Swiss Business Class To Europe, Up to 9 Seats

Swiss has released a bunch of dates with business class space for up to nine people. While the older product needs an update, this is a great way to get the whole family (or a bunch of friends) to Europe in lie-flat seats.

Swiss has started flying the new Swiss Senses product (identical to Lufthansa Allegris). The new product is a big improvement, so book one of those flights if possible.

Now, let’s get into it!

Let me know if you book!

Flight Experience

With Boston and Montreal being the first cities to get the new Swiss Senses business class product, those are the routes I’d book for the best inflight experience. The cabin layout is the same as Lufthansa’s Allegris business class product.

The food and service are both solid. If you can get one of the throne seats on the older product, it's even better as you'll have tons of space - the armrests are like small tables. If traveling with someone, you might want to choose seats in the middle section.

Unless you have Miles & More Senator or Hon Circle status, you won't be able to select the throne seats for free until 24-48 hours prior to departure (if available). However, you can pay ~$150-200 for a throne seat.
