Review of SWISS flight Boston → Zurich in Economy

Conclusion

Overall a good airline but I did not like the black backseats as they made the cabin look very dark and seats looked a bit old fashioned and need to be modernized a bit. The legroom was average and could be better. The main food was not good but the breakfast was ok. Crew were nice and attentive though.
Boston airport's check in hall was very nice but the airside area looked very dated and old with not much to do. Zurich airport was very clean and very nice in every aspect.

  Thanks for your phenomenal report with exquisite pictures. I loved the extra bonus of Zurich - one of my favorite cities in Europe.
  
  Good to hear that you had a nice crew. The catering is just like the ones offered by U.S. carriers. Salads as appetizers and wrapped brownies turn me off. I thought LX had printed menus in Y. Did they stop that?
  
  ZRH is a pretty neat airport. 2014-11-21 07:53:21

  Thank you Jetsetpanda. I'm glad you liked the pictures. Actually I don't remember if there was a menu, maybe there was one but I did not notice it. 2014-11-21 17:02:45

  Thank you for this really good FR with beautiful pictures. BOS is a really beautiful airport. It seems like there is kind of a japonese atmosphere with all this wood. Aahaha we really don't share our tastes. I consider the CHF banknotes to be old fashioned but I really like the colors chosen by LX it's elegant. AZ chose to have grey backseats and for me it gives a really cheap aspect. Thank you again . 2014-11-21 09:09:55

  Thank you Kottok, yes, you are right, the check in hall of BOS has a Japanese feel to it for sure :) 2014-11-21 17:04:31

  Thanks for sharing this experience . A good flight , even if i agree with you the cabin is a bit dated and looks crowded. The catering looks good for economy i am surprised the chicken did not taste good as usually it´s easy to prepare .good to read that you had à good crew. A lot of very nice pictures make this FR enjoyable ! 2014-11-21 09:17:03

  Thanks for this FR.
  
  Great pics of the approach and of the city of Zurich.
  
  I find the main meal pretty poor, with a plain salad and pre packaged dessert.
  If the main wasn't good in addition...
  
  Unlike you I like the brownish color of the seats, though I agree a brighter color on the back of the seat would be better. 2014-11-21 13:50:25

  Thanks KL651. I'm glad you liked the pictures. Yes, you are right the colors depend on taste of individuals. I totally agree that some people prefer the darker cabin :) 2014-11-21 17:08:13

  Hi there. Very very nice report with a lot of good details and plenty of gorgeous pictures--I love the great cabin shots and aerial pics! I like the way the seats look from the front, but, like you, I don't like the look from behind. Awesome pics of Switzerland...really beautiful. 2014-11-21 22:17:18

  BOS Terminal E looks like a bummer, nice landside, disappointing airside. The rest of the airport terminals didn't look as bad when I went there.
  
  I beg to differ regarding the seats, I think they look more elegant than other airlines'. The black is better IMO, considering they are less prone to look messy.
  
  I loved the pictures and views when arriving in Switzerland and the Zurich tourist extra!
  
  Thanks for the great FR, Saludos!
