Report on First Class YUL - ZRH on Swiss Air

Got out of the lounge at 5:33pm and my flight is supposed to board at 5:35pm. When i got to the gate there were lots of ppl already in line. Then it came to my mind that i have a F boarding pass so I should take the shorter line.

I never dress nicely when i go on trips so when i lined up at the priority line i think the agent had a funny expression on his face, as if he thought I made a mistake lining up there. Well, i showed him my boarding pass and got thru in 2 seconds. Looking at the plane i am hopping onto here:

I think nobody travel in F dressing in hiking attire lol. The gentleman at the door also didnt expect to point me to the left (the right is the econ cabin). Two stewardess were waiting for me already and we started chatting a bit. From my belongings they could tell already i am trekking. I got a glass of still water and got appetizer as well. Of coz there was hot towel service again

Have a look at my seat 2A. I chose this seat so that I am on the Swiss Alps side. The single seats are blocked off originally until 23 hrs prior. By the way, I found out that I was the only one in the F cabin! 有少少受寵若驚tim! That is why the stewardess said they will set up my bed on the other side so i can keep my seat as the living space! That sounds so luxurious!

One of the ladies brought me headsets and the amenity kit by Bally! Inside are skincare from la prairie! There are people who sells these kits on ebay for like $50-60! I dunno who would buy them but i am keeping mine :P

I told them i would change to PJ later so one of the lady got me a M. I hope it fits!

Dinner service starts! I will post the menu later but here are the foodz!!

This is Sauvignon blanc from Switzerland. Very fruity! I usually dont like whites but I like this one,

Setting of my table. The stewardess was so quick to set it up! They were top notch despite both ladies are older. When i said i was heading to nepal one already said oh you are gonna goto Kathmandu. Both of the ladies are very knowledgeable.

My bread tray. I could only ate half of the baguette but it was so good!

Appetizer 1: Balik Salmon! Heard a lot about it And it tasted great! Feels very fresh and 'solid'... Like organic food if u know what i mean. I am sure the salmon was living in good water without a lot of pollutants

Appetizer 2: shrimp on crab salad, chopped mango on the side with crouton stick. The menu is a la carte but coz i was the only passenger on board, there were a lot of flexibilities and i could pick whatever! :)

Appetizer 3: salad with swiss dressing. Fresh and i need the veg on board haha

My glass of Bordeaux from chateau simons haut lafite, 2007. Some of u may know that 2007 Bordeaux is considered one of the best year and i am lucky to have on board. Amazing nose! I am a big fan of bordeaux wines and I almost only drink reds from there :p

My main is steak in black bean sauce. Requested medium rare but came out medium, which was alright but a bit on the tough side. One lady checked and was not happy that it was medium. I told her it was alright :). She later came by with a veg tray and i got some brocollini as well.

Interrupting my dinner as I was playing around with the seat control. It really is amazing! There is even a massage function (but too light for my liking)

I got a bit of every cheese they had on board. Gruyere is still my fav cheese and i got 3 pieces of that hehe!

At this point i was soooo full, one stewardess came to show me my two choices of dessert (already assembled and ready to eat!) blueberry cheese cake or apple tarte with vanilla ice cream. I picked the tarte and was wondering what would happen to that cheese cake since she already plated it!

I asked for decaf nespresso which was quite nice. I really enjoyed my dinner though it took almost 2 hrs hahha it really feels like fine dining! The stewardess came by with a box of pralines from Sprungli which i picked two.

After dinner i went to the bathroom to change to my PJ, and when I got back, my bed was already made for me! Told you they are really on top of things! As i walked out of the bathroom one stewardess had a hanger and was ready to hang my clothes for me too!

I slept for probably 3 hours or so and woke up coz it was getting hot. This flight is really short (only 7 hrs) so it is difficult to have proper sleep i think. One stewardess came by and asked if i wanna drink anything. She actually promised to wake me up 50 min before landing for breakfast but she came by at 40 min :P. I have a feeling they want me to sleep more and also they can skip serving me breakfast wahaha... WRONG!

The other stewardness gave me this fruit booster drink which has mango and all sorts of other stuff in it. Then i also ordered a tomato juice.

Here is my breakfast: mixed fruit, muesli with honey (tasted great), coffee, bread tray and yogurt (didnt get a chance to eat and wa confisticated leaving ZRH argh

I got asked if there was anything else i like and i said i like hot eggs (by this time the plane was descending quickly already)....

Wahaha i got cheese and thyme omelette with bacon! Nice and hot!

Landing very soon! I already miss this flight!

Sounds pretty good... better than the AC Pods! I guess you'll just have to do a table to summarize the various first class experiences on your trip.
