  • On the way back from a work trip to the U.K., I took advantage of an opportunity to upgrade to First Class on Swiss' A340. In a stroke of luck, I ended up being the only passenger in the cabin, where I was fed and watered until I could barely move.

He’s also a master at producing videos, animations, voiceover, editing, effects, colour grading. And this isn’t even his full time job. He’s going to be a great doctor you just know that.

But after awhile I travelled international again going back to my home country and we weren’t business class anymore because my dad said the company paid for our flight from the first one🥲🥲🥲🥲 I felt sad and annoyed from that whole flight back 😅 but just got used to it now.

    I once had the pleasure to fly from Zürich to JFK and back in business class bc my father (senator status) got the flights for free (traveled a lot bc of work) - whole different experience than normal economic; the head of staff on the plane greets you personally after boarding and thanks you for flying with Swiss Airline, chats with you and is even more attentive than usual. The senator’s lounge (pre Corona, 2018) was simply great (food, comfortable seats, great amenities and view!) - when we flew back from New York I quickly changed from shorts and a t shirt into a blouse, leather flats, tights and a skirt because I looked/ felt so out of place in the senator’s lounge 😂

    I'm 74 years old, retired and absolutely no interest in travel. I've had more than my share of domestic and international air travel or otherwise in my life. There is absolutely nothing that would motivate me to travel more than about a one or two hour drive from my home.
    So why the hell would I watch the full video for 40 minutes? Or why would I bother to even click on it? I'm not sure. I've had a few cocktails and perhaps I was fantasizing to see how first class (rare but not unknown in my previous life) or business class has changed since I retired? And why did I bother watching the full video? I think I found your narrative compelling and soothing.

When I compared the luxury hotel experiences I've had for the dollar, I felt grateful for so many TH-camrs helping me to see I should NEVER spend my money on First Class travel...until this video. For what you got for your upgrade that was the ultimate travel experience. You did a wonderful job of filming and showcasing the top-tier quality of service Swiss provides. THIS was something that made me think about treating myself to in my lifetime IF they continue their first class service.

    A thoughtful, nuanced review that managed to capture all the subtle details of flying SWISS extraordinarily well. Having flown with them consistently for the last 15 years, I can say that their dedication to bringing a Swiss experience to flying has now been refined to an art.
    One thing I would add regarding Zürich Airport: normally flights to North America operate out of Gates E, but due to the pandemic, the entire terminal has been temporarily closed and the flights are operating out of Gates D. The airport train that takes you between the two, however, usually plays the sounds of the Swiss Alps (i.e. cow bells and mooing, alpenhorn, singing) and is an experience in and of itself.
