Bangkok--27 Jul--Asia Pacific
Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) landed its latest addition to the family – the new flagship Boeing 777-300ER – in Bangkok recently. Bangkok is the first Southeast Asia destination in the SWISS network to receive this aircraft and it services this route daily, replacing the existing Airbus A340-300. Additionally, as a sign of its appreciation of all SWISS employees' work, service and commitment, SWISS is dedicating its first Boeing 777-300ER to all its employees.
The new SWISS flagship makes for an even more pleasurable and comfortable flight experience in all three service classes. Passengers in Economy Class benefit from more legroom and a broader entertainment selection, which can be viewed on large, 11-inch screens, while guests in SWISS Business enjoy even more space and privacy. SWISS First offers its passengers lots of privacy and individual discretion, for example with a wardrobe at-seat, more storage space and electro-mechanical window shades that serves three windows of the seat at the same time. Further to that, First also provides a 32 inches IFE screen, which is by far largest in the industry. And with internet and phoning option in all three classes it's possible to stay connected above the clouds.
