I flew Edelweiss from Mauritius to Zurich last May, it was one of my favorite flights of all time, the crew came around like every hour or two with bread and were always attentive. Wouldn't mind flying with them again!

Honnestly Edelweiss has almost the best service from EU. Not only on long-Haul flights, but also across Europe, very nice to fly with them !

I agree with you, because I was a flight on edelweiss from Zurich to Pristina. They would bring us bread and other snacks. And the crew were so nice!

I am Swiss and I always enjoy flying edelweiss. The entertainment system was also working on the ground on my stopover flight from Zürich-Colombo-Maledives. The food is good, even tough the portions are a bit small in economy, the crew is always nice plus the entertainment system is probably the best on any leisure airline. However the legroom is to tight for a good sleep on a overnight flight (I am 183cm). Sometimes you are lucky to get a empty middle row tough and can sleep there. Also note that alcoholic drinks will be charged in economy (not in max and business). Also the breakfast is mostly just some "Birchermüesli" and no hot breakfast which you would get on other long haul flights...

@@xr6lad might also depend on where it's catered out of. Catering in some airports is better than others. I know someone recently said that catering out of any of the NYC airports is bad - but my experiences have been the opposite with VLML. It can also depend on who they use - Do&Co is probably the best there is, and the others are really hit-or-miss. Do&Co out of FRA, for example, is excellent.

Its a pity that it was a whole night flight ! In 2005, I flew Geneva - Mauritius with an Air Mauritius A340. We flew over the Indian Ocean in early morning and could see the many islands. It was simply marvelous ! Many thanks for this video thought !

Nice to see some airlines still flying the a340, miss seeing Virgin Atlantic’s at Heathrow

I quite like that Mauritius airport. It has a really nice water feature in the baggage-reclaim area.

Nice review. So many reviews of those gulf state airlines with B777 with narrow seats and 10 abreast. And nobody says “ oh, the 2-4-2 on a A340 is so much better!” Edelweiss is my top choice for a CPT trip.

Hello. I will fly A340 to CPT I have booked row 3rd, but I understood that all the seats are standard seat except the XL, but there is no Economy Max . The economy cabin has only standard seats. Which is the difference between the economy seats in front and the ones in the rear of the aircraft?

Last time i flew Lufthansa they forgot my vegetarian meals and gave me one from J class (I flew economy). I think they mentioned “Business class” like 10 times so I wouldn’t complain because the thing was just dry pasta with some oily vegetables on the side haha. It was fine for me since I got something to eat anyways (I personally don’t have high expectations for Y except maybe on SIA/JAL), but I feel bad for the vegetarian passengers in J!

I am so jealous of you flying on an A340 ... one of the few planes I have missed out on over several decades. According to what I am told, it provides excellent comfort and low noise levels for economy passengers.

I flown on so many different types of aircraft but not the A340. But a few months ago I flew on Swiss A340. which I was so excited about. Now after the flight I got to say that it’s not all that, but I still love it.

I find the seats horrendous. You can’t really stretch your feet like with other carriers, because the hard shell of the seat goes very deep

Wait do seats not normally recline?! I feel like you all don't usually go over that.

How are the seats in the 3rd row? I undesrtood that are standard seats...

Swiss and Edelweiss have some of the most outdated onboard safety videos. It’s like the same for the past 10+ years while others, especially in Asia and Netherlands (from my own travels) use creativity or its culture to show alongside the briefings, which really catch the eyes of passengers.

Hello Felix. Very interesting trip report. Sometimes it is better for you to bring your own food on the short-haul trips instead of being subject to the aircraft's fare on offer. For a 9 hr. 30 min. flight, I would definitely book whatever is considered Premium Economy (especially for the available larger legroom). One thing that I cannot stand is screaming kids (thank god for noise-canceling headphones which I always carry with me). This flight must have landed early in the morning considering you took off from the Seychelles in the dark as well. Overall, well done. Keep up the good work!

I recently flew Edelweiss and it was by far the worst experience as a passenger I have ever had. On the outgoing flight after a full day in the air we were served exactly 5 pieces of penne pasta in mayo and 4 pieces of old fruit for dinner! Cabin crew was extremely annoyed when asked for water. We were also not allowed to stand in the galley to wait for the restroom despite crew not doing a service and seatbelt signs being off. Same issues with food, water and movement on the inbound flight. Apparently humanity, decency and a concern for passenger healt, safety and dignity are not features of this vile, subhuman airline.
