First class.
First class seats are at the very front of the 777-300, and they are typically several inches wider than the seats in business class and have 10 to 30 inches more legroom. One of the many advantages of choosing first class seating on an airplane is that there is a much smaller passenger-to-attendant ratio, with other little perks.
Passengers seated in business class on 777-300 can expect to enjoy a selection of premium meals and beverages. These are usually vastly superior to those offered in economy class which may not include free meals at all on some flights. You can expect a comfortable seat with more legroom but it may not fully recline on domestic flights.
Premium economy
A seat in premium economy on 777-300 — directly between the main and business class cabins is measurably more expensive than an economy class ticket and often sells at double the price.
In economy class: Exit rows, aisle or window seats, and anywhere close to the front are typically considered the best seats on board. On a short business trip, you might want an aisle seat near the front of the plane so you can disembark as quickly as possible upon arrival.

When you purchase an economy class ticket on 777-300 ER, it means you are sitting in the main cabin, and not located in first or business class. Seats are smaller and packed more closely together, and in-flight services are limited. Economy class seats on domestic routes usually have a seat pitch ranging from a very tight 27 to a generous 32 inches (68.5 - 81 cm).

Seating details
I was flying from SFO to AMS Via ZRH. The seat was so uncomfortable and the lack of space caused my phone charger to break. They had great food and great service but I would only fly with them for the food and the minibar uprront!
Never again. Way to expensive for what essentially is a shared seat, zero privacy, and bad service. Their business class is pretty awful compared to other comparable airlines. I have had my elbow smashed twice already and we have not even taken off! Such a small and uncomfortable experience!
Every other D seat is configured with two side pods. Avoid these seats at all costs. The two side pods plus the narrow footwell combine to make the seat in sleep mode feel like a coffin. Very clausterphobic. Worst biz class configuration ive flownto Europe. I will avoid in the future
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Avoid 777 in 3-4-3 config if possible! Swiss crams in 10 people per row (3-4-3). The seats are extremely narrow. Furthermore legroom is very limited. A very poor and expensive experience. :-(
The plane was designed originally for 9 seats / row, SWISS are using 10, the seats are narrower, have less legroom and the aisle is also narrower too. The result of which if you have an aisle seat is that you are pushed out by the persons shoulders on one side so that your shoulders overhang into the aisle and you are forever being hit by the trolley and people moving about the aircraft. At 183cm I have zero space between my knees and the seat in front and when the person in front goes into the lounge position it hurts. On these flights to Brazil which I, a 71 year old, do regularly, the 10.5 hours is a pure torture and if I could find another way I would, The only thing redeeming this flight to/from Brazil is the flight window which is convenient, you fly at nighttime. It used to be more comfortable in the older 340 planes although the entertainment systems were forever failing. Economy passengers are now treated like cattle. On internal flights in Brazil, I have much more space both in the width and legroom. Also SWISS don't bother about your preferred seating associated with your account, they give you what they decide. You can override this at a price. Finally, on the return flight from Brazil GRU (Saò Paulo) there is no way to check-in beforehand which means you just get given a lousy seat. The old SWISSAIR was a great airline, but if I could choose, I would fly another option rather than today's SWISS.
I use twice a year and feel happy with Swiss on board service: food is good.If you need wheelchair then there is probllem. You have to wait and if lucky you have good assistent. They have bad staff in this service, i believe it is airport service.
I only can recommend you to boycott Airlines, that use a B777 in this Economy class configuration with 10 seats in a row. This is absolutely horrible. SWISS do not treat Economy passengers like customers, they handle you like a cow in a truck. Never, ever again I flight with this Airline.
SFO-ZRH, booked with UA miles with seat selected at check-in free of charge 12hrs before departure--LX charges around 115USD for it. Very worth it when spending 12hrs on board and to be at the front of Economy, e.g. to receive meal service first, and to be quick off the plane upon arrival. Huge fan of LX 77W and this seat is only one reason why.
Row 49 HJK arm rests do not flip up!
Indeed a good plane, but the single seat 8K for which I had paid 199 CHF extra was very small in front, where my feet had to squeeze in between the double seats in front of me. It was not possibel to sleep comfortably like I had expected from paying for a flat bed.
Although you would think it would be nice and more spacious (as well as not having to bother your aisle seatmate), the single seats in business are horribly claustrophobic. Foot space is very small but the worst part is when you recline to flat bed the seat starts lowering and lowering and you are sucked into this space that seems like a tomb. So weird as every other flat bed I've ever flown on the seat simply moves forward and the back reclines. Not this plane! I paid a bit more for this seat thinking it would feel more spacious and I will never reserve this single seat again. I was so uncomfortable and it was so hot, and yes...I'm a bit claustrophobic so it was not nice. It would have been fine if it didn't lower so much as the seat itself is comfortable.
I sat in 23K on a 12 hour flight from Zurich to Singapore. The seat was comfortable thanks it is an emergency exit seat, standard seats are a little bit narrow for your legs. The IFE's were very responsive and I liked the games they provide. Movies and shows selection are not bad. No power outlets but USB port under the IFE. The food was very good and tasty. SWISS provide a blaket, a pillow and some earphones, the blanket was alright but the pillow was way to small for a 12 hour flight. The earphones are like those ones nobody will never use. I had a really good experience with SWISS and I would recomend them.
this seat, and pretty well every seat in coach is extremely cramped - despite the airline stating that the seat in front has no recline, the seat in front reclines so far that you are literally sitting with someone's head in your lap and you cannot get out of your seat or reach anything you have on the floor. I do not recommend any of the economy seats on this flight unless you have the seats with extra legroom. Swiss really crams people in and has no thought for customer comfort at all.
I sat in 44A on a 12 hour flight from Zurich to Singapore. The seat was really comfortable even though the legroom could've been a bit better. The IFE's were very responsie even though the film selection could've also been better. Unfortunatley there were no power outlets but USB port under the IFE. The food was also very good and tasty. SWISS also provide a blaket, a pillow and some earphones, the blanket was alright but the pillow was way to small for a 12 hour flight. I had a really good experience with SWISS and I would defenetly recomend them.
Seat 33G is a bad seat. The metal rod of the row that is attached to the floor of the plane is placed so badly at Seat 33F that the person at 33F might have his or her right leg within your space. Feeling the leg of a stranger pressing against yours is awful when you want to sleep at this 12hr flight.
Torture. It was literally horrible. It started out OK, the ticketing agent was amazing, said there was a decent chance of nobody in the middle seat. Yea right. They squeezed everyone on the plane and the person sitting next to me was very kind but a Swiss air non-revenue flyer. Very nice person, but had huge biceps. Literally thought I would prefer to fly in the lavatory seat rather than this. I have another Swiss flight coming up that I am strongly considering cancelling. I think I just would rather not fly rather than get squeezed into the 777 cabin in economy.
This is the worsest plane from swiss. There is no space to sit normal always contact with ur neighbours, I miss the old 340 on this route, you can better choose lufthansa on this route with airbus much more comfort
Boeing 777 economy: Worst cabin ever! Whichever seat you are on, in this case 23A without window but with extra leg room, you will always be squished between passengers. Seat is narrower than those of any metro around the world. I have flown this airplane on 3 occasions as no other option was available, I constantly touched my neighbors with my shoulders on all 3 flights, and I am a skinny 188cm man. Only book flights on this airplane if longhaul relative comfort is not an issue for you.
Armrests at seats number 49H, 49K, 49J are locked and can not be folded back! That was a nightmare to get off the seat and try to squeeze between seat in front of us and armrest! No one of flight attendants could help and unlock the armrest! That was really bad service and most frustrating flight in my experience!
In the small forward Business cabin behind First. Quiet and comfortable, with easy access to the washrooms. Far superior to the huge and crowded main cabin. Wonderful crew. Excellent food and drinks.

Simple Flying
Swiss completes its boeing 777 premium economy seat rollout.
SWISS has finished installing its highly-touted premium economy seats across its Boeing 777-300ER fleet.
SWISS has finished installing its new premium economy seats on its Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The airline has 12 of the long-range jets in its fleet, and they've been upgrading the planes one by one. On Monday, SWISS confirmed the job was done. The new premium-economy seats have attracted plenty of attention. Now the pressure is on SWISS to live up to the hype.
SWISS goes its own way with its Boeing 777-300ER premium economy seat
Premium economy passengers on any SWISS Boeing 777-300ER operated route can now sit back in an up-to-the-minute ZIMprivacy seat that the manufacturer says brings business class comfort to the premium economy cabin. Well, not quite. SWISS premium economy passengers won't get a lie-flat bed, and the 2-4-2 cabin layout is distinctly un-business class-like, but the new seats are certainly a step up from flying down the back of the plane.
What's unusual about these seats, for the premium economy cabin at least, is the fixed backrest shells. The seat reclines forward rather than backwards. That's great for passengers seated behind - let's face it, unless you are sitting at a bulkhead, seats reclining into your already limited personal space is one of the big drawbacks of flying in the less expensive aircraft cabins.
A comfortable middle ground between economy and business class
SWISS says the new premium economy seats are between 18.1" and 18.9" wide, compared to 17" in the economy class cabin . The pitch also gets an upgrade from 31.1" to 40".
This seat is also unusual because it requires an over-the-shoulder seatbelt. Why's that? It seems the decision has a lot to do with the large (and heavy) seatback inflight entertainment systems located forward of where the passenger sits. SWISS doesn't want passengers crashing into those screens - bad for the passengers and the screens.
"Our SWISS premium economy class is a top-quality standout product against our international competitors. And I am delighted that we can now offer our customers this new best-in-class air travel experience," said SWISS Chief Commercial Officer Tamur Goudarzi Pour when showing off the seats earlier this year.
"Our premium economy class should be especially appealing to travelers who have flown economy class to date and would like to enhance their inflight comfort and convenience. So it also helps us strengthen our premium-carrier positioning in the growing leisure travel market."
An upgrade to your next SWISS long-haul flight
SWISS began introducing their 777-300ER premium economy cabin to their passengers in March when a refurbished jet started flying between Zurich (ZRH) and Miami (MIA). The Boeing 777 joins the Airbus A340-300 and A330-300 on SWISS long-haul routes, but only the Boeing 777 features premium economy.
You can find the plane exclusively flying routes such as ZRH - Los Angeles (LAX) , ZRH - San Francisco (SFO), ZRH - Chicago (ORD), and ZRH - Sao Paulo (GRU). On other routes, you can pick up the 777-300ER flying certain days of the week while the Airbus jets look after the route on different days. But with a bit of forward planning, snaring a premium economy seat is a fast and easy way to upgrade your flight experience.
Aside from the seat, SWISS promises a few bells and whistles to encourage economy class passengers to trade up to the premium economy. Catering is improved, luggage allowances are upgraded, and everyone gets a 15.6-inch IFE screen. SWISS promises their new seats will set new benchmarks for long-haul flights.

Swiss Air Lines operates 3 aircraft on flights to and from the U.S.:
- A330-300 (Referred to as the A330 in this guide)
- A340-300 (Referred to as the A340 in this guide)
Though generally consistent overall, Swiss Air Lines sometimes performs aircraft swaps, especially substituting the A330 with the A340 and vice-versa.
Let’s take a look at the aircraft and route table.
Swiss International Air Lines is a Star Alliance airline. As a result, you’ll be able to fly on Swiss Air Lines using Star Alliance points, with a caveat.
Swiss Air Lines first class is not bookable with points or miles unless you hold top-tier Miles & More elite status.
Specifically, you’ll need to be a Miles & More Senator or HON Circle member to redeem miles for Swiss Air Lines first class. The same is not the case for business class, which is typically an excellent product.
Another option for buying a Swiss Air Lines ticket with points is Asiana Airlines. Asiana Airlines only charges 40,000 miles each way to fly on Swiss International Air Lines business class to Switzerland! Unfortunately, Asiana miles are harder to earn than other airline points due to only having one transfer partner: Marriott .
ANA charges 88,000 miles for round-trip business class, which is an option if you’re open to round-trip award flights. ANA is transfer partners with American Express Membership Rewards and Marriott.
Other options include Avianca LifeMiles , which charges 63,000 miles each way or United MileagePlus , which costs 70,000 miles each way.
Swiss Air Lines First Class Options

Swiss International Air Lines is an extremely aspirational first class product. It’s very difficult to book with points and miles, but it’s proven itself time and time again to be one of the best ways to cross the Atlantic in first class.
The elegance of the first class cabin, stellar catering, and stupendous customer service make this one of the products everyone should have on their bucket list. The flagship Swiss First Class product is aboard the 777-300ER, which is the newest and most up-to-date edition of first class.
For this reason, the 777-300ER is our favorite first class product offered by Swiss Air Lines.
Here’s the full ranking:
Swiss International Air Lines is very consistent across the board when it comes to offering the same products on their aircraft. For this reason, there’s not necessarily going to be huge distinguishing factors in first class between types of aircraft.
Each of the first class suites on the 777-300ER has sliding doors, giving guests plenty of privacy.
The first class chairs are 22 inches wide and 80-83 inches long in bed mode. It’s important to note that the width is with the armrests up. There are a total of 8 first class seats spread out across 2 rows in a 1-2-1 configuration.

As you can see, the lavatories and galleys are located at the front of the aircraft. As a rule of thumb, you generally want to be as far from the lavatories and galleys as possible to minimize your disruption from noise and smells.
Hot Tip: We recommend solo travelers to be seated in 2A or 2K. Those traveling as a couple will enjoy 2D and 2G due to the privacy and ease of conversation.
You’ll find the 777-300ER on Swiss International Air Lines’ flagship routes as shown here:
- Los Angeles (LAX) – Zurich (ZRH)
- Chicago (ORD) – Zurich (ZRH)
- Miami (MIA) – Zurich (ZRH), LX65 (sometimes flown on the A330)
- San Francisco (SFO) – Zurich (ZRH)
Our runner-up for first class luxury is the A330 First Class Suites . The A330 is the second-most used aircraft by Swiss, meaning it’s the product you’re most likely to experience. Although the entire first class cabin is identical in design and configuration as the 777-300ER, the seats are generally a bit older.
The 8 first class suites on the A330 are arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration across 2 rows with a total of 4 seats per row.

The best seats are also going to be in row 2 due to the distance from the lavatories at the front of the plane.
You’ll find the Swiss A330 flown on these routes:
- New York City (JFK) – Geneva (GVA)
- New York City (JFK) – Zurich (ZRH)
- Miami (MIA) – Zurich (ZRH), LX65 (sometimes flown on the 777-300ER)
- Miami (MIA) – Zurich (ZRH), LX67
- Boston (BOS) – Zurich (ZRH) (sometimes flown on the A340)
- Newark (EWR) – Zurich (ZRH) (sometimes flown on the A340)
The final plane Swiss International Air Lines flies to and from the U.S. is the A340. The A340, which constitutes a small percentage of Swiss’ overall fleet, is a great option for those flying from specific airports.
The A340’s first class cabin is exactly the same as the 777-300ER and A330.

You may want to avoid seats 1A and 1D in this seat map due to the uncomfortable proximity to the lavatories. Generally speaking, seats 2G and 2K will be the most private on the A340.
You’ll find the Swiss A340 on these routes:
- Boston (BOS) – Zurich (ZRH) (sometimes flown on the A330)
- Newark (EWR) – Zurich (ZRH) (sometimes flown on the A330)
Swiss Air Lines Business Class Options

Swiss International Air Lines is very interesting when it comes to business class. The seats within the airplane can be dramatically different in privacy and comfort, but the seats across different aircraft are arranged similarly.
We’ll show you what we mean.
The hierarchy of Swiss International Air Lines’ business class across airplanes is relatively similar, but the 777-300ER edges out as first place. The full ranking is:
Since the 777-300ER is the newest product, you’ll want to fly this airplane whenever possible.
The 777-300ER has 62 fully lie-flat business class seats spread out in a quirky configuration. There’s always 5 seats in a row, alternating between 1-2-2 and 2-2-1. Each seat is 20.5 inches wide and 60 inches in pitch.
Most, but not all business class seats have direct aisle access. The best business class seats on Swiss Air Lines are known as throne seats .
These seats have more space and provide you with easy aisle access. You’ll have 2 side tables to use, as opposed to the normal 1 side table. The seat map looks like this:

If you’re a bit confused by this seat map, you’re not the only one. Here’s the important thing to know: throne seats are located at 4A, 5K, 7A, 8K, 9A, 10K, 11A, 12K, 14A, 15K, 16A, and 17K.
The throne seats provide you with more room and convenient aisle access, making these the best seats in business class. Typically Swiss International Air Lines charges a nominal fee of $200 for throne seats. In our opinion, this is worth it for the dramatic increase in comfort and privacy you’ll get.
The best seat, hands down, is 4K because it’s in the private mini-cabin and far away from the lavatories. The runner up is probably 5K as it’s not terribly close to the lavatories due to the exit row.
You’ll find this exact seat map on all Swiss 777-300ERs, found on the routes below:
- Miami (MIA) – Zurich (ZRH), LX65 (sometimes flown on the A330)
Next, we have the Swiss Air Lines A330 business class cabin. The seats and cabin itself look almost identical, with the exception being fewer rows because the A330 is a smaller airplane.
Instead of 62 lie-flat seats like on the 777-300ER, the A330 has 45 lie-flat seats as shown in the seat map below:

As we mentioned, the best seats are throne seats on all Swiss business class flights. Notice, however, that on the A330, all throne seats are located on the left side of the cabin. In other words, there are fewer throne seats, so booking one is highly competitive.
Pick 4A as the best seat, followed by 12A . 12A is great because it minimizes lavatory and galley noise by being at the back of the business class cabin.
If both of those are taken, consider throne seats 6A, 8A, or 10A.
You’ll find the A330 offered on the following routes:
- Miami (MIA) – Zurich (ZRH), LX 65 (sometimes flown on the 777-300ER)
- Miami (MIA) – Zurich (ZRH), LX 67
- Boston (BOS) – Zurich (ZRH) (sometimes flown on the A340)
The last Swiss aircraft with business class to and from the U.S. is the A340. The A340 is inconsistently flown by Swiss, seemingly as a substitute aircraft in place of aircraft being serviced, but it’s still has a great business class cabin.
Here’s what the seat map looks like:

To select throne seats, choose seat 4A first, then 12A, followed by 10A, and lastly 6A or 8A.
You’ll find the A340 being flown on these two routes:
- Newark (EWR) – Zurich (ZRH) (sometimes flown on the A330)
- Boston (BOS) – Zurich (ZRH) (sometimes flown on the A330)
Bottom Line: When flying on Swiss International Air Lines business class, choose the throne seats! The exact seat numbers will vary depending on the aircraft you’re flying, but we’ve provided you with plenty of information to nail down which plane you’ll be flying on and which seats are the best.
Unfortunately, Swiss Air Lines doesn’t currently offer premium economy on any of their flights to and from the U.S.
However, SWISS has unveiled plans to introduce premium economy on their 777-300ER aircraft starting in 2021. These seats will consist of 24 seats in 3 rows in a 2-4-2 configuration.
Swiss Air Lines Economy Options

The very last product that will round out our Swiss International Air Lines route and aircraft guide is economy.
Our ranking is:
All the seats are the same size: 17.3 inches wide and 32 inches in pitch. The seat size is nothing special; in fact, it’s actually on the small size in comparison to other airlines like Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines .
The Swiss 777-300ER economy seat map, which consists of 270 seats in a 3-4-3 configuration, is shown here:

Undoubtedly, the best economy seats on the Swiss 777-300ER are 23B, 23C, 23H, 23J, and 22D/E/F/G. These are the bulkhead economy class seats and come with tons of extra legroom.
Hot Tip: Remember to avoid 23A and 23K due to the protrusion of the exit row door into your leg space.
While sitting in row 22 or 23, you won’t have any foot traffic near you, which minimizes noise and disturbances during your flight. You’ll also be at the very front of the economy cabin, which means you’ll be one of the first to deplane.
You’ll find these seats on the following routes:
- Miami (MIA) – Zurich (ZRH), LX 65 (sometimes flown on the A330)
The next aircraft is the A330 .
The A330 economy class cabin has 183 seats and is arranged in a 2-4-2 configuration as shown below:

The single best economy class seat on the Swiss Air Lines A330 is probably 23D , which doesn’t have a seat in front of it, giving you a lot of legroom to stretch out. You can also sit in the exit row seats in row 29, but the proximity to lavatories and galleys may be unpleasant.
Other options are the remaining seats in row 23 and row 22, which are baby bassinet seats , thus affording you more legroom. In the back of the airplane, the seat configuration tapers to a 2-3-2 design.
Find the Swiss A330 on most routes to and from the U.S.:
The very last product we’ll discuss is the A340, which, as a reminder, is seldom flown to and from the U.S. by Swiss Air Lines.
Just like the A330, the Swiss International Air Lines A340 is arranged in a 2-4-2 configuration with a tapered 2-3-2 configuration toward the back of the cabin.
There are lots of opportunities for preferential seats on the A340 as shown here:

Row 23 is the absolute best on the A340. It’s at the front of the cabin, has tons of extra legroom due to the bulkhead, and is far away from the lavatories.
Other options include 29 D/E/F/G, 30A/B, and 30J/K, which are situated in the exit row but are close to the lavatories. For families of 3 traveling together, it might be a wise idea to take the entire middle row in rows 42-45.
You’ll find the A340 on these routes:
- Boston (BOS) – Zurich (ZRH) (sometimes flown on the A330)
- Newark (EWR) – Zurich (ZRH) (sometimes flown on the A330)
Overall, Swiss International Air Lines has created a consistent product across their different airplanes. This is a bonus if you fly with them often as you’ll generally be pleased with your experience, regardless of which aircraft you fly.
Swiss has a very difficult-to-book first class product, but the business class product is almost as luxurious and is slightly easier to book. For the most up-to-date experience, you’ll want to fly the 777-300ER, no matter which class you’re sitting in.
Now, you have a much better idea of Swiss International Air Lines’ fleet, routes, and various cabin classes!

I’m pretty sure that Swiss also flies to SFO (flight numbers LX 38 and 39)
Great point! We fixed and updated the guide accordingly. Thanks for the feedback.
Well informed, however very hard to read as a former company member considering you continuously got the name wrong. Swiss AIR used to be the name up to the grounding in 2002, ever since the name was Swiss International Airlines (short: swiss).
You’ll be pleased to know that we updated the guide to include “Swiss Air Lines” as the short-hand name. Thanks for reading.
I did not see an inclusion of flights from Washington DC to Zurich.
Swiss Air has international from from Washington DC to Zurich beginning March 2020. We are flying from DC to Zurich in April 2020 and booked out flights back in October 2019. We will be flying on the A330-300.
If SFO to Zurich doesn’t have premium econ, what’s the best way to upgrade to business class from econ?
Unless you have a full-fare economy ticket, it’ll be difficult to upgrade from economy to business using anything except Miles&More Miles.
In the absence of points or miles, the best way is to bid on an upgrade ( https://www.swiss.com/se/en/book-and-manage/swiss-choice/upgrade-options/swiss-upgrade-bargain ) or get a price quote when you check-in at the airport for a paid upgrade.
I read your review of Swiss Air 777-300ER and the problems with the small foot space in business. I’m currently booked into the bulkhead seats 6D&G and wonder if you have any knowledge of how the foot space for those seats might be. There is no seat in front of these so it is possible they might not be so restrictive. I know people might be congregating in this space near the galley and bathroom but you can’t have everything.
Thanks for whatever information you might be able to provide.
There is a small error with regard to Business Class on the 77W. The Throne Seat in Row 4 is 4A, not 4K. I assume that is what you were trying to direct folks towards.
SWISS first class is not named “La Premiere”. That is the name of Air France’s first class product. SWISS first class is simply named “SWISS First.”
Thanks for pointing that out. It has been corrected.
