Pros: Not much
Cons: During COVID there was little attempt to distance passengers during security checks, boarding and onboard. Crew did not inforce mask policy.

Cons: I fell sick and my doctor advised against flying. Tried calling Swiss Air and JustFly.com: 6 calls back and forth and 7 hours on hold, no help. Finally got advised on driving to the airport to make the flight change at the Swiss Air counter at O’Hare. The representative told me to bring a note from doctor to switch flights. I did the next day. The same representative looked me in the eye after advising the day before and said there’s nothing she could do. Why make an elderly sick person drive to the airport again if you know already you cannot help??Absolutely terrible experience, no help from the airline or travel agency. Total loss of the full price of the ticket.

Pros: Amazing crew, great customer service and high level quality plane, despite only 1 hr travel, they served small breakfast and chocolate
Cons: Despite the fact I bought my tickets with 1 hand luggage + 1 personal item, they forced me to dispatch my hand luggage stating flight was full, I refused and they said they could not allow me to board. Felt my rights violated, I HATE to dispatch luggage... and in the end there was space left on the airplane luggage storage areas. Not niceReviewed Feb. 2020review from

Cons: A solution to the seat problem. If the seat only reclined 1/2 the distance they do now, the flight would be enjoyable.

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.
