While my SWISS Airbus A220-300 flight from London to Zurich was pleasant in one distinct way, the reality is you’re paying a huge premium to fly SWISS out of Heathrow versus a budget carrier from another London airport and won’t get a lot out of it, at least onboard.
It’s not for the onboard experience, which other than the free chocolate and water bottle is not much better than a budget carrier. Legroom is similar (in some cases worse) and there is no Wi-Fi or power outlets.
No, it’s for the ease and connectivity of flying out of London Heathrow and being able to connect onto other SWISS or Star Alliance flights, with lounge access and business class upgrades for frequent flyers or others willing to pay up.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
