It was excellent. Great airline. Very attentive staff. Seats are a little tight, but it is the world we live in now. Unless you get lucky and get the bulk head seats or are wealthy enough for first class it is cramped. Overall an excellent experience.

When leaving Florence we arrived at the airport 2 1/2 hours before our flight. There were 100's of people waiting to check in for several different international flights and only 2 people working at the check in counter issuing tickets and checking bags. Many people were missing their flights and trying to figure out how to get home. We waited over 3 hours on the lines along with most of the other people on our flight. There were several altercations between travelers and ticketing agents. I am not sure if they held the flight or if we put on a later flight running through the airport to board. There were no other people in the airport at security or shops or anywhere just the crazy international flights area. When we arrived in Switzerland for our connection we were very late and again running through the airport to barely make our connection. When we did arrive in Newark our luggage did not. Also I had ordered a gluten free meal when I booked the flight and they did not have my request so I was unable to eat on the plane. If you are asking about allergy meals they should be available or I would have brought my own food on the plane. On a positive note, the blankets and pillow were a nice comfort for the long flight. They also checked our carryon for free so on our sprint through the airports we weren't dragging bags with us too.

Not enough food - Very bad for a long haul. The crew put 10 sandwiches on a plate for people to grab between “meals” they went in 5 seconds. people were scrambling to be able to grab one. This happened twice (20 in total for maybe 150 passengers). People were starving! Seats are way to small even for me 5 foot 7 and 140 pounds. Entertainment was good. If you ask people to pay to check in your luggage then we travel with smaller luggage we can carry in the plane but then DON’T ask us to check them in for free. It’s ridiculous! it was on time which make it a good flight, if it wasn’t, it would have been a very bad flight.

One of the flight attendants was incredibly rude. She knocked into me five times and never apologized once. She spoke harshly to several other people as well. Unfortunately, I did not catch her name.

It wasn’t communicated that on the layover, we needed to again have our documents checked so after waiting in long line to board, we were sent back to another documents check line and then back to the long boarding line. It wasn’t a big deal but something to mention. Once on board the crew was phenomenal. Very friendly and constantly working and serving. I don’t think they got a moments rest during the 10+ hour flight. Best service on a flight in years….hands down above & beyond Delta airlines where I have my miles awards membership. Very pleased with Swiss Air.

Swiss shouldn't operate another second until they have their customer service figured out. You can't reach anyone at the company. 0 accommodations for you in case you need to make changes.

I upgraded my seat to business class for $800 and then at checking at the gate charged an extra $200 for my luggage. Saw this happening to other passengers as well. Being charged extra too. I think business class should include the luggage. Another way the Swiss has their hand in your pocket. I was unhappy. Can’t leave my clothes behind!

Only one improvement needed. The boarding process was chaotic. After pre-boarding was completed, the entire remaining number of passengers (lots of them, big aircraft) were allowed to board without separating into logical groups or by row numbers. Slowed things down with crowded aisles, people trying to get by people trying to stow overhead luggage, getting situated, etc. Never had this happen in recent history on any other airline.

Overview of SWISS
SWISS offers several different travel classes for passengers to choose from, including Economy, Business, and First. Economy provides travelers with a free carry-on, a hot meal, complimentary drinks, and access to the plane’s entertainment system, while Business offers a seat that turns into a bed, a gourmet meal, free alcoholic beverages, and the option of checking two bags for free. If you select First Class, you will be given items, such as moisturizer and pajamas, as well as priority boarding.
Although based in Switzerland, this airline offers many flights all across the world, including throughout Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa. If you plan on traveling to Asia, you can consider visiting a popular country like Japan or Thailand. For those interested in flying to Africa, there are destinations such as Tunisia, South Africa, and Ghana.
To offer as many flight paths as possible, SWISS has codeshare agreements with many other airlines, including Air France, Eurowings, and LOT Polish Airlines. Additionally, the company has created interline agreements with additional airlines, such as Delta Air Lines, Iberia, and Precision Air.
Out of the 89 planes that make up this company’s fleet, almost all of them are either Airbus or Boeing. The Airbus A320-200 is the aircraft that is the most frequently used, as it is ideal for medium-range flights and can fit up to 180 passengers. When servicing long distance flights, however, the company opts to use the Boeing 777-300ER, a choice that can fit up to 340 passengers and is the largest twinjet in the world.
