Wonder how quickly it will return to service.

My flight is on Thursday from JNB, which means that the refitted plane needs to be on ZRH-JNB on Wednesday.

Looking at fr24.com these two "flights" were ground tests. It doesn't look like the plane took off. At least not yet.

HB-JMH goes JNB tonight as per FR24. Unfortunately, Wednesday night from JNB should get refurbished F.

Now, HB-JMI is actually flying as LX5202 and drawing penises in the air over DRS:

Hi,

Does anyone know if Swiss will turn the A330 cabins into the same as 777?
The IFE in J on the 330s takes one back a few decades. Even new Y cabins have better than that.

Yes there are no plans to upgrade the A333 cabins.

The IFE is not that bad...

The A330 will get the new LH group cabin in 2022-25.
