We headed to the airport to drop the car we had rented. It was kind of confusing as we had to drop the car in the French part and we were coming from Switzerland, but we finally managed to find AVIS (French Side) and leave there the car. The building is quite modern.

Legroom was very good, and pitch was great (33') because I managed to choose seats that are theoretically for Business Class passengers!

As the Swiss will retire the Avro RJ100, I asked the flight attendant if I could take some pictures of the cockpit of such a beautiful aircraft. Fortunately, he answered positively.

Conclusion

Great short flight, seats were more comfortable than in many transatlantic flights I have flown in, legroom was good but the pitch was superb, as I managed to choose seats in row 2, which are theoretically for business class passengers and have better pitch than seats in the back of the plane. Basel Airport is clean and easy-going, however it has not many restaurants nor stores to spend your time before boarding. Service was very professional and we were served a bagel, drinks and chocolate bars, everything included in your ticket! Amazing job SWISS!
