Swiss operates a mix of Airbus A220 and A320 aircraft between Sweden and Zurich. An Airbus A330-300 takes you onwards from the Alps to New Delhi. Most itineraries feature a long layover in Zurich on the inbound leg.

With SWISS, it very much depends on the specific seat, as SWISS has a throne seat in every row. While the double seats share a platform in the middle, the throne seat has its own platform on each side, which you won’t have to share with anyone. Those seats thus offer privacy and comfort to an extent that the other seats cannot compete with. Therefore, you may be disappointed if you don’t get one of the throne seats, even if the other seats obviously also have a very high standard.

Search & Book

The fare rules don’t give an expiration date for this offer, so it can be withdrawn at any time. You need to stay at least eight days in India to get the lowest fare. Availability is best between August and September 2023. Although Google and Lufthansa show earlier dates, those prices jump to €1,300 when selecting flights.

You can find additional flight dates on Google Flights. We recommend buying business class tickets directly with the airline, in this case, Lufthansa or Swiss.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
