The SWISS Business & First Class Menu Thread
 

Dear Flyertalkers

Together with our moderator totti we decided to reorganize the LX menu thread. I am pleased that he has taken up my suggestion that we should have an index in order to facilitate the navigation. I will try to maintain the index on a regular basis.

I hope you'll enjoy this new thread and keep it alive with regular updates. As you can see there are still a couple of sectors missing. I am counting on you since I can't do all the flying and work ;). To encourage all of you, I will post a few menus from recent trips (some of them with pictures).

Thank you very much for your support and merry christmas.

Kindest regards, f4freeJunior

PS: Please don't forget to indicate the flight numbers and date alongside the menu. There is a small code written somewhere in the menu (e.g. F-161-C3 06/09-09/09 (161)). Please also indicate this code if possible. Thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you for taking on this task, f4freeJunior^.

May I add two suggestions:

• Indicate the date alongside each menu and in the index
• If I am not mistaken, the menus are usually the same for all flights Switzerland-North America and vice versa. Maybe it would be good to have a little overview on menu similarities ("Your flight is not on listed? The following destinations have identical menu options...").

+1 ^

+2

Also I believe (in my limited experience anyway) the same menu is offered every 3 months.

You may also like to ask Kiwi Flyer to update the link to the LX menu thread in this sticky.
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...ollection.html

Suggestion 1: Noted and already applied. Thanks for your suggestion!
Suggestion 2: concerning the overview I am not quite sure how to do that. I have no idea which flights have identical menus. Can you give me advice on that please?

Will just add the pics as the menu is listed in post (4)

thank you for uploading the pictures hilltopper. Which flight (and date) was that? Post #4 is ZRH-PVG but you were on a different flight right? I am asking so that I can link it correctly in the index. Thank you.

Sure, the flight was LX 242 ZRH-DXB and it was in September 2009. The only difference in the menu is the garnish which come with the first choice of main... according to my menu it is a "glazed sunchoke" rather than a "Jerusalem artichoke"... they take political sensitivities quite seriously at Swiss!

We need an LX Y menu thread. I flew a lot on LX Y to New York up to 2 years ago and the food was just as bad or worse than Continental.

I am flying Swiss First Class to Johannesburg in a week. Anybody knows what the menu is?

Anybody knows what the Swiss First Class menu is like for the month of January/ February leaving ZRH??

I have the latest ZRG-GRU F menu. See post below:

LX92 ZRH-GRU First Class DEC-FEB 2010
 

keeping this thread alive...
F-92-C1 12/09-02/10 (92)

... same menu today on ZRH-HKG
special of the day: veal sausage w/ roesti (very good)

Dec 2009 PVG to ZRH
 

Menu and Pictures of my Flight in LX F from PVG to ZRH can be found on my Flickr website...

Special was the same on ZRH-LAX last week as well as on the return. It was excellent. ^

Are you talking about this meal?? (see picture of veal sausage w/ rösti. Because that's what I had in DEC on HKG-ZRH in F and I was rather disappointed.

Well, it goes in the same direction. But my serving looked much better prepared for the veal sausage as well as for the roesti. Vegetables are a selection from varying offers anyway.

It was really tasty and just the right thing on that flight for me. ^ Like I must say (again), crew and service make the difference between LX and LH. I can sleep well in both seats and this make no difference to me, but I appreciate the (for me so far) always excellent service on LX. ^

From what I read here, am I right to say there is only one meal on ZRH-DXB in F ? and apperently 2 on DXB-ZRH ?

Any reviews/pictures for the HILTL meals?
(ORD-ZRH)

thanks

I posted a picture of a HILTL main dish in C for ZRH-ORD in the old menu thread (linked from the first post).

Sautéed tofu and vegetables, lime and turmeric sauce, basmati rice looked nicer than it tasted. I like spicy food but this one tasted too sharp and lacked subtlety with too much green onion.

Which menu on LX 54 BOS-ZRH in First
 

Hi,

I will be using LX 54 BOS-ZRH next week and just like to know if First is worth the extra miles and if they will be serving the full menu despite the late departure time (apx. 10pm).

Looking forward for your replies

Despite the chef signature dishes, LX again underperformed in F catering from an outstation... was not very impressed by the appetizers at all (except for the salmon which was as good as ever). there was the option of miso soup but I opted for the salad which was ordinary. Fish main was just about ok. Cheese and dessert were the saving grace of this rather average meal. Breakfast was equally bland. They ran of out of muesli which is rather incredible for a Swiss airline!

A more detailed trip report is in the works.

Unfortunately it happens on SWISS rather regularely that they run out of things in F. I once had a case that they ran out of socks. Additionally some of the F crews give you a weird look if you order a capuchino 45 minutes before landing on a night flight.

The 'before arrival snack' (began about 2hrs out) consisted of a trolley service with bite-sized selections of:

• Roast chicken slices
• Quiche
• Mediterranean salad

• Warm bread selection
• Then for afters a little chocolate pudding in a glass and a strawberry flan – afternoon tea style

Thanks alot.

ZRH-CAI Bus meal?
 

What kind of lunch can I expect from ZRH-CAI in C class on an A340? The menus that I saw seem to be old and wondering what the typical service is these days
Thanks

Bailey's yes (even on shorthaul), the others I don't know.

(btw, sticky updated)

any august jfk-gva/zrh menus?

First course consists of a mixed salad as it does already for years....boring!
That's followed by 3 choices for main of which one is meat, one fish and vegiterian. Followed by cheese, which is already on your tray when you receive the salad and dessert.

I think it's time they come up with something different for their starters in F. They have for years offered basically the same thing on the cart - salmon, crab claw, scallop, vegetables, sometimes beef slices. It would be nice to have a warm starter in F for a change!

all pairs well with the champagne however
