Swiss back to Europe

From the St-Regis we took an Uber Black back to EWR.





Upon arrival to EWR we were quickly checked in and through security.
To my surprise, we weren’t stamped out of the US, but emigration apparantly works automatically at the gate.With half an hour to kill, we made a stop at the Lufthansa lounge, which was crowded. I didn’t take pics but it looks like every Lufthansa lounge in the world. Still a good enough place to have a gin & tonic.

Flights back to Europe were on Swiss, mainly because (within the Lufthansa group) they had the latest departure, around 22:00, giving us a full last day in New York.

The flight today was on an A330, where we were able to get seats in the mini-cabin just behind first class, which gave a very private feel.

The seats are similar to Austrian, but the inflight entertainment seemed more outdated.
After take off, dinner was served. I took the steak, and I must say to my surprise it was very nicely cooked (not overcooked).







Prior to landing in Zurich, a breakfast was served, however, once again forgot take a pic.
Swiss provides a fine way across the Atlantic, however within the Lufthansa group, I still prefer Austrian for longhaul flights. (Swiss is my favorite for shorthaul).

In Zurich, we made a quick stop at the Alpine lounge before getting on the final flight to Paris.

the flight to Paris was on an A220, always an nice spacious shorthaul plane, where a nice cold lunch was served.






After a 2 hour drive, we were home by noon, ready to fire up the labtop and catch up on work.
