Do you know anything about the timing of the refurbishment?

I have just been informed of an aircraft change of my flight to BKK in April 2017, which means A340 instead of 777 and I definitely don't want to fly in the old F cabin.

Seriously, Is it worth installing new F on an old A340-300? My flight next week is on an old A340 Was hoping for a 777 but no such luck still the only one in F according to the seat map on Swiss.com but F=7A=7 has gone to F=5 A=5 What gives?

I see that Swiss is offering an intra Europe 777 Business class instead of the stinky normal biz class on the A321, on one day a week. I was looking at ZUR-ATH. Is this new? I am hoping it will continue for next year.

It seems HB-JNA went tech.
Flight cancellation for LX138 already announced at 2.30 PM to me. At 3.20 PM ZRH airport also announced the cancellation.

Edit: flight is now planned for tomorrow morning. However I have been rebooked via FRA tonight.

I was wondering why LX40 has a 8-hour delay today, thanks for the answer ^

Hmm, this may cost LX quite a bit of money if all passengers claim their compensation...

Is it just me or do I have the impression that there are a lot of delays with the 777 operation?

LX is well-known to be even more stiffy about paying compensation (or informating the pax about it, for a starter) than their mother LH.. (not that other airlines are actually much better about it..)

You can expect that if they'll eventually pay out compensation (if any) that will be to a low single digit number of pax..
