The way Swiss's cabin is set up you end up with some single J seats which are kind of like a throne hence the nickname, Google it. They're supposed to be reserved for HON circle members but sometimes you can convince a phone agent to seat you in one.


That looks like it is the "Privacy Seat" which it seems they are charging $99 for. Interestingly on the TLV-ZRH leg all of the B seats look greyed out. Any idea why? I think I will move this to the FC/BC product thread.

I wonder what they do if you book after all other seats have been reserved.

If you don't want to stop somewhere in the middle east you'll have to fly back to Europe.

Those who have flown it are all dead or missing so there's really nobody here that can give you a first hand account.

You asked for MR transfer option. I find that M&M has the real YQ and the others make it up. AC has diff YQ for J and F while M&M has same YQ for both. UA Doesnt have YQ but you pay more in value of points.
