest Airbus A330-300 fleet in Swiss’ fleet. Overall, the experience was in line with my very high expectations. The cabin crew, 6-course lunch, amenities, and seat comfort were excellent. At the same time, there were some things that were not perfect, such as a rather disappointing pre-arrival meal and the open design of the suites (the latter is not a problem on Swiss’ newer Boeing 777s, where suites are equipped with sliding doors). Remarkably, the flight time from Zurich to New Delhi took 9 hours, almost 90 minutes longer than the normal flight time, since we made a huge detour over the Arabian Sea to avoid Pakistani airspace (which was closed due to a standoff with India).<\/p>\n Have you ever flown Swiss’ First Class?
