Got any suggestions on where I should go next? Let me know!!!

Welcome to iTripReport's flight reviews, which I focus on reviewing both the soft product and hard product of airlines around the globe. I strive to give you guys a first person perspective of different aspects of the flight. Including the ground service, onboard service, and those views that come with the flight. As you can see, I record quite a lot of the experience to make sure I record what you want to watch. As always, thank you so much for watching.

This video was great as we will be flying Edelweiss shortly; you answered all my questions without my having to search for the answers. Thanks!!

Nice that you took Edelweiss! I was actually on HB-JMF on Denver-Zurich 2 years ago.

Excellent trip report Emil! It’s funny to me because Edelweiss is supposed to be a discount Swiss yet the seat seemed the same and the service seemed far better than on other long haul Swiss videos I’ve seen.

I also recently flew with Edelweiss. The plane was completely full, but the experience was great with lots of drinks, friendly crew, plenty of bread, good food, etc. This reflects my flight experience well, though I did not have the possibility to claim other seats. : - )

Edelweiss look great here. They look like they have a very solid product that i've also seen on reviews elsewhere too. The crew seemed friendly and helpful, taking the time to explain options. Probably helped by the quieter load, but always good nonetheless. The A340 is a great aeroplane to catch too. I'll be trying out Edelweiss from Newquay in September this year. Looking forward to it!

It's definitely a bucket list plane to fly before it's gone.

Very nice report. 👍🏻
Only flew Edelweiss once from Zurich to Faro, Portugal. Service was amazing for a short intra-european economy class flight; breakfast and gingerbread snack. Definitely superior to transatlantic flight on Swiss. Would not hesitate to take Edelweiss again.

A340-300: Like you said, considered to be climbing solely due to the curvature of the earth; The only jet aircraft susceptible to a bird-strike from the rear.

Nice flight report. I flew on HB-JMG (Edelweiss a340) end of 2022 from ZRH to MRU with a stopover in SEZ. I tested their business class which was excellent too apart from the fact one can’t turn to the side once laid down due to the feet well. The seats are located just beside the engines so I had to put on provided earplugs. The throne seats offer lots of space and privacy. Service was nice, cabin crew friendly and polite. I’d go for Ecomax next time.

Such a cool aircraft I haven't been on yet. I'm in TPA now so maybe in the future, I need to catch her arriving one of these days. Edelweiss has pretty impressive service.

2-4-2 Is What I Preferred In Economy.Great Video And Info

[ramonaamerzin]

the mexican water made it on board because Edelweiss flies Cancun as well. for the inbound flight there‘s always an exchange where you get the local water from the outside stations. the water not fully used on that leg will be used for other flights :)

Enjoy the video, thanks for so much for sharing!

Thank you for this video. I'm flying this same Edelweiss Air A340 plane from Tampa (TPA) to Zurich (ZRH) in 8 days (Monday, 9/16) and you were able to answer all my questions regarding this flight. I was wondering about meals, drinks, entertainment, power outlets and WiFi availability. As of today the flight is only half full and I have no one sitting next to me in Economy. I plan to stretch out as this is an overnight flight. WHOOHOO! 😴🛌✈🥂🥂🍾🍷🍱

When this airplane flew for Swiss it had a first-class cabin up front. the business class seats and location were kept as is while the first class seats were removed and replaced by these economy max seats.

[emillikos]

I‘m going on a 12 hour flight from zrh-icn in september on the a340 I can’t wait
