You must have gotten a really bad day that day.
Yes....SBB. Don't get me wrong, I love the Swiss train system but this trip AND the two previous ones (Dec '07,June '07-both were stopped at HB and we had to transfer to another going to Flughafen) has shown me I have no luck on the day I depart. I travel 4 hours every day on SBB and have a "once in a while" problem, but as a warning to all, if you see me on the train going to Flughafen, don't get on.

It is not the same. The C class seats on the A330-200 is 10 years old and it is outdated seats that do not recline or give you any good night sleep. While on the A340 the seats are much better and have better recline.

train lover, just inform us when you are in town.
We will be happy to meet you at one of our famous Stammtisch
We also will avoid the train to the airport that day.

Everyone is safe until Feb '09....although I might have to come back sooner. Yes, it would be great to meet up at one of the future Stammtischs. I was there for the one in June but I was tied up with other things.

Took LX41 yesterday and can confirm the great experience. the inflight service was superb in C ^

The seat however was not comfortable at all and also way too short. I had to pull my legs into an angle all the time and I'm just 1.85m !

I would take it anytime again over UA anyways ... and LH as well !

Oh yeah, the LX ground staff in LAX isn't very good
