Boeing 777-300 operated by Swiss Airlines may transport 340 passengers in three classes.
First class consists of 8 open suites that have 180 degrees recline. These suites are located in 2 rows per 4 in each. All of them are standard.
Behind the first class seats of business class are located. There are totally 62 flat bed seats here that also have 180 degrees recline. These seats are divided into 2 sections.
First section contains 2 rows of seats that per 5 in each. Extra legroom makes the seats of the 4th row good seats.
The only disadvantage of the seats 5A and 5K are misaligned windows.
The second section of business class seats is located behind the exit row. There are 11 rows of seats here.
Passengers tend to gather while waiting to use lavatories and this may cause discomfort to passengers of the seats 6DG, 7A and 7JK.
Missing windows are the main disadvantage of the seats 8A, 8K and 11A, 11K.
Economy class may accommodate 270 passengers in two sections. Most of the seats in the economy class have 3-4-3 configuration.
The best seats in the economy class are considered the seats 22DEFG, 23BC and 23HJ. These seats offer extra legroom to passengers. However, these seats are narrower than standard as the tray tables are in the armrests making them immovable and have no floor storage during take-off and landing.
Missing windows, reduced width of the seats and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing make the seats 23A and 23K bad seats. On the other hand these seats have extra space for passengers’ legs.
The noise that is coming from the lavatories and galleys will represent problem to passengers of the seats of the 36th row – the last row of the first section.
The second section of economy class seats contains 14 rows of seats.
Passengers of the seats of the 39th row and 40DEFG will feel comfortable thanks to extra legroom. Among disadvantages of these seats: reduced width as the tray tables are built-in the armrests making them immovable, lack of floor storage during take-off and landing and close location of the galley and lavatories.
The seats 50AB and 50JK have limited legroom, reduced width as the tray tables are in the armrests. At the same time these seats have extra storage space.
Proximity of the lavatories may represent problem to passengers of the seats 51AB, 51D, 51G, 51JK and 52DEFG. Also the seats 51AB and 51JK are less reclining than standard. That is why these seats and the seats of the last 52nd row are considered bad seats.
SWISS International Airlines is the surviving flag carrier of Switzerland, wholly-owned by the Lufthansa Group, and traces its roots back to the 1930s when its predecessor, Swissair, took to the skies. Swissair collapsed in 2001 and was grounded once most of its assets lost value. It officially “died” on March 31, 2002, but the following day, on April 1, 2002, SWISS was born. A former subsidiary of the SAir Group, Crossair, took over the routes, fleet, and personnel who had worked for Swissair.

SWISS initially operated some of the legacy Swissair fleets such as the McDonnell-Douglass MD-11s and Airbus A330-200s. In fact, all of the Airbus fleet that Swissair had operated (A319, A320, A321, and A330) were transferred to SWISS along with the MD-11s. There had also been an order for Airbus A340-600s, but these were later canceled in favor of the Airbus A340-300 as a replacement aircraft for the MD-11.
SWISS retained a large portion of Swissair’s global network and partnered with some of Swissair’s codeshare carriers, such as American Airlines. However, after SWISS was taken over by Lufthansa in 2005, it has since firmly remained in Star Alliance.
