lucky me to grab today 2 return free tickets in First class on the A 333 for my trip to ZRH in JUNE

So AB and JK not AC and HK. Very confusing naming as that deviates from the old B and J are middle seats caveat

As far as I can remember, Swiss allways used these letters for their A330 & A340.

Just the MD11 was different, but the 3-4-2 seating (ABC-DEFG-HJ) is a thing of the past, too.
You mean "really old" like on Swissair's B747?

Does anyone have any news on whether there'll be anything special happening for/on the inaugural LX14 and LX15?

NA-Flyer

I guess Caviar and Champagne for all passengers plus some flowers I am sure they will not hand out any free future travel tickets.....

Corpt

Whilst that would have been nice, it would also have been unexpected!

I was thinking more along the lines of mementos etc as some airlines (eg SQ with the A380) do on their inaugural flights......

NA-Flyer

Any idea if the new A333 has been delivered to LX or not yet ?

April 20 is the day which first flight should take on and LX keep a very silent mouth about that aircraft delivery or any information related to the A333. Any one spoted the A 333 in ZRH ?

LXA350

The aircraft (HB-JHA) arrived to zurich on wednesday evening at around 18:00. Theoretically tomorow it is expected to operate it's first commercial flight as LX014 to JFK.

NA-Flyer

Any reason that both airbus and LX have not made it publically that the aircraft has been delivered to LX 5 days ago ?

OK I understand LX style of communication but why Airbus did not announce the delivery to LX, given the fact that everytime Airbus makes a delivery it make official announcment of the delivery.

LXA350

No idea, why even AIrbus hasn't made any anoncement about it. LX better be publishing pictures etc and a detailed press release of the new A333's tomorow when the plane will make it's maiden flight. Maybe a report will be in the SF and or Tele Zueri news...

I just posted two photos from our (hch and me) experience day with the new LX C seats.

Got 5K JFK-ZRH 21 July and 5K ZRH-JFK 3 Sept Swiss are kool with seat bookings except they wouldnt allow me 6A 8A or any of these A seats which are single on the LHS unless Im a special Swiss customer - good prices with Swiss - used to fly LH then SK in C but they r getting a bit tired - full flat beds best way to go whether its UA or CX or SQ or AC which I think are all good from my personal experience - if the seats are narrow theyre made for Europeans rather than obese Americans or Aussies - im 6ft4 and solidly (rather than fatly) built and they all wide enough for me! -would be nice if these Star Alliance carriers used Amadaeus like LH (Amadeus' owner) but I guess the hard and software upgrades cost too much - so shoot me down now for posting - its a usual for this board -

You might have missed it, but there was plenty of publicity in the Tagesanzeiger:
