Swiss 777

Boeing 777-300 operated by Swiss Airlines may transport 340 passengers in three classes.

First class consists of 8 open suites that have 180 degrees recline. These suites are located in 2 rows per 4 in each. All of them are standard.

Behind the first class seats of business class are located. There are totally 62 flat bed seats here that also have 180 degrees recline. These seats are divided into 2 sections.

First section contains 2 rows of seats that per 5 in each. Extra legroom makes the seats of the 4th row good seats.

The only disadvantage of the seats 5A and 5K are misaligned windows.

1. SWISS Boeing 777 Wing Damaged by Airstairs MIAMI – Yesterday, a SWISS Boeing 777-300 (ER)’s port side wing was damaged by a mobile air stair unit at Sao Paulo/Guarulhos Airport (GRU) in Brazil. The aircraft, HB-JNK, was delivered new in November of 2019 to SWISS. The aircraft’s scheduled outbound flight (LX93) to Zurich was canceled.
2. Jun 05, 2020 Air Canada has also joined the 777 “CARRY-freighter” club and has modified three of the model, removing 422 seats from each aircraft. Austrian Airlines is also a member with one converted 777. SWISS and Austrian parent carrier Lufthansa has opted to modify four A350s and is working on the world’s first A380 cargo-only.

The second section of business class seats is located behind the exit row. There are 11 rows of seats here.

Overview The SWISS Boeing 777-300ER is configured with 8 First Class suites, 62 open suite Business Class seats that transform into fully lie-flat beds, and 270 standard Economy seats. Swiss Connect WiFi internet access is available on this aircraft. The SWISS 777-300ER First Class cabin includes eight semi-enclosed first class suites (two rows of 1-2-1 seating). Suites have beautiful wood finishes and the seat is comfortable in all positions. Seat controls were available in the center console and included a massage function. I’m the new Boeing 777-300ER, the flagship from SWISS. But you can call me Triple Seven. I would like to take you on a tour and tell you more about me.

Passengers tend to gather while waiting to use lavatories and this may cause discomfort to passengers of the seats 6DG, 7A and 7JK.

Missing windows are the main disadvantage of the seats 8A, 8K and 11A, 11K.

Economy class may accommodate 270 passengers in two sections. Most of the seats in the economy class have 3-4-3 configuration.

The best seats in the economy class are considered the seats 22DEFG, 23BC and 23HJ. These seats offer extra legroom to passengers. However, these seats are narrower than standard as the tray tables are in the armrests making them immovable and have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

Missing windows, reduced width of the seats and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing make the seats 23A and 23K bad seats. On the other hand these seats have extra space for passengers’ legs.

The noise that is coming from the lavatories and galleys will represent problem to passengers of the seats of the 36th row – the last row of the first section.

The second section of economy class seats contains 14 rows of seats.

Passengers of the seats of the 39th row and 40DEFG will feel comfortable thanks to extra legroom. Among disadvantages of these seats: reduced width as the tray tables are built-in the armrests making them immovable, lack of floor storage during take-off and landing and close location of the galley and lavatories.

The seats 50AB and 50JK have limited legroom, reduced width as the tray tables are in the armrests. At the same time these seats have extra storage space.

Proximity of the lavatories may represent problem to passengers of the seats 51AB, 51D, 51G, 51JK and 52DEFG. Also the seats 51AB and 51JK are less reclining than standard. That is why these seats and the seats of the last 52nd row are considered bad seats.

It’s Sunday again, so it must be time for some more airplane art.

This week, we have a Swiss International Air Lines Boeing 777-300ER taking off from Zurich Airport as it departs from the cold, heading for the skies.

Swiss operates a fleet of 12 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in its long-haul fleet. These are supplemented by Airbus A330-300 and Airbus A340-300. The airline also operates the Airbus A220-100, Airbus A220-300, Airbus A319, A320, Airbus A321, Airbus A320neo and Airbus A321neo in its short haul operation.

This aircraft – HB-JNG – joined the Swiss fleet in February 2017.

It operated initially under Swiss Global Airlines and moved into the main Swiss International Air Lines fleet in April 2018. The aircraft is configured in a three-class configuration, with First, Business and Economy Class seating.
