I wonder if the service style on LX23 is any different given the earlier flight time? Though having said that, I suppose my chief concern will be to get a decent sleep.

I suggest trying the food, they also have a really quick option. the hot lounge food at JFK was only OK.


I like swiss though,

As much as I criticise LX the single meal service out of JFK is just perfect, especially on LX 15 you want to get as much sleep as possible and it's to late for a full meal service. To be honest I somethimes wish the service can be even faster that within 1 hour after take off the cabin lights are switched off.

December 2011 C Menu (JFK-ZRH)

Seems to be single tray on the "short" evening flights out of JFK. Food in new JFK lounge (terminal 4) was ok.

I got the following good single tray menu in C on LX 17 (6.10PM) from JFK to ZRH in December (sorry, forgot to take a picture of the dessert):

Interesting that even the early flight is a single trey setup too. It must be the fact that it is an overnight flight.



So this begs to question what is the standard C meal service like?

Actual flight time from JFK or BOS to ZRH can be quite brief with the winter tailwinds. Last night's BOS-ZRH was 6 hours and 14 minutes in the air. It's no surprise they utilize the single tray out of the US Northeast to expedite service and allow one to get some sleep. ^

LX 39 SFO - ZRH, 24/12/2011, SWISS Business

The menu was almost exactly the same in C for California - Zurich, except that there was an addition of a first course:

Prosciutto, roasted peppers filled with goat's cheese
Baby rocket and shaved Parmesan
or

Flaked hot-smoked salmon, horseradish sauce
Red-skinned potato salad, asparagus
-

Seasonal salad with vinaigrette

Also the winelist that tom-r6 posted cuts off the Port choice, which is Porto Niepoort Tawny from Niepoort Vinhos in Douro. I'm doubtful the Port choice ever changes, though. What follows are the other pictures of I took of my meals:


First course overview


Sauted fillet of beef with jus li, potato wedges
Roasted parsnip with maple syrup and butternut squash


Panna cotta with maple syrup and crushed ginger cookies


Cheese selection


Post dinner chocolate


Complimentary cookies. I'm assuming these were given out because it was Christmas?


Cheese, bread, yogurt & tea for breakfast


Plain omlette with sausage & cherry tomato

I will be flying 2 Swiss business Europe flights later this winter. I am wondering if anyone can comment on what is offered on the short 1.5-2 hour flights in terms of meals? The only info I found on this forum about Swiss C class is for their long haul flights. If it makes any difference, one flight departs at 9:45 am, the other departs at 12:00.

*****

I found something I hadn't known before on this flight. In First Class on flights from NRT, FAs have a pictorial guide to the menu prepared by Gate Gourmet in Japan. I knew SWISS in Japan published First and Business Class menus for LX160/161 on their website (http://www.swiss-japan.co.jp/service...al/zurich.html & http://www.swiss-japan.co.jp/service...al/narita.html) because Japanese passengers want to know what they'll be eating on the plane before they fly. (LH also publish menus in all three classes served on flights to/from Japan.)

But if you are in F, you'll want to see what you'll be eating as well. I must ask for a pictorial menu next time.
