SWISS will debut a premium economy product on long-haul flights in spring/summer 2021. The class will be available first on the carrier’s Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, and it will later extend to the airline’s entire long-haul fleet as part of a $39 million investment.

SWISS’s newly developed premium economy cabin seat will feature an additional 20% pitch for more legroom, allowing the carrier to compete more closely with similar products offered by Austrian Airlines and Lufthansa. The seats also provide 10% more width and a 25% greater incline for a more peaceful rest and overall comfortable flight experience.
