SWISS FIRST was a wonderful experience (flew the new product). Loads were quite low (5 outbound and 2 inbound) which helped.
On the subject of catering, all the food was delicious and the crew were very knowledgeable about the choices of food and beverage on board which is good.

Thank for the LX86 Menu. I am on that flight this weekend and as LX hardly change their menus - one area where they let themselves down a bit in F - I will assume my menu will be very similar. In fact, many of them are quite similar:

Balik Salmon

That'll teach me. My next LX F flight a few days after posting the above, and no Fillet of Beef.
