The return flight to Brussels was with Swiss. The routing was weird OPO-GVA-ZRH-BRU but as I am saving for Aegean gold I was happy with it. Checkin was the fastest I ever had, I was the only person at the counter, the erst already had checked in.

After security you get this view. The duty-free (not really dutyfree but ok) is quite good and has some nice port wines.

Upon boarding a FA gave us a chocolate with the Swiss branding.

The meal was some kind of bland pasta and an apple-cinnamon cake. I had done this route two months ago and was surprised that the menu had not changed. The red wine was nothing to write home about.

Swiss has a lot of competition on this OPO-GVA route from Easyjet so flight load was very light. I think there was only one person in business class.

Shortly after the meal, they served coffee and came around with dutyfree stuff.

Legshot. Obviously better than Ryanair.

During the flight, a moving map was shown throughout the whole flight. The safety announcement is also shown on the screens.


Arriving in GVA, there were some interesting planes from Saudi Arabian Airlines and Emirates, Etihad and Qatar.


Also a special livery Air France regional plane.

We deplaned at a satellite building using a jetway but then we had to take the bus.


In duty free I tried some perfumes but I had my boarding passes in my hand and some perfume spilled on them with the following result.
