Enjoy the ultimate in innovation and comfort with the new SWISS Business seat. Following its smash debut, the airline has launched the product on all its Airbus A340 and A330-300 aircraft operating between the United States and Switzerland.

Travelers from six of the airline’s U.S. gateways — Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and San Francisco — will enjoy the revolutionary new seat design, which transforms into a fully horizontal lie-flat bed measuring 79 inches long. Its one-of-a-kind air comfort system allows passengers to adjust the seat’s firmness to the level they desire. An in-seat massage function is available at the touch of a button. Whether working, dining or resting, SWISS Business is designed to offer the optimal level of relaxation.

Nearly every business-class seat has direct aisle access and the unique seat layout provides the maximum in personal space. Added storage space, more privacy and better maneuverability in the cabin are highlights of the luxurious experience.

Naturally, 5-star cuisine and top-of-the-line technology go hand in hand with an award-winning design. The SWISS Business menu, wine list and entertainment system do not disappoint. Paired with fine wines, the airline’s chef-designed cuisine offers a taste of Switzerland. The 16.9-inch screen on the A330-300 makes viewing the large selection of films, shows, games and information channels a pleasurable experience. Each seat is equipped with power sockets and the A330-300 seats also include USB and iPod plugs.

Onboard hospitality is traditionally Swiss — warm, friendly, rich and distinctive. The airline has been honored time and again for the welcoming nature of its staff, gate agents, flight attendants, pilots and crew.

The airline’s main Switzerland hub in Zürich is one of Europe’s easiest airports for quick, seamless connections. From the United States, SWISS offers connections to more than 70 destinations worldwide. The gateway also features world-class shopping and dining and SWISS’s signature lounges.
