Swiss B777
- The Boeing 777 is a long-range wide-body twin-engine jet airliner designed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, the commercial business unit of Boeing.Commonly referred to as 'Triple Seven', it is the largest twinjet. The 777 can accommodate between 301 and 458 (Air Canada High Density) passengers in a three-class layout, and has a range of 5,235 to 9,380 nautical miles (9,695 to.
- SWISS B777-300ER Economy Class in a 3-4-3 configuration (SWISS photo) SWISS’s B777-300ER aircraft seats eight in First class (1-2-1 configuration), 62 in Business Class (2-2-1 or 1-2-2 configuration) and 270 in Economy Class (3-4-3 configuration). That is 55% more seats than the A340-300s. SWISS collected its first B777-300ER earlier this year and is used to serve ultra long haul routes.
- Like the SWISS Boeing 777 Limited Edition, this timepiece features distinct elements that showcase its Swiss heritage and relationship with SWISS. The plane-shaped second hand and the engraved engine of a Boeing 777 aircraft on the back make this excellent watch a veritable collectable.
Swiss WorldCargo is the air cargo division of Swiss International Air Lines Ltd. And provides a comprehensive range of high value and care intensive logistics solution to around 130 destinations in over 80 countries. The business class of the B777-300 is very similar to the cabin of the A340-300. The seats themselves are basically the same. If you are travelling alone, the best option is the throne seat as they are super private.
I sat in 23K on a 12 hour flight from Zurich to Singapore. The seat was comfortable thanks it is an emergency exit seat, standard seats are a little bit narrow for your legs.The IFE's were very responsive and I liked the games they provide. Movies and shows selection are not bad.
No power outlets but USB port under the IFE.
The food was very good and tasty.
SWISS provide a blaket, a pillow and some earphones, the blanket was alright but the pillow was way to small for a 12 hour flight. The earphones are like those ones nobody will never use.
I had a really good experience with SWISS and I would recomend them.
It’s Sunday again, so it must be time for some more airplane art.
This week, we have a Swiss International Air Lines Boeing 777-300ER taking off from Zurich Airport as it departs from the cold, heading for the skies.
Swiss operates a fleet of 12 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in its long-haul fleet. These are supplemented by Airbus A330-300 and Airbus A340-300. The airline also operates the Airbus A220-100, Airbus A220-300, Airbus A319, A320, Airbus A321, Airbus A320neo and Airbus A321neo in its short haul operation.
This aircraft – HB-JNG – joined the Swiss fleet in February 2017.
It operated initially under Swiss Global Airlines and moved into the main Swiss International Air Lines fleet in April 2018. The aircraft is configured in a three-class configuration, with First, Business and Economy Class seating.
More Airplane art next week!
