Swiss C-class in Europe
to previous topic :
I flow Swiss C class on Avro and Saab 2000 / ERJ recently :
- meals on flights longer than 1h30' in C are hot (salad and small hot plate), but that hot part look "unidentify" and taste bad - a lot of pax don't want to eat that "mix" - just refreshment
- Saab and ERJ has no divider between C and Y (servis the same, but when you fly C you are not able to seat on the rear part - emergency exit row http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif )
- only important differebce is lounge access - Swiss lounge in Basel is Generous (roomy, nice view, clean showers, wide snacks and dinks service
So - If I have a short transfer in ZRH or EAP - I'd rather prefer economy.

While the service on board of the S20 or ERJ is the same regardless of class, there are quite a few things that are different:
------------------
airOli, the Swiss Air Line.
- C pax check in at C counters.
- C baggage is handled with priority.
- C pax have lounge access.
- C tickets are normally more flexible in terms of rebooking, cancelling etc.
- C pax get the class of service bonus, i.e. 50% more but at least 2000 instead of 1000 status miles.

Raf,
Normaly you should get a hot meal even if your flight time is less then 90 minutes.
But it depends, for example from GVA to LHR and return, normaly you get a hot meal in C-class.
Last time I flew from LHR to GVA I "only" got a salad (70 min flight time). But from GVA to LHR I had a hot meal (75 min flight time); so it really depends.
