I love Swiss. They’re easily one of the best airlines in the world, so naturally I’m happy when they expand their route network. Starting June 2, 2010, Swiss will begin 6x weekly service to San Francisco operated with A343-300s. The schedule for the flight will be as follows:

San Francisco-Zurich (SFO-ZRH) LX 39 dep. 7:25 p.m. arr 3:40 p.m.+

Zurich-San Francisco (ZRH-SFO) LX 38 dep. 1:15 p.m. arr 4:30 p.m.

+following day

Even if you don’t plan on flying this particular flight, you should still be excited about this. It will ease up the bookings a bit (at least among connecting passengers) on the Los Angeles to Zurich flight, which can be tough to get award seats on.

Unavaca-I flew the LX A340 in economy a few years back, and it was very cramped. The seats look nice, and they have big screens, but if the person in front of you reclines, their seatback is so close to you that the screen is difficult to even see. Thyeri-that's interesting that you find LX availability on Aeroplan's site. This has never worked for me, but I haven't tried the Geneva trick. Overall though I'd say you can't rely on Aeroplan's results to paint a realistic portrait of actual availability. And I second the poster who mentioned that even if availability shows on Expertflyer, that doesn't mean you'll actually get those seats through a partner airline. It's all pretty mysterious.

You can check LX availability on aeroplan too. If you don't find direct flights from Zurich, try with Geneva (connecting for the same flight in Zurich). It often works this way.

My Swiss uncle will like being able to take a direct flight again from ZRH, and the new C & F classes look to be excellent.

@lucky -- Thanks. That explains. I guess it's time to join my first kiddie frequent flyer program. @unavaca -- I shudder at the thought.

How's LX in Economy? Yes, some of us still fly in the back of the bus...
