Mini cabin, with the following caveat: if you are a solo traveler and single seats are only available in the larger rear cabin, then obviously a single seat in the rear cabin over a "shared" double in the mini cabin.

During the summer 2017 time table, ORD should get the 777 on a daily basis ^

So you are saying that the mini cabin is good if you are 2, we are 2 and have chosen row 5, 2 seats together. I thought that cabin would be a little more private then the larger cabin.

fyi: row 5 is missing a window. hope you're still fine with it, it's not as bad as it may sound.

A question for the braintrust...
I'm traveling solo in C on LX40 ZRH-LAX, and my travel agent has booked me into 4K.
Looking at ExpertFlyer, it appears that all of the center seats in the rear cabin, including the "mini-thrones" are available.
Am I better off staying in 4K or moving to one of the seats with more room in the center of the rear cabin? I don't honestly care that much about the window - in fact, I have a bad knee, so I would prefer to get in and out of my seat easily.
To change, it appears that I would have to call LX, because it says "Seat(s) are reserved for all fellow passengers."
Thanks,
Greg

I assume this means that all the single seats are taken in business. I would much prefer one of the mini-thrones in the rear cabin then, not too far back, instead of 4K. And you can always check closer to the flight or a seat tracking app if a single seat becomes available closer to the actual flight.

We are like a free gang of shills for an airline that has descended through the ranks of all LCCs. Shame on LX and shame on us.

The New C Swiss Product looks great....
I have a question about upgrading from C to F.
I will be travelling from Zurich to SFO on a *A Partner reward, do Swiss usually present upgrade options at check-in or at the airport and what has typicallybeen the upsell price?
