Swiss Business Class GVA-ZRH


On the 21st October, as part of a two segment flight to London, I flew business class from Geneva to Zurich. However, European business class is not always regarded as such a big upgrade from economy class... On long-haul flights, the difference is much more significant with lie flat seats in business class. Let's take a look at what Swiss' business class product looks like and if it is worth the extra money/miles.

Swiss Business Class Lounge Geneva

A few months ago, I found a great deal for business class flights to London from Geneva. This special offer was to celebrate Valentine's day (40% off two people travelling in business class). The flights were just about the same price with a stop in Zurich as direct flights. Swiss has 3 lounges available to business class passengers travelling through Zurich airport, so why not go in two lounges for the price of 1, in addition to 2 business class flights instead of just one. Here is my review of the first lounge I visited.

British Airways Reward Flight Saver

British Airways Executive Club is the most used Air Miles scheme in the UK. British Airways offers very reasonable redemptions for premium classes on long haul routes, even though in most cases taxes are extremely high. There are a handful of ways to get around the high taxes, but that’s not the subject of today’s article… Today, we are looking at how you could fly to some amazing destinations in Europe for only 8,000 Avios + £35 return! Let’s have a look at how booking with this scheme (British Airways Reward Flight Saver), could be a smart use of Avios.

Fly-In Prangins 2019


On the 24th August, La Côte Airport opened its doors for the 6th edition of the "fly-in CASG"; a free event where about 4000 visitors from mostly Switzerland, meet up to watch a load of planes flyby or even pay for a short flight experience in an aircraft over the lake (Leman). I didn't have anything planned that day so a friend and I decided to travel to the air show and meet some of our spotter friends at the event.
