Second, we were on the Plane for close to 4 hours due to cargo issues then it was door locking issues. First, we had reserved seats 37J and 37K due to my medical condition with my shoulder. I had the unfortunate luck of being on Swiss Airlines. United Airlines partners with Swiss Airlines. Years ago I flew on Swiss Airlines and they were great. The old SWISSAIR was a great airline, but if I could choose, I would fly another option rather than today's SWISS.This is the worst experience I have ever had with any airline. You can override this at a price.įinally, on the return flight from Brazil GRU (Saò Paulo) there is no way to check-in beforehand which means you just get given a lousy seat. On internal flights in Brazil, I have much more space both in the width and legroom.Īlso SWISS don't bother about your preferred seating associated with your account, they give you what they decide.

It used to be more comfortable in the older 340 planes although the entertainment systems were forever failing.Įconomy passengers are now treated like cattle. On these flights to Brazil which I, a 71 year old, do regularly, the 10.5 hours is a pure torture and if I could find another way I would, The only thing redeeming this flight to/from Brazil is the flight window which is convenient, you fly at nighttime. The result of which if you have an aisle seat is that you are pushed out by the persons shoulders on one side so that your shoulders overhang into the aisle and you are forever being hit by the trolley and people moving about the aircraft.Īt 183cm I have zero space between my knees and the seat in front and when the person in front goes into the lounge position it hurts. The plane was designed originally for 9 seats / row, SWISS are using 10, the seats are narrower, have less legroom and the aisle is also narrower too.
