After scanning our boarding passes, we proceeded to walk down some escalators towards our jet bridge.









Wonder how much these guys spend on advertising at Heathrow?



-JLT




We boarded through one door and as we began moving down the aisle heard the cabin crew request that all boarding passengers move quickly to ensure that we can request a departure slot- new experience for me!

My view *Our* view for the next 1 hour and 10 minutes





The seat



I tried to get my Go Pro working but once again it turned into a "stay" pro as it didn't really want to work.



Taxing out for departure








Budgets are running tight at BA- Only 1 meal for Econ pax and now paint is scarce...








Not today



Need to get on one of these before the final flight!



More BA



Waiting to get on the Runway



27R was the departure runway for today







Airborne













To take a line from Queen "I Want to break free"









Legroom was quite tight.



At 16,000ft the Crew began service and the vegetarian option on this flight was a cheese roll





Still climbing



They then proceeded to give us these chocolates





View from the front




Very rarely were these screens showing a moving map. Most of the time, it was just advertising new Swiss routes and the new CS100.

By the end of the flight I could tell you everything you wanted to know about the new Edelweiss short and medium haul flights to Birmingham



Quite soon after the crew began to collect our rubbish and momentarily after the seatbelt lights switched back on



Gates for connection







In awe at how stunning the outskirts of Zurich were















Don't get any of this at LHR





Touchdown!



Happy Swiss Gentleman







We pulled up at the gate, said goodbye to our crew, (or so we thought) and began our 55 minute connection at Zurich.




Exactly one year later I was back on Swiss soil. Great to see you too Switzerland, its always a pleasure :-:
