The intercontinental debut of @flyswiss.bsky.social's first A350 and new Swiss Senses product was the culmination of years of work — and delay — for the airline.
It's a refined luxury without the ostentation of some other carriers, in short: very Swiss.

The throughline I see on the @economist.com’s list of most liveable cities is these are all places with robust transit, walkable and, mostly, bikeable urban environments.
Both Sydney and Melbourne are investing in new Metros, for example.

Made it to Boston, about 30 minutes late as we had to de-ice in Zurich.
The Terminal E extension looks so much nicer than the OG Terminal E, but this walkway to Terminal A is 😑

Check out @flyswiss.bsky.social new intercontinental standard on the A350.
And, yes, business class is an example in complexity for passengers with five different seats — or revenue potential for the airline.

I really like it when airports locate gate displays to places visible from the concourse.
I find it informative and, as Woods Bagot Principal Katy Mercer told me, it reduces "gate lice."
