By the end of May, all of the airline&#8217;s Boeing 777-300ERs will be equipped with the new class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur SWISS Premium Economy Class is a top-quality standout product against our international competitors,\u201d says SWISS Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) Tamur Goudarzi Pour. \u201cAnd I am delighted that we can now offer our customers this new best-in-class air travel experience. Our Premium Economy Class should be especially appealing to travellers who have flown Economy Class to date and would like to enhance their inflight comfort and convenience. So it also helps us strengthen our premium-carrier positioning in the growing leisure travel market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A newly-developed seat for more privacy and comfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the Boeing 777-300ER the new SWISS Premium Economy Class will offer 24 latest-generation seats from manufacturer ZIM. The comfortable seats, with fabrics provided by the Bern-based Lantal company, feature a hardshell design that enables them to be easily reclined at no inconvenience to the passenger behind. They also feature quality noise-reducing headphones that will further enhance your onboard audio and video entertainment experience available on its 15.6-inch screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SWISS is the first airline in the Lufthansa Group to offer its customers this newly-developed ZIM Premium Economy seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related
