Thanks for the high quality photos of your meal and menu (always nice to see the menu!). I'm always astounded at the extreme quality of SWISS' first class catering service. I fly Etihad a lot in first, but it pales in comparison to SWISS. I know the food looks great, but does it taste as good as it looks?

The quality of LX F catering has definitely been improving. I was extremely pleased with the meals served on my JFK - GVA flight last month.

Your photos are terrific. Great quality. I watched part of the video and enjoyed it, but have to agree that it is best to turn off the music!!

I agree. But I was served one of the worst entrees that I had in the air or ground on a recent F flight to HKG. It was a lamb loin dish. The appetizers and dessert were amazing, however.

Excellent trip report ^

I'm flying this route during the first week of January and can't wait to experience LX F!

Did this bird have the new F seats?

Why do people post such nice trip videos and ruin them with rubbish music soundtracks.

The first 3 minutes was a living hell, the rest was marginally better.
