Was the booking made online or through the HON hotline?

Yeah it looks like it's only the first week in August that switches (is that also Olympics related?). I noticed it's back to 777 after the first week of August.

I'm on the 777 in F in mid-July. Looking forward to it, and hoping no aircraft swaps!

LX F can not be booked online, regardless of status.

I booked a revenue F ticket on the 77W ZRH-SFO on 8/30. I noticed that it's now been switched to the A340 (which no notice of any kind). I don't see the 77W in the schedule… anyone know what happened there?

When are the 77Ws back on?

SWISS in this week’s schedule update is delaying planned Boeing 777-300ER debut on Zurich – San Francisco route, previously scheduled from 30AUG16. The latest adjustment sees the 777 will enter service on this route from 16FEB17, operating on 3 of 7 weekly flights.

Have choice to fly A333 in F from ZRH-JFK or the 773 from ZRH-YUL (and then take AC to LGA from there). It's actually cheaper doing YUL route but does add a few hours and 1 extra flight.
Question is whether the F cabin in 773 is that much better than in A333. Mostly seat I guess since assume service, AVOD, etc all the same. But maybe not...

AVOD is not the same - different system and a larger screen on the 77W.

Are you sure? I flew in F on a 330 yesterday, and the AVOD system seemed to have been upgraded to the same interface as used on the 77W, with the much nicer UI and selections.

Could have just happened so maybe you are not aware.

Thx. Is there car transport between terminals at ZRH for F customers? Coming in from London

LX flights from London normally arrive at D. The flight to YUL normally also departs from D.

Concerning transfer in ZRH, there are more threads further down.
