Thanks for all the great information - it's truly appreciated!

I hate to ask, but does anyone have a link to the seat maps or somekind of map in electronic form that they could post here or email to me? I tried to download the timetable from the website but was unable to - I use a computer at work and the internal configurations wouldn't allow me to download successfully.

And mktozd, about using AA miles for Swiss flights, just call the AAdvantage line: (800) 882-8880, press 4 for international flights, and ask the rep - they've been very helpful to me.
