Swiss has started deploying its B777-300ER on the Zurich–Singapore route.
The Star Alliance member currently serves the Lion City once a day, and uses the Boeing aircraft on three of its seven weekly services. The remaining four flights continue to be served by the A340-300, but the B777-300ER will take over all operations from March 2017.
Swiss’ B777-300ER has been outfitted with a three-class configuration, with eight seats in first, 62 in business and 270 in economy. In-flight internet is offered throughout all three cabin classes, with prices starting at CHF9 (US$9) for a 20MB data package. First class customers however are offered 50MB of data for free.
