"recommend this airline"

(Switzerland)

Edelweiss Air is one of the best. We flew Zürich to Cape Town on a cabin that had just been refurbished, premium economy has great leg room, food service is amazing and the PTV offers a large choice of programes. Staff very friendly and proactive. I would recommend this airline.

"satisfied with high standards"

(Cyprus)

Dusseldorf to Larnaca via Zurich, and it was the first time I flew with Edelweiss Air. I was satisfied with the high standards and service provided. The flight lasted 3 hours and the crew served the passengers the snack, meal, dessert. Metal cutlery was provided to all passengers instead of plastic.

"terrible customer service"

(Switzerland)

A couple of days before leaving for Florida, got an email from Edelweiss offering an upgrade to Business for cash. Less than an hour later I called and booked the upgrade for my wife and I. A short while later got another email from them, telling me there were no upgrades available! Terrible customer service.

"ridiculously tight seating"

(United States)

A supremely competent cabin crew can't make up for ridiculously tight seating. We paid quite a bit extra to fly Edelweiss Air from Las Vegas to Zurich on a friend's recommendation, and were shocked at how little space we had. If the person in front of you reclines, you are forced to recline just to see the screen in front of you. I can't stress how uncomfortable the seating was. Worse, they place ads on their video system trying to sell "Economy Max" seating for 200 Swiss francs a seat. They tout these are "anti-thromboses" seats. So the seat I paid $1500 for is a "pro-thromboses" seat? Great crews, incredibly uncomfortable seating. Never again.

"Most uncomfortable flights"

(United States)

Most uncomfortable flights with Edelweiss Air between Tampa and Zurich in economy class. The distance between seats (the pitch) appears to have been reduced a bit. What makes it worse however is that the seat back recline is disproportionately huge. When the passenger seating in front of you fully reclines his seat, that seat back comes to about three inches from your nose. And you are supposed to enjoy in this position the otherwise very good choice of movies and other entertainment available on your individual screen. If you have any food or drink on your tablet when that passenger decides to slam his seat back to full recline, it will be squished, possibly spilling wine etc on your lap. Your only recourse is to hold that drink in your hand and, in turn, recline your own seat back encroaching on the passenger behind you. And if you can’t eat in that reclined position, too bad. The crew don’t make the usual announcement that all the other airlines make when they serve food, asking people to kindly bring their seat back in the upright position to accommodate their fellow travellers.Most important thing for me is seat comfort, particularly leg room. Would not use them again when traveling to Zurich or beyond.

"excellent Edelweiss Air flight"

(Cyprus)

We had an excellent Edelweiss Air flight from Zurich to Larnaca. Captain gave information about the flight in a very friendly manner. The crew was helpful and smiley. Food was not so tasty but it is quite normal for airline food. I had flew Edelweiss Air from Larnaca to Zurich as well and the flight was also great. P.S I am one of those who are scared of planes, although I have to fly quite a lot, but Edelweiss Air has gained my confidence.

Edelweiss Air customer review

(Spain)

We flew to Havana from Barcelona via Zurich and back (2 adults, 2 kids). BCN-Zurich-BCN leg with Swiss was good. Zurich-HAV-Zurich with Edelweiss was a very nice experience. Cabin crew very professional and attentive. In the return flight we were upgraded to Economy Premium. IFE had little films in Spanish - apart from that flying Edelweiss is recommended.

Edelweiss Air customer review

(Canada)

YVR-ZRH return. on the way there sat in Premium Economy. I'm 6'2", 250 lbs and had more than enough leg room,. width could have been a bit more but all in all a good experience. Cabin crew was courteous, food was good. Return leg sat in Economy (row 15A), I recommend not sitting that row as it's the first row of economy and has premium economy seats reclining into you. Best to book row 16 or back. TV technology best I've seen, but movies/tv shows a bit out of date. Games are easy to play and don't bother person in front of you. Zurich airport is decent size but not as busy as Frankfurt or London. I recommend Edeleweiss.

Edelweiss Air customer review

(United States)

Reservations is difficult to reach if calling from USA primarily because of their operating hours and time difference. I called multiple times and waited at one point for 40min for an agent. Finally an agent answered the line only to advise me the office was now closed and to please call tomorrow. The reason for my repeated call was seat assignments. I don't mind and expected to pay for advanced seat selection how ever neither the website nor the call center was helpful. The website finally received the required update and we confirm our seat selection. The flight crew was friendly, competent and helpful. Food was typical. Seat room and pitch terrible. When we arrived our bags didn't. Absolutely terrible customer service. We are unable to reach anyone and have yet to hear from Edelweiss. I am not impressed with some of Edelweiss customer service.
