Frequently asked
Which is better in business: British Airways or SWISS on LHR-ZRH?
Club Europe (British Airways, A320neo) edges out Business Class (SWISS International Air Lines, A220-300) in business, scoring 1.8/10 vs 1.4. The deciding factor: Paid Wi-Fi vs No Wi-Fi. SWISS International Air Lines fights back on seat width.
Which is better in economy: British Airways or SWISS on LHR-ZRH?
Euro Traveller (British Airways, A320neo) and Economy (SWISS International Air Lines, A220-300) score virtually the same in economy: 3 vs 2.7/10. The biggest gap is wi-fi — Paid Wi-Fi vs No Wi-Fi — but neither carrier pulls ahead overall.
What are the best seats in British Airways Euro Traveller on LHR-ZRH?
Best: Row 12 has 35 inches of pitch, the most generous in the cabin. Rows 2-10 have 30-inch pitch with Collins Pinnacle seats that have more padding and 3 inches of recline. Row 11 has 34-inch pitch. If Club Europe is not full, rows 4-6 in Euro Traveller may use the better Pinnacle seats. Avoid: Rows 13-30 have Recaro SL3510 slimline seats with only 28-29 inches of pitch, no recline, no AC power, and no headrest. Last two rows (29-30) have limited space and are close to both toilets and galley noise. The A320neo has two distinctly different seat types. Rows 1-12 use the more comfortable Collins Pinnacle seats with more padding, headrests, AC power, and 30-inch pitch. Rows 13-30 use slimline Recaro seats with 28-29 inches of pitch, no recline, and only USB-C power. There are no seatback IFE screens; BA offers streaming via the BA app on personal devices. WiFi is available for purchase. The Club Europe / Euro Traveller cabin split is flexible: typically the first 4-8 rows are Club Europe, with the movable divider adjusted per flight based on demand. Total capacity is 180 seats in a single 3-3 layout. Exit row seats on the A320/A321 family offer extra legroom but do not recline. The row immediately before the exit also has limited recline due to clearance requirements.
What are the best seats in SWISS Business Class on LHR-ZRH?
Best: Window seat (A) — the 2-3 layout means window-side gets only one neighbor. Most private seat in any European short-haul business. Avoid: Middle seat in the 3-abreast side (D) — blocked but still less room than window pair. A220-300 has unique 2-3 layout (not 3-3). Window-side business seats have no middle seat AND only one aisle neighbor — structurally the most private option in European short-haul. But zero power and zero WiFi.
What are the best seats in SWISS Economy on LHR-ZRH?
Best: Window seat on the 2-abreast side (A/B) — only one neighbor. Wider 19-inch seat throughout. Avoid: Middle seat in the 3-abreast side (D). No power anywhere. 125 economy seats in 2-3 layout. 19-inch width (wider than typical A320 at 18"). 30-inch pitch. No power, no WiFi, no IFE. The A220 cabin is notably quieter and has larger windows.
