SWISS Shorthaul Business Class Breakfast

Matthew Klint Posted onSeptember 2, 2017November 14, 2023 2 Comments

Part of my travels this week included time in Zurich, a beautiful city in Germanic Switzerland. For my weekly Meal of the Week post, I’ll highlight breakfast on a shorthaul flight in SWISS business class.

I was traveling from Zurich to Rome on a 7:20a flight, with actual flight time of roughly one hour. The lounge in the A-gate area is currently under construction and the Aspire Lounge leaves something to be desired, so I boarded having only consumed a cup of yogurt and coffee.

Shortly after takeoff FAs distributed meal trays. The cold breakfast included bread, bircher muesli, prosciutto, grapes, cheese, and apple slices. I had freshly-squeezed orange juice and hot coffee with breakfast.

This is not the kind of breakfast I usually eat. I don’t have a big breakfast every morning in LA, but usually I’ll stick to muesli with yogurt and berries rather than bread, meat, and cheese.

But when I’m in Europe, I don’t mind a breakfast like this. In fact, I enjoy the change of pace.

My only tip for SWISS would be to do what Lufthansa does: heat the bread. Otherwise, it was a good breakfast for such a short flight.

And of course no flight on SWISS would be complete without chocolates:

I saved the chocolate for my wife.

    Weird…I did a ZRH-LHR flight in business on LX a few weeks ago and got basically a trio of appetizers for breakfast…nothing this substantial at all, and I feel like flight times are similar. I have a pic, but can’t upload it to your blog 🙁

    I had the exact same meal from CPH to ZRH in June. It would seem that Swiss only heat the croissants that they serve during breakfast and all other breads are served cold.
