Swiss Flight LX8 from Zurich to Chicago B777 12D Business
Zurich to Chicago aboard Swiss B777 Business Class 12D Flight LX008
The Swiss flight from Zurich to Chicago went smoothly with incredible Business Class food service and really good menu choices and quality.The check-in process was awkward. I tried to pay for a upgrade from Economy to Business, but was informed that a ticket purchased using miles was ineligible. I was directed to the Swiss customer service desk where I was able to purchase an upgrade for around $1,200. During check-in, I was asked for a passport, and Covid test result (entire pdf or paper form) for either PCR or antigen. With two carry-ons, I was informed that if my small wheeled carry-on was more than 5 kg (about 10 lbs), it would have to be checked. I quickly scrambled to remove my MacBookPro and keys, then checked the bag to Chicago. That is a first. Egress through the Zurich airport was smooth, and exit immigration was smooth. Briefly visited the Swiss Business Class lounge (which is so much more amazing than the United lounge experience), and then proceeded to the gate.At the gate, documents were again checked, and a entry form was also requested (see end of this post) for entry into the USA.Boarding the flight was orderly and fast.The seating area was comfortable, until about 2 hours into the flight when my foot recline and seat cushion inflation comfort level stopped working. Annoying, but not a disaster.The food was the true gem of the flight, with excellent service.

Amazing Food
