SWISS Miles & More Promotions

How (and where) to Apply a Swiss Airlines Discount Code or Promo Code:

SWISS Air doesn’t make it as easy as Emirates or Etihad, which have a promo code box right on the front page before you search.  However, they do offer them and you can use a  SWISS Air Discount Code or Promo Code to save some money on your next flight.

There are seven steps required to book a flight with SWISS Air.   The process starts with entering your travel dates and destinations and it ends with providing your payment information.  It isn’t until you get to the last step that you will be able to enter the SWISS Air promo code or discount code.

Once you get to the payment page you will be able to enter the promo code.  You will find a box that says “Redeem Voucher”.  Click on that to reveal the Voucher Code box (The term Voucher Code is often used in Europe and is the same as a Promo Code or Discount Code).  This is also where you would redeem a gift card or gift voucher.

At this point, you will enter your Swiss Airlines Promo Code or Discount Code in the box and the appropriate discount will be applied when you finish your checkout process.

Seating and Cabin Classes

SWISS offers three classes of service, including Economy, Business Class, and First Class.

Economy Cabin

SWISS offers a fairly standard economy class product with rear seat entertainment, assigned seating and meal service.

Business Class Cabin

The new SWISS Business seat is a spacious workplace that converts into a roomy 6-foot (2-meter) flat bed at the touch of a button. It also has an integrated massage function that will pamper you during your flight.

First Class Cabin

There are eight First Class armchairs available on Boeing 777 long-haul flights. The seats turn into generous flat beds in moments. Enjoy your private sphere and the individual service.

SWISS offers long-haul flights on three different aircraft – Boeing 777, Airbus A330, and Airbus A340.  The Boeing 777 is definitely the most luxurious.  Check out all three here.
