"seats reasonably comfortable"
2 reviews G Brambilla (United Kingdom)
Zurich to London City in Economy class Flight was on time both on take off and landing. Seats were reasonably comfortable, even if of the old, thick type. Space between different rows in average. Crew was not particularly attentive: although they distributed a sandwich and a drink to all passengers. Overall it is very convenient because it lands at City airport.

"Rock hard seat cushion, unwatchable TV screen "
Paul Bertram (United Kingdom)
Rock hard seat cushion, unwatchable TV screen and IFE box taking up half of your foot space, really let Swiss long haul down. On the plus side, food and drinks were very good and plentiful, cabin crew on the whole friendly and efficient. Not going to complain about seat width and pitch as this information is easily found out beforehand and therefore can't come as a surprise - needless to say most airlines have roughly the same seat pitch/width, so it's the food and entertainment system that gets votes. We all wish that we had a bit more room in economy but that's not what lets Swiss down in my opinion.

"Excellent economy class seat"
Martin Frank (United States)
Excellent economy class seat. Well thought out and implemented. Every seat in the airplane was taken, but I felt quite comfortable and not crammed.

"seat legroom was surprisingly good"
T Zuberbuehler (Switzerland)
Seat legroom was for a short haul flight surprisingly good. This might have to do that it was an Airbus and not a Boeing, as they've have not added more seats yet.

"seat pitch is terrible"
T Auger (United Kingdom)
I am in Seat 11b Zurich to LHR. For some reason Swiss in their infinite wisdom put A319 in old seat fit out on Friday pm Heathrow flight. Seat pitch is terrible combined with gate staff taking all small 2nd bags for hold even when website clearly states 2 items of hand luggage!! Don't use Swiss if ur a time conscious and cost conscious business traveller- there are better other carriers! Having used Swiss for years - disappointed.

"no more space for your feet"
G Gorgerat (Switzerland)
On RJ100 the seat rows 7/8/9/10 offer no space for luggage in the cabin. Seat 6F the view is obstructed by the engine and noisy. If you have to put your luggage under the seat you have no more space for your feet.

"uncomfortable seat reclining position"
Hedwig Schuessler (Switzerland)
My worst ever experience with a non low-cost carrier. I flew from ZRH to SIN and the 12 hours were a nightmare. No leg space uncomfortable seat reclining position not worth mentioning. I am a frequent flyer - only on one occasion I had a worse seating: with a low-cost carrier from BCN to ZHR. Swiss: Never again!

"has fairly good economy seats"
Konrad Brynda (Switzerland)
Although less comfortable than at the times of Swissair Swiss has fairly good economy seats on their A320 fleet. They are much better compared to many other airlines in Europe (Lufthansa SAS Air France) and simply superior in comparison to United's domestic fleet. The seats are thin leather seats with a reasonable recline the only real negative point is the lack of larger armrests. Hopefully they will go back to the classic large seats they used to have that still provided much comfort in a 3x3 configuration. *Note: no PTV enjoy the view of the Alps!

"I was very positively surprised"
Konrad Brynda (Switzerland)
Great flight GVA-JFK on one of the Swiss A330. Had read many negative reviews here and was afraid to fly longhaul with Swiss until I actually tried and have to say I was very positively surprised. IFE was good as well.

"most uncomfortable flight ever"
Noel Draper (Australia)
Most uncomfortable flight ever. Seated in 24A due to large box under 23A only room for 1 foot under seat . This seat only suitable for a child. Seats far too narrow and hard.
