- Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to my review of Swiss airlines, first class.
I'm in the Zurich first class terminal E
in my private day room in the lounge.
It's just five o'clock now.
And to get here, I've been on the road
since seven this morning.
So first stop was Kiev directly from Zurich.
I flew to Kiev to position myself for my
Swiss airlines business class flight, back to Zurich
to position myself again for the
Zurich to Singapore first-class flight
on the 777-300.
Now it's been five hours of flying and finally arrived
at the first-class lounge.
The other one at terminal A is also very nice
and I've been there this morning,
had some breakfast there checked it out.
So this is what it looks like.
(stirring music)
- Now you've seen that.
Let's check out the Swiss airlines
first class lounge here at the E Gates.
Which is the flagship lounge.
And it should be pretty nice.
Let's go.
All right we are in the Swiss airlines.
First class, day rooms,
it's basically in a hotel room.
They call it a day room.
You can chill here for as long as you want when
you're flying a Swiss first class and when you're departing
on international flight.
These are the...
This is the E Gates lounge.
So let's check out the room
and give you a quick tour.
So these hotel rooms,
you can reserve them when you arrive at the lounge.
Very nice, very nice.
Typical Swiss design,
very clean,
got a little bench for your luggage.
TV Of course. Why not?
Not that you need it around here
because the views are insane.
Let's check it out later.
Then we got a bathroom.
Everything you might need.
You've got toothbrushes there.
And then we got little amenity kit in side
we've got body lotion, shampoo, hair conditioner,
whatever, towels
then we got the shower here in the day room
toilet of course
and then a bed which looks pretty comfortable.
I might have a quick nap later
since I've been on the road
from seven o'clock this morning,
just flying around.
Some might think that's crazy,
Others enjoy it.
Now, check out these views here.
Oh, let me adjust,
let me just my lens.
So you can see that better.
(stirring music)
That's what it's all about.
So later on, I'm going to have a glass of champagne
on my balcony here.
There's at this stage, it's no one else in the lounge.
So I've got this whole thing to myself
and it's the Swiss flagship launch.
So I'm going to have a great time here.
I've got about six hours or so
they have a-la-carte restaurants
where you can dine and drink on demand.
And yeah, I'll take you along the ride.
And then tonight we're flying Swiss airlines first class
from Zurich to Singapore
on the 777-300
it should be pretty fun
never done it before.
I'm very excited about it so enjoy.
(stirring music)
- [Immanuel] The Swiss airlines first class lounge
is probably one of the best I've ever visited.
It's located in the E Gate, which is
on the international side of Zurich airport.
It takes up a big section on the end of the terminal
with a huge wraparound balcony
from where you can enjoy the planes taking off.
There's also a restaurant with table service elegant dining
and some excellent beverages at the bar.
(stirring music)
The outdoor first-class terrace is truly unique.
It's a great spot to relax with a glass of wine
and watch the planes land.
(plane landing)
(stirring music)
- [Immanuel] Back in the restaurant.
There's an extensive menu
from which you can order.
The food on offer is on par with
some of the best restaurants in Zurich.
(stirring music)
- Very excited for this flight
hope you guys are too.
Check it out.
(stirring music)
(mumbles)
- [Immanuel] Hello, how are you?
- [Flight Attendant] Fine, how are you?
- [Immanuel] Am good, thanks.
Hello. How are you?
- [Flight Attendant] Welcome (indistinct)
- [Immanuel] Thank you.
I think this...
- [Flight Attendant] This is the bay
- [Immanuel] yes.
Oh, the other side.
All right. I better go around.
(stirring music)
- [Immanuel] The Swiss airlines
first class cabin is situated
in the front of the plane
has eight seats configured in 1-2-1 configuration.
Seats are very spacious,
very nicely designed and
have sliding doors for extra privacy.
(stirring music)
- [Immanuel] Right here we have a coat hanger
slides in to the door, like that.
Very convenient you put your jacket in there, super easy.
Let's have a look
what else is there?
Swiss first class, I believe this is amenity kit
of some sort.
And look at all the controls here.
Bottle of water and a light adjustable,
very spacious seat.
See lots of leg room (indistinct)
So you can easily have dinner for two
in this Swiss first class seat,
huge TV screens.
And then this is I believe the door that closes
supposed to be stored for taxi and takeoff.
We will try it out anyway.
Only goes close, partially so...
Goes back up
So back on this seat
these seat has no seatbelt here.
So if you want to have the guests join you for dinner
it's very impossible.
What else we've got here?
Let's see if this opens up.
Here we go.
So that's the controls for seat controls
with a lot of options here,
remote control, some headphones.
I didn't manage to charge my own
in the launch.
So hopefully we can use that one instead.
Big seat, One, two, three windows.
We've got this
screen here that closes very nice.
It's like a train carriage.
Kind of like a
thing about like British airways
first-class to be honest.
So yeah, let's see what the service likes
see what the food is like and
let's get some champagne. And I say
(stirring music)
- [Immanuel] So I have just received my pajamas,
check it out.
(stirring music)
- [Immanuel] So here we have the amenity kit by Bally,
Swiss brands very nice.
I have some Bally shoes actually.
Let's see what's inside.
So inside the amenity kit,
we've got a comb, some lollies
toothpaste, toothbrush, eye mask, socks, tissues, shoe
collar, and
some ear buds very handy.
We've also got not sure what this is.
No idea, I think it's some sort of towel or something.
Find out later.
Just been served
the emu bush
of dry tomato, chili and pesto.
Very nice together with my Grand Siecle.
However you say it.
If your French please correct me.
All right, I've just got changed into my pajamas.
Very Swiss.
Look at the detail.
Pro tip always bring your own shorts.
Swiss airline flights are notoriously hot.
It's already boiling in here.
So I expect this is going to be a very warm flight.
On a separate note am very impressed with
the bathroom amenities.
They've got La Pre in here.
Those little bottles with the facial moisturizer
costs probably around 500 bucks.
So make use of those.
Here we have the beverage menu
let's take a quick look at it.
Champagne (indistinct)
same as British airways first class.
So unfortunately they don't serve it in the lounge.
Actually in the lounge, they've got a
quite an interesting champagne selection.
It's not everyday brands, but they're quite nice actually
If you want to pause this to look at the wine list
you can do so.
Tea and coffee,
let's take a look at the food menu,
food menu, Swiss airlines, first class.
So they have this concept where they change
the dishes every month, whatever.
And they've got a new chef from a different Canton
which is like a different region Switzerland
You can read all about it there.
This month it's this guy here
looks very serious and that's the menu.
So I think I'm going to go for the button salmon blinis
which is their...
Kind of their caviar alternative I would say.
And then I might get the lemon corsa turbo.
And of course on Swiss,
you have to go for the cheese selection,
which has got its own page here.
So it is there all the cheeses that are on offer
which looks sensational.
Yeah, that's it.
That's good.
Let's take a quick look at the entertainment system.
Let's see what we have here.
Very intuitive,
but selection
seems to be pretty old to be honest, old movies.
I swear I've seen those on
like Singapore airlines at least three months ago.
The Aftermath seems to be the only
movie on there.
I'm going to check it out later
and see what the deal is,
not holding my breath
for this one. Is it touch screen?
It's not a touch screen unfortunately.
Quick review of the Swiss airlines
first class headphones they are shit.
So bring your own if you're flying
Swiss airline first class.
(stirring music)
- Right guys.
I'm in my Swiss airlines
first glass bed time for a little nap
must say is bedding is ultra constables
this pillow is fantastic.
So I think I'm going to have a good sleep.
Pop a couple of sleeping tablets.
See you in the morning.
Good morning guys?
Had a great sleep
here on my Swiss airlines.
First class flights to Singapore.
We've had about an hour and a half to land.
So it's going to be a tight connection to catch
my flight to Perth
about two hours out of Singapore now.
Now I think I've had about five hours of sleep.
It's very comfortable bed,
pretty private.
Although the sliding doors only cover part of the cabin.
I'll show you so you in a bit.
So you see the coat hanger turns
into a door
and can open and close
with this one here,
which is pretty cool.
Of course, here we got the windows,
a bottle of water, a huge screen
and you see how much leg room I've got.
Very nice,
very nice first class experience so far.
(stirring music)
All right, breakfast is served on Swiss airlines.
I've gone for a simple menu today with a fresh fruit
which I'm usually orange juice and a yogurt
but in order to feel like eating too much
but it also have hot dishes.
If we can see the menu
and of course another fresh brewed coffee
which is actually a really tasty on this flight
good coffee, thumbs up Swiss.
(stirring music)
Hope you enjoyed this Swiss airlines,
777-300 first class review.
See you next time.
