Seats are the same. The Avro has less overhead luggage space.

I choose the most convenient airport for LON when I travel there. LHR can have long walks from where the LX flights park and fast track security in T1 for C pax, LCY can have long queues for security and no lounge for the return flight but much shorter walks .

Thanks rorschi and MichielR for the answer!

I will book the seat K as the middle seat would be left empty!

Have a reservation for 5 A/B (C-class) on a flight ZRH-DEL.
What do you think about the seats? Are the lav's disturbing?

Not only the lavs - but also the light from the galley, the smell from the galley, the noise from the galley and the dingdong when somebody presses the service button.

Is there a door-bump on 29A on LX A333?
 

Hello all - I am flying LX242 on a A330-300 next week ZRH-DXB, and got 29A on both ways. This is an excellent seat - emergency row, window which I prefer.

But some Airbus I remember on the emergency exit, there is a large bump from the door which makes seating very uncomfortable and almsot impossible to extend legs or sleep well. Is this the case here or it's not?

Thanks!

Hi, I am interested in your feedback on this seat. Did it have a "bump" (=slide) protruding from the Exit door? Would you say 29B is (significantly) better?

Thanks!

Hope someone answers before my flight Saturday - if not, I'll let you know! :D

A question for you frequent travellers on the new C class LX A340 (the renewed ones)- do you prefer the K seats or the A seats- and why? I don't see the advantage of the two armrests in the A seats- however perhaps I am missing something? Thanks- neither these threads nor seatguru have any advice that I can find.

If you look at the seatmap at this link, you will see that you have more personal space on the A side than on the K side and your seat is not "open" to the aisle as some K seats are.

Of course to each their own, but I think having two armrests can be quite neat. Have your laptop on one side and a drink and nibbles on the other, for example.

I'll be flying in the new C on the A340 for the first time in a couple of weeks. I thought of selecting an A seat outbound and a K seat on the way back, so I could compare the two.

On some flights it seems more difficult to get a decent K seat than a good A seat, as anybody can reserve K seats but only SEN/HON can reserve single A seats. I'll end up in 4A and 6A, since I couldn't decide whether K in even or odd rows would be better.

Hi NewbieRunner,

Can you select the seats on-line or you have to contact Swiss/M&M by phone?
In lh.com, when booking a ticket, automatically you can choose the seats, but I have never been able to do it in swiss.com. I do not know if it is because it is not possible or because I do not know how to do it.

Enjoy your flights in the new C on the 340. Nevertheless I hope you are op-uped and you enjoy even more. ;)

you cannot choose your seats on swiss.com (unless you do the 24h web-check-in). I always call SWISS and there you can make your seat assignment without problems.

Thanks alinghi90,

I always do OLCI and select seats, but I wondered if it was possible to book those also when buying the ticket.
I will contact Swiss by phone.

I booked on swiss.com and had to call LX for seat selection. When I first called, the agent told me some of the seats blocked on EF were not available but I called a few days later and managed to get the same seat I couldn't reserve earlier.

No, I don't think it's possible to choose seats or see what seats you have on swiss.com until OLCI starts.

I flew LX F for the first time a couple of months ago and wasn't exactly overwhelmed but I'm looking forward to trying the new C.

Thank you for the advisement.
8A it is.
