Prologue:

Nothing is more important than family. We were 10 days away from Christmas. I was hoping to fly either Lufthansa or Swiss to Paris via Zurich or Frankfurt.

I was happy to find 2 seats available in First Class. I used my Lufthansa account to burn my miles.

The plane was still the airbus A340. Bear in mind today you have the new Boeing 77W.

After a quick check-in we went straight to United lounge.

Summary:

Where to start... I'm sharing my wife's view and I.

Cabin : While the cabin is clearly outdated, the seat remains good enough to sleep. The IFE is definitely a no-no. Thanks god I have my laptop !
Crew : They were just great. One of the western crew spoke Chinese to my wife. She was pleased.
Food : We were both struck by the quality.

Looking forward to trying the new Swiss Boeing 77W in First.

Thanks for reading !
