In an accent that could not be more Swiss, flight attendant Janic offers us three tips on how to be perfectly prepared for boarding when flying on SWISS.
How To Be “Perfectly Prepared” For Boarding On SWISS
Let’s look at the three boarding tips in a “PSA” shared across all SWISS’ social media accounts.
1. On Lavatory Use
If you need to use the restroom, do it before boarding the plane.
Sure, this is a good idea. Not sure what it has to do with boarding, but yes…I do not understand why anyone would wait to use the lavatory onboard after boarding versus the much more spacious lavatories found in the airport concourse.
Chances are you won’t run into Larry Craig…
2. On Punctuality
Don’t like being stressed? Then be on time at the gate.
Better too early than too late!
Yes, the Germanic world and its fixation on punctuality…I’m not surprised. But yes, allowing extra time is generally a very smart move:
3. On Readiness
Have your boarding pass ready and check your boarding group. And remember your seat number.
See you soon onboard!
Do remember your seat number…and please don’t be the one who looks up at row one and checks your boarding pass, then looks up at row two, and checks your boarding pass, then looks up at row three, and…

Janic’s eye roll, though, is what makes this all so cheeky.
Well-done SWISS.
I really want to love LX. I was a big fan of SR, and flew it for years as a kid living in both Switzerland and the United States. Have flown LX a number of times since 2015 mostly JFK-ZRH/GVA and within Europe and I find the airline unimpressive. Service is usually friendly. Catering is very good in First and even in Business long haul, but I’ve never been on a punctual LX flight and the experience in Economy on the A330-300 is not amazing.
The best thing about Swiss is that it offers the best service of the LH group airlines but Swissair it ain’t.
Austrian is amazing, personally, I find much better than Swiss, which is fine but not anything amazing. Austrian food, punctuality, friendly FAs on both short and long hauls.
How about: “Have all the stuff you need to use on board with you inside a backpack that you will place under the seat in front of you.” That will avoid those stupid people that stay up blocking the aisle while people are trying to board getting headphones, water bottle, books, iPads, pictures of their mom, etc… from the carry on they just placed in the overhead bin. Find your seat, place your ass on that seat and stay there until after the seatbelts signs are off when the plane is in the air.
Huge Hi-Five for the Larry Craig reference. His excuses for his deviant behavior were legendary. And the jokes wrote themselves.
Plus he taught Lindsey Graham to be much more careful.
Do remember your seat number…and please don’t be the one who looks up at row one and checks your boarding pass, then looks up at row two, and checks your boarding pass, then looks up at row three, and…
I’d add to that, “If you’ve somehow forgotten how to count during your trip between your home/hotel and the airport, rest assured that (row) 33 does NOT come after (row) 3 or 4. No need to check your boarding pass at all until you’ve traversed half the plane.”
Janic is so cutesy, so mindful, so demure.
