TRIP REPORT | First Time on Swiss A330! | Boston to Zurich | SWISS Airbus A330

Swiss Trip Report flying from Boston to Zurich onboard one of the Swiss Airbus A330 on a beautiful night over the Atlantic and morning over Europe.
A comfortable flight onboard the Swiss Airbus A330-300 from Boston to Zurich. The A330 still offers the 2-4-2 seat configuration, which is perfect for those seated on the window seats. This was also my first time flying from Boston Airport and, of course, it's also for the channel.
After a nice planespotting session at Boston airport, we boarded our A330 and took off from Boston just a few minutes after the scheduled time of departure. Just a few seconds after liftoff we made a steep turn to the left and set course towards the North-Atlantic ocean. Ahead of us around 7 hours of flight.
Around 3 hours after takeoff the Sunrise started in the middle of the North-Atlantic ocean. As always in these cases, it was me and Sunrise. Everyone on the plane was sleeping. It's a really magical moment. Everything is silent, nobody is moving.
Regarding the onboard service, the crew served just after departure the main catering service (dinner service). There were 2 options: pasta with vegetables or chicken with rice. I went for the chicken option. It came with a very basic salad (lettuce and carrot), bread, butter and cheese, and a little piece of cake as dessert.
In general, it was quite good. Not the best, of course, but not the worst either. Definitely better than the main airline in the Lufthansa Group. As the portions weren't really big, I asked for another main meal. In this case, was the vegetarian option. The cake, by the way, was terrible. But I was so hungry that I decided to eat it in 2 bites just to fill my stomach for the next 6 hours.
I would also like to mention that it's clear that these A330s are at the end of their career in Swiss: the IFEs are entirely outdated, there are no sockets (just a super-slow USB charger) and seats, although they were quite comfortable, they looked old.
As a final conclusion, I would also like to point out that it's really sad to see how iconic airlines are downgrading more and more the economy class service. Looks like every airline touched by the Lufthansa Group got the order to cut costs to the max level. Lufthansa's service is just a joke compared to what it was. Swiss, from what I've seen in some old Trip Reports on KZbin is starting to follow the same path. I'm curious about how the Austrian Airlines long-haul service is. Luckily, we'll see it soon on the channel!
Now it's your turn! Have you ever flown with SWISS? Which route? How was the experience? Which plane do you prefer for long-haul? The A330 or the B777? Have you ever been in Zurich? Maybe in Boston? Have you ever done a transatlantic flight?
Lots of things to talk about! Read you all in the comments!

My Opinion is Swiss the best Airlines in Lufthansa group.Great work

[@samroy5967]

Did you see the breakfast that was served? It can’t have the title BEST AIRLINE after that 😂

[@islandcactus1508]

Absolutely love your videos. Not only do you provide us with a great reviews but you also show us which other airlines are going where. You create an ecosystem within each trip you do!

Nice trip report. I like it that you always show the sunrise/sundown. And it is interesting to see the vegetarian and the not vegetarian meal.

[@scottsheehan1596]

i grew up northeast of Boston and have used Logan many many times.for you to say it is a nice airport,they must have redone it or something,cause it sucked when i was young.glad it is nicer now.

[@azucenasanchezdiaz1892]

Hola Lucas¡¡ Qué vuelo tan tranquilo y bonito por el amanecer¡¡¡ La gente no sabe o no quiere saber que es mejor no dormir en el vuelo y luego dormir en el destino para que el jet-lag no haga estragos. Yo no puedo dormir en ningún avión, siempre voy mirando por las ventanillas o leyendo, pero dormida nunca. No me preguntes por qué. Swiss es una buena compañía aérea, me parece a mi, por lo que veo en tus videos. Me gusta y si tengo que viajar alguna vez a algún sitio y vuela Swiss seguro que reservo con ellos. Muy bonito el reportaje del aterrizaje con el rio Rhin separando Alemania de Suiza y la campiña tan verde de Suiza. Precioso el viaje¡¡¡

Glad to see LH still flying the 340-600.

This trip very nice. The food looked so tasty 😊. Thank you for the tour .

[@OnBoardHD]

Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to fly back to Boston again! :)

[@TheVaughan5]

I’ve only used Swiss once, in Business class, and it was great. From that one experience I’d rate them among the best.

[@prinscharles4817]

Amazing video 😀🙏

My opinion, this a very Best chenal, trip report I'M LAÉRCIO FROM FLORIANÓPOLIS BRASIL 👊

Love KBOS! That bagel actually looks better than the Yogurt/Granola combo we usually get on other airlines.

[@georgecosta7209]

Nice video. Too bad about the bagel - love bagels.❤ As a NY’er, I can tell it’s ALL about the water😏

[@eisbeinGermany]

i flew on an A330 300 from Johannesburg to Zurich on 27 October 2022 flight Lx 283, sat in row 42, and what a nice flight, supper was about 50 % good,, but no real breakfast, only a small yogurt, bun small cheese, juice, will recommend the seat of 42 d anytime

[@davemulready]

Nice one pal

[@tobiojo6469]

Awesome video

Thanks :)

[@angelluisciezarubio4117]

Gran video amigo.....súper bien montado y organizado......no soy de ver videos de más de 5m. pero los tuyos los veo y ni me entero......sean 20m. o 30

[@Archduke17]

Given the late departure from BOS, a sandwich out of BOS and a hot breakfast prior to ZRH would probably have been more appropriate.

[@timbacchus]

I like that kind of breakfast.

[@gregt8638]

That lit-up winglet is really cool!..... though, I guess it could detract some of the view at night time

[@omarfontanet253]

Muy hermoso el video y los paisajes llegando a Zurich , el catering tendria que mejorar y mucho, el desayuno muy pobre, gracias por compartirlo , saludos desde Argentina

[@PragueImport]

I admire your appetite! I cannot eat on planes, even if fortunate enough to travel in a business class.

[@GamingZoneinfo]

Good video bro 🥰😍🥀

[@CoPILOTBOB]

5:46 That British airways plane!! I think it is an a380 if I am not mistaken. what a rare sighting!

[@ncarnaiz]

That landing was soooooo smooth. And so quiet. That business class configuration looks dated

[@OnBoardHD]

Glad that you've enjoyed it! :) Don't miss this Saturday's one! I promise we've never seen anything similar! :)

[@ASIERGARITA]

Me encanta. Aunque la comida por lo que dices.....

[@wallen2000]

Éramos el amanecer y yo... Qué poético te quedó jeje gran vídeo, felicidades!! Me refiero a poético porque lo que procedía era poner "vaya tontacos, lo que se pierden siempre... y para llegar con un jet-lag de morirse...". En la frase inglesa pones algo más amable y arreando jejeje

[@OnBoardHD]

jjajaj algo así, algo así :D Por cierto, mucho ojo al vídeo de este sábado! No hemos visto nada igual en el canal. Nunca. :)

[@toufiqsiddiqui7958]

Switzerland🇨🇭

[@semsemeini7905]

What is in the bagel? Cream cheese? They used to serve a decent croissant with jam. At least it's better than Granola Bar they serve on Virgin, Lufthansa and others.

[@semsemeini7905]

For 10 years they were serving a horrible chocolate brownie on every flight from the US. So some improvement. Also they now add pieces of carrot / cucumber in the salad. It used to be just plain lettuce. An improvement.

[@Manry65]

Después de Zurich ¿para donde vas? Excelente video. Mil saludos desde la Ciudad de Panamá. Luis

[@gianpaoloroder9199]

Buenísimo como siempre. Una pregunta. Al minuto 20:18 dices que tienes un vuelo de conección, pero poco después te sales de la terminal

[@fatmirqirezi7049]

shut up

[@Aegean001]

any more swiss longhaul flights planned?

[@_daxre]

Any chance to get the approach uncut?

[@robpittstop1797]

Hey buddy, how do you know these dest. information and the arrival from information on these planes, even while taxiing?

[@OnBoardHD]

While taxiing I don't know many of that info. I check it while editing with FR24, the airport info screens and my own knowledge :)

[@mohamedzaki2943]

I recommend you to get Egypt Air and give us your opinion

[@TeenageDream512]

I know it sound stupid but how many bags are we allowed to bring in this plane? Are you allow to bring one carry one and two bags?

[@OnBoardHD]

That depends on the fare you payed.

[@pigybak]

What was the turn around time?

[@Danilol_Gm]

can you fly swiss LX252 OR LX253 OR LX256 OR LX257

[@OnTimeReports]

Very disappointing to still see the lacklustre breakfast service onboard, looks like nothing has changed from when I flew YUL-ZRH in August 2021 (and only received a muffin), except that they increase the amount of carbohydrates you receive before landing.

[@ilovesuisse1]

Because Swiss Airlines belong to the Lufthansa Group, Lufthansa controls the finances, maybe they have done cost cutting especially because of the problems produced by Covid.

[@ilovesuisse1]

American food served, not surprised that the cake was artificial looking.

[@tzavvet]

When will you do a trip report with Aegean??????

thanks for the nice report :) i will fly with swiss for the first time in 15 days to go to bkk
