Newark - Zurich

Since March 31, the Newark-Zurich route is now being operated with an Airbus 340 offering passengers additional seat capacity in SWISS First (8 seats) , SWISS Business (47 seats) and SWISS Economy (164 seats). The route was being served prior to this date with a 56- seat all-Business Class Boeing Business Jet. On board the A340 from Newark is the new fully horizontal lie-flat SWISS Business bed, measuring 79 inches long. The seat includes an innovative air cushion technology offering passengers the opportunity to individually adjust comfort levels to meet personal requirements. SWISS is one of the only airlines to offer this seat technology. Passengers can also opt for a relaxing massage function. Cabin configuration is 1-2-1 or 2-2-1 with most seats having direct aisle access, allowing for more privacy and additional storage space.

Both Airbus 330-300 flights will include SWISS First, SWISS Business and SWISS Economy classes of service. In SWISS premium cabins sleep peacefully in lie flat beds, enjoy in-flight speciality dishes, and accompanying wines, and relax in a tranquil environment complete with a multitude of entertainment options.
