SWISS<\/strong> monday unveiled its new Premium Economy Class, which will supplement its existing Economy, Business and First classes of travel from the fourth quarter of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium Economy Class travellers will enjoy greater privacy and enhanced inflight comfort, a major contributor to which will be the newly developed fixed-backshell seat. Premium Economy customers will also be offered a wide range of inflight cuisine, along with double the Economy Class registered baggage allowance and priority boarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Premium Economy Class cabin will gradually be installed aboard all 12 of SWISS\u2019s long-haul Boeing 777-300ERs, and is bookable from today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are delighted that, in introducing our new Premium Economy Class, we are meeting our customers\u2019 growing demand for more privacy, more comfort and more individuality,\u201d says SWISS CEO Dieter Vranckx. \u201cAnd by introducing our new class of travel, we are also further strengthening our premium positioning in the growing leisure travel segment.\u201d The new Premium Economy Class will be gradually installed aboard SWISS\u2019s 12 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft from the fourth quarter of this year. The entire SWISS Boeing 777-300ER fleet will feature the new Premium Economy Class cabin by the start of the 2022 summer schedules. In line with general market pricing, the one-way fare for the new Premium Economy Class will be around CHF 250 to 350 higher than its Economy Class equivalent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each SWISS Boeing 777-300ER will be equipped with 24 latest-generation Premium Economy Class seats from seat manufacturer ZIM. The comfortable seat is simple to recline, and is integrated into a fixed backshell to ensure zero intrusion into the personal space of the passenger behind. The new seat is wider than an Economy Class seat, too: between 46 and 48 centimetres, compared to 43.4. And seat pitch has been extended from the 78.7 centimetres of Economy Class to 99 centimetres, which translates into substantially more legroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add to their on-board comfort, SWISS Premium Economy travellers will be issued with a complimentary amenity kit that is specifically manufactured using sustainable materials. They will also receive their own high-quality noise-reducing headphones that will further enhance the film or the music experience offered via the seat\u2019s 15.6-inch inflight entertainment monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SWISS\u2019s inflight cuisine has also been specially tailored to the new class of travel. Premium Economy travellers will be offered a refreshing elderberry welcome drink, and will be able to choose from three hot meals all served on china tableware. The selection here will include a dish from the award-winning \u2018SWISS Taste of Switzerland\u2019 inflight culinary programme, together with a vegetarian option supplied by Hiltl, the world\u2019s oldest vegetarian restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
