A week ago the cocktail and wine list was identical to the one posted above but there was a new pre-flight dinner menu.





In addition there was a buffet of cold and warm items and desserts.

Wow, an in-flight buffet?

NewbieRunner

Sorry to disappoint but it's part of the pre-flight offerings in the JFK LX FCL.

Just have a quick question!

Swiss is never clear about the pre-arrival meal on their Swiss First Class flights. I am flying F from ZRH to YUL at the end of the month, and what is usually offered as a pre-arrival meal? Will their offer a warm item? In J they seem to offer pasta as one of the choices. Will F receive a similar pre-arrival meal?

Thanks for any information!

It is often a bit disappointing (compared to the main service). Often it consists of a warm/hot quiche and salad plus some dessert. What I often do, is to ask the FA during the main service to reserve me one of the main dishes for the second service (often the Swiss specialty that is not on the menu). As F is generously catered and some people do not take a main dish this was never a problem. On a recent flight ZRH-ORD I had a wonderful raclette as pre-arrival meal and once a cheese fondue which was equally delicious.

Thank you for your advice!

Currently Swiss is testing a caviar service (similar to LH) on flights ex SFO in first class. My feedback: fine as long as they keep the (return catered) Balik Salmon too





In case you wonder: no, I forgot to ask which caviar they serve/test

In case the whole Nov. first menu is of interest (ZRH-LAX, SFO-ZRH) let me know, though I think the 'truffle symphony' special ex ZRH is already gone again.

Has the chef from 7132 Silver provided cuisine for Swiss first before? I'm intrigued by his restaurant and flying in January.
