During check-in, we chose seats 20J and 20K, which, just like on the outbound flight, offered virtually infinite legroom. Swiss’ Premium Economy has a 2-4-2 layout and was located immediately behind the Business Class seats. Just like Lufthansa’s Boeing 747-8 on the outbound flight, Swiss’ Boeing 777-300 was organized in four different classes: First Class, Business, Premium Economy and Economy. We were part of group 3 and boarded the plane about 10-12 minutes after the first passenger in group 1. However, the airline handled it well by organizing passengers into four groups (1, 2, 3 and 4), with priority given to those in First/Business Class, passengers with special needs and clients traveling with children. As a result, boarding took place about 30 minutes later than originally scheduled. We experienced a slight delay due to the late arrival of the Boeing 777-300ER from Zurich. This setup probably ensures a relatively quick and efficient check-in and bag drop process for everyone.Īs for Narita Airport, it’s no wonder that it gets consistently talked about as one of the best airports in the world, as it was incredibly clean, well-organized and easy to navigate. However, we couldn’t help but notice that SWISS had four different check-in counters available: one of which exclusively for business class and “premium” passengers, and the other three for economy class passengers. Since we already had our digital boarding passes on us, we didn’t waste any time and headed straight to security.
