HELVETIC AIRWAYS review :  7 February 2012 by J Stefanides (Czech Republic)

ZRH-PRG, the flight was operated for Swiss Int. The Helvetic´s Fokker 100 was very clean and the design was very corporate. Smiling cabin crew and tasteful pretzel just bolstered unparalleled the atmosphere of this regional flight. Can recommend to everybody.

CDG-ZRH in Economy - Swiss flight operated by Helvetic Airways Fokker 100. Very friendly and smiling stewardesses. Decent food service - croissant, hot and soft drinks and the unmistakable Swiss chocolate! Clean and bright cabin, comfortable leather seats with quite a generous legroom of 33in. On the downside nearly no announcement or information from the cockpit.

Birmingham-Zurich return. Fokker 100 clean and tidy despite their age. Efficient and friendly crew, inflight snack not very good.

BHX-ZRH-GVA. Bang on time, but delay with security at Zurich meant we held up the short hop to GVA, by Swiss intl. Very good all round, FA's very friendly and efficient. Return to BHX straightforward and 5 minutes early.

ZRH-MXP in economy class. Service spotless, cabin crew very polite and professional and the nice touch of the German speaking pilot giving information in the final destination's language and giving farewell to the passengers after the flight standing next to the door with a box of chocolate.

Helvetic are now part of Swiss, which I had the pleasure of using this past week. The cabin is spotless, seats on the Fokker 100 jets are comfortable and stewardesses charming and very efficient. Both flights on time, efficient low-key boarding, and warm croissants (breakfast) and fresh sandwiches - not the standard Swiss cheese ones this time!

FCO-ZRH on an almost empty flight. Very good quality of service. Once of my best flights back to Switzerland. Everything was perfectly on time. Just a tip: don't ask for the seats near the emergency exits on the F100, since they are quite uncomfortable. I would recommend Helvetic on the ZHR-FCO leg.

I have now logged close to 10 flights with Helvetic, always on the route Prague-Zurich or vice versa. On time departures at Zurich are a problem for other airlines, Helvetic almost always is in the air as promised. The cabin staff was always very friendly, the cabin clean and the seat pitch is good. On top of it, Helvetic is the perfect if you have to plan one way trips - its in my knowledge the only airline where you get good and reliable prices for one way trips. Highly recommended - worth paying the price!

ZRH-AMS-ZRH Crew were friendly and professional. The cabin was clean but the seats were the narrowest I have seen on an airplane. If you are overweight do not fly this airline. At 99€ plus fees price is not competitive if you pre-book but for last minute flights is a good deal.

Flew ZRH-AMS-ZRH, almost empty flights, efficient crew, ontime departure, arrival. But for the fare paid, I rather take LX or KL where I can accrue miles. EUR198 plus EUR66 tax is way too much.

I flew twice with Helvetic on ZRH-BRU-BRU and ZRH-NCE-ZRH. Extra legroom, quiet and comfortable aircraft, friendly crew, affordable onboard food (CHF5 for croissant and coffee), on-time departures and landings (ask SWISS!), great destinations and fantastic timetable (leave ZRH at 07:00 and return the same day at 21:00). The prices are not that cheap, since you can fly for less with SWISS if you book a return flight 3 weeks in advance with a weekend in you trip - but for spontaneous, short-term or single flights, one-day trips - only one advice: choose Helvetic.

Return flight from Zurich to Vienna on a Helvetic F100, a newly founded airline operating out of Zurich. Each seat costs € 99, regardless of the time of booking. I was pleasantly surprised by both flights. Excellent aircraft with above average legroom (since Helvetic's F100 only seat 100 pax, which is below maximum configuration), comfortable leather seats and stylish cabin decor. Flight attendants were very friendly, attentive and professional. They offer a good range of snacks and drinks.
