It may not seem obvious at first glance but these seats are in fact fully enclosed suites, with three different levels of privacy. Given the size of these screens it would have been incredibly distracting to be able to see what others in the cabin were watching. The addition of proper walls was extremely welcome given how open the previous cabin was. On the A330 the vents were much lower down and basically created a small canyon which filled with dirt and empty bottles. I would have preferred to be given this before eating but as is the case with most frequent flyers I always carry sanitiser, just in case (I know I’m not the only one that gets all OCD and wipes all the surfaces down with the towel too)!Īlthough this seat featured a lot of the hallmarks of SWISS’ old product like the wooden trim, white gloss surfaces and the oblong lamp, almost every aspect of the seat was improved upon in some way.Įven seemingly minor details were addressed – the venting by the windows was still there but had now been raised to the same height as the countertop.

Ordinarily I’d try and maximise sleep on a Sunday night Eastbound redeye but flying SWISS First is no ordinary experience… The emotive part of me loved how great this crew were on the outbound and was excited for more superb service from them on the return. Not only had I selected the exact same seat for my return, I’d managed to get the exact same crew too! The scientific, analytical part of my mind immediately filled with joy as a I realised that I had the perfect control for my comparison of the two different SWISS products!

I was so happy to be able to plan the trip in a way that let me try the older A330 product beforehand as it meant I could finish on a real high note.Īs soon as I approached the jetbridge I was greeted by the smiling crew, “Welcome back, leaving so soon?” they said as I stepped into reception area and made my way left to seat 2K. After 24 hours enjoying the sights and food of the beautiful, wintry city of Montreal it was finally time to step into SWISS’ all new B777 First Class cabin.
