From today, SWISS Business Class passengers on short-haul flights will also enjoy the option to select from additional main courses before their flight.
The new offer is free and includes hot or cold dishes, depending on destination, which will be changed every three months. This option is available on the majority of short and medium-haul flights departing after 10 am.
Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is now offering Business Class passengers on most short and medium-haul flights the option of choosing from additional main courses before boarding. Known as “Pre-Select”, this free option was successfully launched on long-haul flights around two and a half years ago. It allows passengers to choose from a wider range of meals to suit their personal tastes during the flight.
On short-haul flights of over one hour from and to Zurich, passengers may now choose from a total of six cold dishes which are served with cheese and a dessert. On longer flights, there is a total choice of seven hot main courses depending on destination – including one dish from the “SWISS Taste of Switzerland” menu, which is otherwise only offered on long-haul services. The hot main courses are served with cheese and a dessert, plus a salad. The dishes are changed every three months to ensure variety. The current choice may be viewed online at any time.
Greater choice and improved sustainability
With “Pre-Select”, guests enjoy a wider choice of meals while also facilitating optimised planning, which in turn supports the sustainable use of food. A more targeted loading process makes it possible to further reduce the unnecessary disposal of food and decrease waste. SWISS passengers can order their preferred dish online, any time from six weeks up to 24 hours before departure. This option is available on short-haul flights departing after 10 am. On flights departing before 10 am, the usual catering service will be available.
