Still working on improving my filming skills. Take it as you wish. EDIT: 2:15 Ok I never would have imagined that almost two years later I'd fly on that exact aircraft.
Flew in May to Las Vegas with the HB-JMF with Edelweiss from Zürich. My experience was so good with Edelweiss ! For me always Edelweiss in their lovely A340. 😍
This aircraft is nice , although the not so powerful CFM engines are just enough to take off. I think edelweiss will soon refresh there fleet with the beautiful a350 900. I flew in the Iberia 350 and was just amazing. Next month I fly with edelweiss to Tampa Florida and guess still will be using the 340-300😮
Looking to fly this exact route in August 2023. Anyone who flew this route previously able to book with miles or award travel? Feel like I should be able to book this on United, but it's not showing up.
I am not familiar with the miles/award system unfortunately. I didn’t find this trip directly through United. It was on Google flights and linked me to the United website.
@@K4Ediamond Thank you! Oh, so sounds like you did book via United. Good to know, I'm hoping that can be the case for me and they just haven't opened it up yet. Great video by the way!
@@ZackHeider Be aware that I didn’t look for the flights on United. I found them on Google flights, and in order for me to book them it directed me there. I never found any edelweiss flight by looking directly from the United website. Hope this helps. And thanks!
My experience was better than yours I flew on the same plane Seat 9K 12 hrs flight from SJO Costa Rica to ZRH. and that is a cookie made from the famous flower edelweiss

Lovely trip report. Liked and subscribed. The Captain was the highlight of this flight :) It's nice to have an opportunity to fly on an A340-300.
@@TripReportaviation Appreciate it!
The pre-landing treat is called "Biberli". Its some sort of gingerbread but with almonds.
note it has marzipan in it, which is normally created in swiss with pig fat
I'll be taking this very flight in several weeks, so it's nice to see what to expect (in a good way).

I live in Swizerland. The name of this delicious ckake is Biberli
Thanks! They’re very delicious and I hope edelweiss keeps serving it.
Nice trip report. Don't see Edelweiss often :)
Thank you! Glad I got to try the airline at least once. :)

This was actually the exact aircraft that was in this recent viral video of an Edelweiss A340 having trouble taking off.
Taking this tomorrow from Zurich and return on the 6th form Denver. Looking forward to the A340-300. THe flight doesnt seem too full?
The flight was almost full when I took it. Could be different for you though
Hey CL, did you book the flight via SWISS or were you able to book through United?
Nice video
Wine and coffee with the your dinner and breakfast would be perfect (just kidding). Much better than Swiss in general

@@reazyy9667 Hope you have a good flight. It’s definitely a flight id recommend.
The snack was probably a Biber, a typical Swiss snack
Looks like my lufthansa meal charlotte-Munich
Yeah Lufthansa and Edelweiss have similar meals
Turns out I was flying at around the same time you were lol
Where did you fly?
@@K4Ediamond American 737-800 (DTW-DFW) JAL 777-300ER (DFW-HND) JAL 787-8 (HND-ITM)
First time I flew a non American/European airline on long haul, it was a really good flight
@@Yukis.aviation Really, interesting. I’ll be taking some AA 737s later this summer!

Interesting. I didn’t know edelweiss flew to Costa Rica. You said you were in seat 9K. That’s economy max, right?
Yeah. Airplane food isn’t that good
From my experience
Haha I remember you saying that on my very first trip reports in 2019
The little crackers are great
It’s their fruit and others don’t sit that well with me
