Touring the New SWISS Business Class Seat

I walked through the first A340 to receive the new SWISS business class seat while I was at the inaugural in SFO. This was just after they finished cleaning the airplane. Marc Suhr, SWISS Regional Manager of Ground Service for the Americas walks us through the features.

Have they brought this in to the A340 yet? Always thought it was only for the A330's...

[crankyflier]

@adreeves78 yes, this was taken on the first A340 to get the seat

I like the throne seat - Competition for that must be rather fierce though - I imagine it is only available to passengers with status?

[crankyflier]

@2pb I don't think it's limited to passengers with status. There are two rows in a separate front biz cabin that's very private. I believe they call it the stübli. Those are reserved for their elites.

that seat is small

I think its wonderful! I mean for other airlines, this type of space would be considered first class. This is very impressive!

Flew this aircraft and cabin on Thursday into Zurich. Probably the best business class cabin i've seen from any airline -- very well designed. Food was nothing special though...

Wow, that is fantastic! I love the styling and functionality of that cabin. They definitely put a great deal of effort into the design.
