Not the traditional trip report - I'd be typing until next week, but have just returned from our South Africa vacation and I HAVE to at least report on what a great airline Swiss is to fly on. For all the flights, the food was fantastic - even my son loved the children's menus, the service was impeccable, the crews were incredibly friendly, the planes were very clean and comfortable (all were A340-300's - HB-JMH for the MIA-ZRH and ZRH-MIA legs and HB-JMA for the ZRH-JNB and JNB-ZRH legs) and the nose camera switched on during all landings for the entertainments systems was novel!! We are definitely Swiss converts in our family - and getting CO miles didn't hurt either!!! My only complaint - they wouldn't let me blow my vuvuzela - just kidding - one bouncy landing at MIA on the last flight - and - it was a big bounce! But - have the vuvuzela - so watch out NY next time I come up!! :)

Glad you had a great trip Mark! I fully expect to see this Vuvuzela next month!

Glad to hear you enjoyed your flights on Swiss, Mark. I flew them a few years ago on the A340, A330, and A320/A319 and really enjoyed their service. Unfortunately they tend to be one of the more pricier airlines to fly to Europe so I haven't had the chance of trying out the new A330-300.

Gordon - they were actually the cheapest of all the airlines that serve Miami when we were looking - that's why we went with them - it was great price - great service...

Let me know next time you're up. Got our Vuvuzela ready to go. Spotting will never be the same!

Next UN weekend, we can use the vuvuzela as the new communication tool to inform each other of the arrivals of the special visitors :-)
