In the beginning it was British Airways to announce the change by offering, for a fee, a sought-after menu for its economy passengers. Closely behind also came Lufthansa, no more free service, if a passenger on a short/medium range economy flight wants to eat (well), they will have to pay.
Today it is Swiss's turn, being a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group, it was logical to expect it, but less obvious is the approach and the proposal: we're talking about a 26-page menu (yes, that's right twenty-six!). Unlike Lufthansa and British, this will be the proposal for all flights, not just short ones.
There is everything, in some ways reminiscent of Ryanair's menu where everything looks incredibly good but then when it comes time to open the envelope you already know that the experience will not be aligned with expectations. Let's hope that this time, in addition to the smoke, there will be a roast.
The new proposal is called Swiss Saveurs
This spring the airline will extend its award-winning culinary concept to most European flights in SWISS Economy.
With SWISS Saveurs, a wide range of culinary delicacies are offered for all palates: typical dishes, first-rate products and attention to the environment, these are the pillars of the new proposal.
The range of fresh products was created by the world-renowned Confiserie Sprüngli, which can look back on an impressive history. The culinary offering is complemented by a selection of snacks from Switzerland's best-loved brands. SWISS Saveurs menu items will be available for purchase on flights longer than 50 minutes.
Although SWISS Saveurs is not offered on very short flights, flight guests will continue to receive a complimentary bottle of water, named SWISS Altitude 1150, and the iconic SWISS Chocolate on all flights.
SWISS Saveurs is all about the passenger-from a morning snack to a hearty dinner. From burgers to diet platters, salads to fusion cuisine to a charcuterie board.
In conclusion
This offer is not new to Swiss, but now it will be extended to all routes and on the entire fleet. So goodbye to trolley service and welcome a la carte menus. I personally find this choice a proposition win win. The passenger, if he or she wants, eats a quality product, the company saves on service, and fewer products are wasted. We hope it becomes a standard.
