Fly & Drive
 

Today, I had an e-mail from Swissair announcing this promotion. It looks very nice. It is a pity that I am not going to fly to Zurich till New Year time.

Reserved in your name. A Swissair smart is yours for 24 hours. And ready for pick-up at the airport. Swissair. We care.
We take you where you're going. But won't stop at the airport.
Even when you've landed after a great flight, chances are you have not reached your final destination. That's why we make certain you don't waste time claiming your baggage. That's why we also offer shower facilities and refreshments in our Allegra Lounge*. And that's why we have added another unique service: a Swissair smart at your disposal - insured by Zurich Financial Services and serviced by Avis Rent A Car.

*in Zurich inside Terminal A adjacent to Baggage Claim, open daily from 5:30 a.m. to noon.

Swissair and smart take you almost anywhere.
The Swissair smart is yours for 24 hours. Just meet three simple conditions and you're ready to take off again: 1. You must be 21 or older and have had a valid drivers' license for one year or more. 2. You must be a member of the Qualiflyer frequent flyer programme. 3. You travel Swissair First or Business Class. Or have a Swissair Electronic Ticket** in Economy Class. Either way, our offer is valid for flights to Zurich through January 31st, 2000.

**from Brussels, Geneva, Lisbon, Porto and Vienna to Zurich (effective July 99). Other destinations to follow.

All included.
We give you everything you need to hit the road - at no charge and with unlimited mileage. Included are a tankful of petrol, insurance (theft, liability, collision; no deductible) and smart roadside assistance around the clock.

How to book your smart.
Reserve your Swissair smart when you book your Swissair ticket and it will be ready for you upon arrival. Simply complete a couple of formalities, walk a few steps to the specially designated parking area in front of the terminal (also your drop-off point) and you will be on your way in no time.

Starts July 26, 1999.
Your Swissair smart will be available first in Zurich - directly in front of the Arrivals Hall in Terminal A. Geneva, Basel and Swissair destinations throughout Europe will follow.

Follow me to the airport ticket counter and to the designated parking area in front of Terminal A.

Safety cell and turbo engine.
With a length of 2.5 m the smart City Coupé for 2 is shorter and more agile than other cars. But with TRIDION safety cell, ABS, air conditioning, two airbags, TRUST electronic traction and stability control, it is also safer than many larger ones. And what makes it fun to drive is a 55 hp turbo-charged engine and an automatic sequential 6-speed gearbox, which lets you shift gears like a Formula 1 pilot.
