Hfly I am also completely "allergic" to Swiss International Airlines. This is based on my 4 transatlantic flights with them in Y and obnoxious treatment in their Business Class lounge, which according to Alitalia I was entitled to use.

I plan to take my next trip on Continental, which is not so great but certainly better than LX.

I understand their short hops though in Y are excellent but they are planning to downgrade their service on the shorter routes too.

okay,
if you are allergic to swiss on base of 4 trips what are you doing on this bulletin board.
my transatlantic flights on LX were perfect ( execept on 4-10-01)even in economy (i have to admit that's long time ago)
lets use this site for news and help not for complaints about LX

Medico to answer your question. Please check the posts before accusing me of using the board for criticising Swiss. I was defending another poster who was being criticised for his negative comments about Swiss by voicing my "understanding" to his comments.

I see nothing wrong in his posting his comments. There is no "rule" about posting positive or negative experiences on this Board.

Now to answer your question why I read the posts here. Simply put because I am "stuck" with Swiss and fly with them (only transatlantic) even though I am "allergic" to them. By the way my opinion is not only based on the 4 transatlantic flights in Y class but I will not delve into the other reasons. If I had a nonstop choice to fly on another carrier it would not upset me so much. Presently I have no choice as Swiss have a monopoly on nonstop flights to where I travel to. This will fortunately change soon.

As it is the Swiss taxpayer who bailed out this airline I can assure you that I really wish them well and hope they "change" and succeed.

Another reason I am interested in Swiss is that I have been flying on Swiss/Swissair for 46 years, since 1956, when I was still a kid and we were spoilt rotten. I remember travelling on their DC-6s,Convair 440s, Caravelles, Coronados, DC-8s, DV-10s, 747s etc, so I follow this airline for "sentimental" reasons.

I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction.
