New Business Class

The seat can be fully reclined to a lie-flat position offering a “bed above the clouds” that is two metres long. And that’s not all: the new seat also features a world first in the form of an air cushion that extends throughout its length. Hard as a futon, soft as a water bed or any level in between: the choice is the customer’s. The new seat boasts further extras, too, such as an integrated massage function, USB and iPod sockets and a bigger 16:9-format inflight entertainment screen. The new Swiss Business cabin should be installed aboard around a third of the carrier’s long-haul fleet by the end of 2009. The new Airbus A330-300s which will join the fleet from 2009 onwards will all feature the new seats. The Airbus A340s, the biggest aircraft in the SWISS fleet, will also be equipped with the new SWISS Business Seat. Under the current schedule, around one-third of the SWISS long-haul fleet should be fitted with the new SWISS Business cabin in 2009. A large proportion of the fleet will be refurbished in 2010; and all SWISS Business customers should be enjoying a truly excellent inflight seating and sleeping experience on all SWISS long-haul flights by 2011.
