Additionally, SWISS is launching a new Business Class service concept for all long-haul flights, which brings greater individuality to the air travel experience.
For the next six months, SWISS Business and First Class guests will enjoy selections from the best of ‘SWISS Taste of Switzerland.’ Launched in 2002, the award-winning culinary program has featured 70 guest chefs drawn from all of Switzerland’s cantons.

As previously mentioned, SWISS is now offering Business Class travelers a new and more individualized service concept on all long-haul flights. In addition to the airline’s traditional ‘restaurant’ style multi-course meal service, guests can now take advantage of a new ‘casual dining’ option where they receive their starter, main course and dessert together at a time of their own choosing. Additionally, the carrier’s pre-landing service has been replaced by a new ‘SWISS Bistro’ concept. The new bistro menu invites guests to choose from a range of delicious hot items such as a Swiss prime burger with coleslaw salad, as well as cold items and snacks according to their individual tastes. The SWISS Bistro menu is available at any time after the main meal service until shortly before landing.
