We were invited for a lovely lunch at Palais Coburg & Wine Cellar Tour afterwards, and the meal over lunch was done at a glasshouse setting, aptly named Clementine Im Glashaus so I had the opportunity to savor a lovely a-la-carte gourmet lunch and exquisite cuisine at Palais Coburg; after my delightful culinary experience. I was transported on a wonderful guided sommelier-led guided tour to 5 different locations with a historic wine cellar in the Palais Coburg along with a splendid wine tasting with 5 different wines of varying character, style, terroir and finesse. Clementine im Glashaus Clementine Im Glashaus is named after Clementine of Orleans. The daughter of the King of France an d her husband, prince August of Saxe-Coburg, were the first inhabitants of the Palais Coburg in Vienna from 1849. Her painting is located in the middle of the restaurant and we took a lovely shot of it when we arrived at this venue. Interestingly enough, Palais Coburg is also the venue of a dinner venue, the Silvio-nickol, which is a 2-star Michelin restaurant (which means I have to come back again).. I was amazed at the location of this restaurant which resides in the gorgeous and stunning Palais Coburg, a truly fine dining venue that offers an immaculate culinary encounter for locals and tourists to Vienna. On the menu, I can find a sweet blend of Austrian and international Western dishes, prepared with superior native ingredients and innovative cooking methods that celebrate Austrian finesse along with nostalgic storytelling by a past wonderful era. What captures me is the Glasshouse interior, a grandiose dining room, making it magnificent, elegant yet simply romantic, so a great occasion for a get-together, business lunch or a romantic getaway.. fine dining for two. Truly a wonderful place, super atmosphere and ambience, top quality, inherent homely hospitality and just lovely food that sensationalise the palate. Clementine im Glashaus is open for breakfast, lunch, the afternoon snack and dinner - In an innovative culinary style, traditional meals are creatively re-imagined for a culinary adventure and a true tasting pleasure. The Executive Chef: Fabian Philler and the Manager: Wallner Hermann For aperitifs, I sampled the "my sweet clementine" which is a signature drink (non alcoholic) consisting of clementine, ginger ale and lime, so refreshing and a nice commencement after my airport arrival into Vienna. For starters, I was given the dish of a Prawn prepration which comprise of grilled wild red shrimp with braised sweet potato, glazed blood orange, spinach leaves & fluffy créme Fraîche, simply delightful and one of the best starters I have tasted these past years, well done to the Chef! Duck breast was my choice of my main dish, so a nicely pink roasted breast of Barbarie duck was presented with carrot cream, marinated carrots, glazed black cabbage, roasted marcona almonds & amaretto-lime-coconut cream, the presentation, structure and umami was nicely displayed in a remarkable taste format, and a delight. I has the almond_bisquit which was part of the weekly menu for dessert as it was recommended and it taste heavenly - the almond biscuit, was nicely presented with vanilla cream, banana sorbet & coffee, a superb finish to my awesome meal. I would like to give special thks to my serveur, Sebastien Eckart for recommending the lovely dishes on the menu and giving me a top-notch lunch experience. Palais Coburg - Wine Cellar & Tasting Experience The Palais Coburg Wine Archive encompasses a total of six wine cellars, each with unique characteristics, a special focus and an ideal climate for great, rare wines. The six cellars hold some 60,000 bottles from four centuries and offer an impressive combination of medieval architecture and atmospheric spaces for wine tastings and culinary presentations involving sophisticated wines. The magnificent Wine Cellar in Palais Coburg was constructed inside historical ruins from the 16th century. Each of these six different rooms (or cellars), have its' own unique character and specific dedication, and we were taken on a tour of these unique room locations. They comprise of France Cellar, New World Cellar, Old World Cellar, Champagne Cellar (my eyes were gleaming!), Rare Wines Cellar and Yquem Cellar - they are one of the best vintage, precious and rare wine collections not just in Austria but in the world and they have garnered numerous awards. Wolfgang Kneidinger, my personal guide is one of the top sommeliers in Vienna, and in Austria and also in Europe so I was very fortunate when he took me on a tour, as my pal in Weinrieder wineyards (who specialise in Ice Wine) Bernhard, told me about him, when we met up, so it a true testament to his ability and competency as a certified sommelier and viticulturist. 60,000 bottles are stored here in a 755 square-meter expanse area and . One can truly discover the unique wine treasure at Palais Coburg in Vienna - a wine lover's paradise Location The restaurant and wine cellar is located right in the heart of Vienna in the first district, a few walking minutes away from the famous St. Stephen's Cathedral, Kärntner Straße and Stadtpark.

Today is the day I get to explore Vienna's charm in the 1st and 4th districts on a nice little city tour; a perfect blend of history and culture with my certified and experienced tour guide Mrs. Ilse Heigerth from Austria. We started the tour from Hotel Amauris Vienna, and proceeded to walk along the Music Concert Hall a venue termed the Vienna Music Society, or Musikverein Wien, a renowned classical music venue with a packed program including local & international performers, and then to Wien Museum Karlsplatz, a quaint Museum with exhibits on city's history from Roman times to the present, plus art by Klimt & Schiele. We next saw St. Charles's Church, which is otherwise known as the Karlskirche, an extraordinary 18th-century Habsburg domed cathedral with a 32.5-meter platform for views of the ornate frescoes. We next walked past the Vienna University of Technology (Technische Universität Wien) a University with a grand 19th-century main building, known for its science & engineering programs, where Vivaldi was buried... we then traversed into the environs of Naschmarkt, which is a local flea market with a bevy of antiques, artwork, household goods, used books and records along with restaurants, cafes, groceries and market. Next on the journey was the Secession Building with a lovely golden dome (full of domes in Vienna yah!), an exhibition hall that features the Beethoven Frieze by Gustav Klimt and nouveau artists. Vienna State Opera was the next pit-stop, aka as the Wiener Staatsoper, absolutely marvellous and since it was Ball Season in Vienna, there are famous Vienna Ball sessions almost every night here, during end-January 2024. It truly is a world-famous opera house offering major productions, original decor & multilingual guided tours. The route brought us to the Albertina museum, a 19th-century Habsburg palace with staterooms & collections of old master prints & 20th-century art, with a whole collection of Monet, Picasso and many artists (a separate post on this will be showcased) At this juncture, Ilse showed me a nice traditional cafe which she liked, called the Cafe Tirolerhof, which I actually visited as well, to assess the quality and standard within a Viennese traditional cafe setting, complete with elderly and family types from Vienna and of course, tourists (but not too many of them) and it was at the junction that I chanced upon Joseph Brot, which is a well-designed modern trendy and happening" cafe chain complete with cakes, pastries and bread, jam, all sorts, and a hidden secret that only the Viennese know... so I like this sort of "chance-upon" opportunities.. Imperial Crypt otherwise known as the Kapuzinergruft, which sits along Neuer Markt, is a dynamic Crypt structure beneath the Capuchin Church housing tombs of Hapsburg royalty, including emperors & empresses. Cafe Frauenbuber, one of the oldest Viennese Cafe appeared next on our route coverage, and also we passed by Mozart's last demise location and also Mythos Mozart (a special post will feature this attraction). Krapfens are huge culinary delights in Vienna, and there are multiple places that offer this like Cafe Demel, which is a graceful 1786 salon that serves specialties such as cream cakes, scones & strudels, with a cool shady terrace. Featured here is the Butterkrapfen - there are many types of krapfens, all over Vienna, and they are SO Yummy! We walked along the Kohlmarkt - the most prestigious shopping zone in downtown Vienna – also called the “Golden U” – which stretches from Hofburg Palace and Kohlmarkt via Graben to Kärntner Strasse. Formerly the location of numerous court-appointed jewelers, international luxury brands such as Cartier, Chopard, Tiffany (nice), Bulgari and Wellendorff are some of the high caliber brands we can find here, along with a high density of jewelers, upscale stores and branches of international fashion labels. St. Stephen's Cathedral or Domkirche St. Stephan is the tallest church and most iconic attraction that is a Medieval Roman Catholic place of worship with an ornate spire, catacombs & a treasury museum, with the North and South Tower. We went up the North Tower and captured a spectacular view of the entire city, along with some wineries in the distant hills, which apparently is a superb place to chill in summer. St. Stephen's Cathedral is the symbol of Vienna and also the very center of the city. At 136 meters in height, it is the tallest church in Austria. The tallest of its four towers is the south tower at 136 meters. The tower room, from which there is a gigantic view across Vienna, is reached via 343 steps. A total of 13 bells hang here. However, the best known of them, the Pummerin hangs in the 68 meter-tall north tower. It is the second-biggest free-swinging chimed church bell in Europe. On the roof of St. Stephen's Cathedral, colorful roof tiles were laid to create the Royal and Imperial double-headed eagle and the coat of arms of the city of Vienna. We walked along the Graben, that is one of the most famous squares in Vienna's first district, the city center. It begins at Stock-im-Eisen-Platz next to the Palais Equitable, and ends at the junction of Kohlmarkt and Tuchlauben and also sighted the iconic Trinity column, the Pestsäule, which is a highly important monument along this stretch of the pathway. Situated in the Graben in Vienna, it was built as a result of Emperor Leopold I's vow in 1679 to erect such a memorial in honour of the Holy Trinity in order to hasten the end of the plague. The grandest building of them all, Hofburg Palace was next and this Habsburg palace complex is superb, magnificent and truly iconic adorned with ornate, baroque interiors, imperial apartments & a silver museum. The Hofburg is the former principal imperial palace of the Habsburg dynasty in Austria. Located in the centre of Vienna, it was built in the 13th century and expanded several times afterwards. It also served as the Imperial winter residence, as Schönbrunn Palace was the summer residence. Since 1946, it is the official residence and workplace of the president of Austria. It is also known as the The Imperial Palace and has been the heart of power in Vienna since 1279. Visitors can catch a glimpse of Hofburg Palace’s Imperial past and aristocratic life; the illustrious quarters; the richly decorated Imperial apartments, the Sisi Museum, and the lavish silver collections Founded in 2004, the Sisi Museum is dedicated to the enigmatic Empress Elisabeth. The wife of Emperor Franz Joseph, Elisabeth (called Sisi), was an unconventional and spirited woman who never quite fit into the courtly society in the capital. During her life, she was the object of fascination, rumour, and admiration, and after her tragic death by assassination in 1898, the myth of Sisi only grew. Featuring over 300 hundred objects, this museum gives guests an insight into her eventful life and death while dismantling the myth in order to reveal the woman underneath. We also passed by the Imperial Apartments and the Spanish Riding School (a dedicated post on this lovely attraction and the training of the Lipizzaner horses will be shared). We proceeded to traverse the mighty grounds of the Heldenplatz, complete with its definite posture of public square & gardens which stood right in front of the old imperial Hofburg Palace, with imposing statues all over. Many significant events and activities take place at this location, even to present day. We then traversed the Volksgarten, which is huge park in the City of Vienna, and Strauss & Lanner once played in this manicured public park with temples, fountains & rose gardens. We then saw the Austrian Parliament - Parlament Österreich, which conduct guided tours of the lavish chambers (for visitors) in this imposing neoclassical building and comes equipped with a visitor center. The Rathaus or City Hall at the Rathausplatz is an amazing building and my favourite in Vienna, and the area consists of a 19th-century park with statues, mature trees & fountains, plus summer cinema & winter ice rink (and we could see locals ice skating around this rink - just so comforting and fun!) - this is the local venue and Hhome to several of Vienna’s biggest events, including the Christkindlmarkt, Rathaus Film Festival, and Vienna Ice World. Nearby, we also saw the Café Landtmann which is yet another iconic and popular Classic cafe-restaurant with an illustrious clientele from Freud to McCartney, and comes with a shaded terrace.

Vienna contains 23 municipal districts, each with its own individual character and flavor, and so we visited District 9 one late morning on 26 January 2024. Alsergrund is the 9th district of Vienna. Alsergrund is an affluent suburb that includes much of the University of Vienna, several cozy business districts, and several hospitals. It has historical links to Franz Schubert, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Sigmund Freud, and many museums, galleries, and cultural institutions contribute to its distinct atmosphere. The 9th District is an elegant and historically rich area located north of the city center. With its graceful streets, stunning Art Noveau and Art Deco architecture, vibrant intellectual and cultural scene, and the modernity brought by the youth, Alsergrund exudes a charm that is both unique and captivating. Alsergrund’s storied past is beautifully interwoven with the bustling present, as the district is home to several universities, medical institutions, and the iconic Vienna Volksoper, one of the city’s most famous opera houses. Its captivating architectural style, known as Gründerzeit, reflects the contributions of numerous prominent architects and artists. Walking along the stretch of Servitengasse in Alsergrund, gives me a cool vibe of this trendy cool area, which is earmarked to be the next most happening precinct of Vienna, aside from the touristy districts and the cool districts of 5-8. An entire array of arts and craft shops, modern cafes, traditional restaurants steeped with historical charm and flavor the entire boulevard of the Servitenviertel area. A cute little duck which is pretty symbolic in some souvenir shops all across Vienna! Rehhuhn Gasthaus Next, we headed to the Rehhuhn Gasthaus, across the road junction, which is a very typical, very local traditional Austrian restaurant that the locals would go, for their daily meals. Given the authenticity of the place, that also allows dogs, I saw couples, seniors, families and corporates having lunch here.. Both Viennese families and tourists come here for reliable local Austrian fare – potato soup, fried chicken salad, schnitzel, goulash, roasted pork belly, apple strudel etc. My guide, Ms Ilse had a fritzy soda, which is a typical aperitif in Vienna (I had some on other occasions) but I had a nice draft Ottakringer Helles as my thirst quencher here. For appetizer, we both had the Cream of carrot-ginger soup (which is honestly one of the best soups I have had in my life, being a Cantonese, and we are very good in cooking traditional tonic and herbal soups, my rating for this simple soup is 9/10).. Ilse had the Breaded chicken, served with potatoes and green salad (which was nicely done) whilst I had a Boiled filet of beef, shredded potatoes, spinach and it came with two dips (almost similar to the traditional Tapelspitz, which comes with 2 versions, this version is the non-stew version).. My lunch was lovely, felt super comfy and love the home-cooked flavours, aromas, and homely ambience! Wonderful!

Singapore Airshow 2024, Asia’s most influential aerospace and defence event, announced an unparallelled trade attendee turnout at its ninth edition that was held at the Changi Exhibition Centre from 20-23 February 2024. The record number of close to 60,000 trade attendees, a 10% increase compared to the previous high in the 2018 edition, signals a renewed optimism and recovery in the aerospace landscape in the Asia Pacific region that is forecasted to account for over 45% of the new aircraft deliveries between 2023 and 2042. Since its inception in 2008, Singapore Airshow has served as a platform that fosters collaboration and helps chart a transformative course for the aerospace and defence industry. Each edition welcomes industry leaders, government officials, and military delegations who converge at the Changi Exhibition Centre to network and exchange ideas. “We are delighted to announce this overwhelming response for this edition; it clearly signals a renewed optimism and momentum driving the sector forward. It certainly reaffirms Singapore Airshow’s role as a catalytic platform for industry sector professionals worldwide in the global arena to convene and draw up tomorrow’s agenda,” said Mr Leck Chet Lam, Managing Director, Experia, organiser of Singapore Airshow. AeroForum, Singapore Airshow’s thought-leadership forum, which hosted the largest volume of strategic conversations across nine panel discussions that presented 36 panel speakers and 10 moderators, was attended by close to 600 trade attendees. Organised in collaboration with five esteemed industry partners – Alton Aviation Consultancy, Association of Aerospace Industries (Singapore), Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Global and McKinsey & Company – a wide range of topics spanning aviation leadership, sustainable aviation, advanced air mobility and China-Singapore bilateral aviation were discussed. As a key platform for meetings and collaborations, Singapore Airshow also saw several major announcements made during the four trade days, including several focused on meeting decarbonisation targets. Airbus showcased its commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050, advocating for accelerated progress in sustainable aviation fuel production and unveiling plans in an agreement with TotalEnergies, which will supply Airbus with SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) for more than half of its needs in Europe. Airbus also announced plans for a hydrogen-powered aircraft slated for operational debut by 2035. Singapore's proposal to introduce a levy to support sustainable aviation fuel sparked extensive discussion, reflecting the industry's determination to meet its 2050 net-zero emission goal. Boeing outlined its plans for autonomous flights by 2030, while Embraer announced a strategic partnership with Scoot, making the airline the first in the Asia Pacific to adopt Embraer's Collaborative Inventory Planning solution, a tailored expendable spare parts management programme that “optimises” inventory levels for customers to reduce operational costs. Several Asia-based airlines also placed aircraft orders - Starlux Airlines placed an order for five Airbus A350 freighters and three A330neo widebody passenger jets to support its fleet expansion. In addition, Vietjet Air signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus to purchase 20 A330-900 widebodies. The international debut of China's ARJ21 and C919 jet by Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC) garnered significant attention, with Tibet Airlines signing a 50- plane deal. Thai Airways and Royal Brunei Airlines also announced orders for 45 and four Boeing 787 Dreamliners respectively. Return of Weekend@Airshow Singapore Airshow 2024 will welcome the public with Weekend@Airshow (formerly known as Public Days) on 24 and 25 February 2024, where an estimated 60,000 visitors are expected at the Changi Exhibition Centre for enthralling flying displays, static displays and a host of family friendly programmes.

We had an unforgettable culinary experience, nicely termed the "Piatti d'Amore" which is the first in a series of monthly specials that Chef de Cuisine Paolo Benedet is introducing at the Cliff, a wonderful Italian restaurant at Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa. We arrived one lovely evening at The Cliff in Sentosa, nicely tucked away next to Sentosa Golf Club with a beautiful sunset view of the Sentosa skyline to partake of this fantastic new Menu at this immaculate Sofitel Singapore resort. As part of their February Dining Specials, and only available only in the month of February 2024, the Piatti d'Amore and Vino Questa - Sip and Savour the Italian Flair, shall be presented where diners get to taste a four-course set menu that is available during lunch and dinner. Priced at $118++ per adult, it comprises an antipasto, a pasta, a choice of fish or beef for the main course and a dessert. Diners have the option to add on a flight of four wines to their dinner at an additional $60++ nicely phrased as the Vino Questa, to accompany their lunch or dinner. Piatti d'Amore The essence of this menu is based on the homely feel and mama's cooking inherent in Chef's training and home cuisine, where traditional ingredients and cooking style are omnipresent, especially in the concoction of his Fish-based main course, the MERLUZZO ALL’ACQUA PAZZA. The Cliff believes in the fine art of sustainability so all the ingredients, vegetables, produce are all sourced from responsible sources, truly farm to table.. and we can attest to these wondrous delights in the menu that was clearly showcased to us! For Antipasto, we had the TRIO ANTIPASTI, where a spectacular melangé of Scallop Carpaccio (this just melted in the mouth, extraordinaire!), Calamari (from Italy) with Garlic Aioli (nicely done), and 24-Month Aged Parma Ham and Burrata was paired with our Aperitif - the BOTTER PROSECCO DOC ITALY, which was nice, smooth and absolutely fresh, a pale light colour, notes of peach, green apple, lilac and lemon with well balanced acidity. When the Pasta dish arrived, phrased the SPAGHETTI AI RICCI DI MARE, I was quite amazed that a Sea Urchin Emulsion was juxtaposed with a selection of fresh Crab Meat (from sustainable sources) with the spaghetti - I like the fact that it was not heavy as the portioning was decent and light, so I can last through the duration of my course dinner. The Bianco or White Wine il SOAVE Classico Montreso, was well paired and smooth and a true accompaniment to the Spaghetti; a bright yellow with aromas of hawthorn and acacia, grapefuit along slight minerality, blossomy somewhat at the finish, fresh on the palate with a lasting persistence. The Main dish of MERLUZZO ALL’ACQUA PAZZA was very special to me, as it was solvent and nicely cooked in a juicy stew format, a delightful broth, almost oriental but in this case, Italian of course with loads of cherry presence; the Sustainably Farmed Sea Bass was nicely tossed and tender and went well with the Light Saffron, Cherry Tomato Broth and Fresh Parsley - Delicious! We also managed to sample the TAGLIATA DI MANZO. a nicely prepared Grilled Australian Beef Striploin sprinkled with Forest Mushrooms and presented with Natural Jus Reduction, just nice, not too much and overbearing! - Swag! The Rosso or Red Wine OMINA ROMANA DIANA NEMORENSES ITALY 2013 had dominant Merlot presence with Sangiovese and Cabernet Savignon; a deep ruby color and aromas of ripe red fruit and vanilla, full-bodied and strong red rich colour, with flavors of black cherry, mint, blackcurrant and tobacco. The tannins are firm but I feel it needs more aeration to allow for it's full character to blossom. For dessert, it was truly stunning and tasty, what a fantastic PANNA COTTA AL CIOCCOLATO BIANCO E BASILICO; I seldom take Panna Cotta but this one truly wonderful, not too creamy, with a tender texture when introduced, and certainly not too sweet, Chef did a great job to create this dish, Kudos! The dessert wine Dolce presented was the BAVA MOSCATO D’ASTI DOCG PIEDMONT ITALY 2021 - it was aromatic, intense but not super sweet, good characteristics of acidity and balanced with elegance and fragrace, pleasantly paired with the Panna Cotta Vino Questa: Sip and Savour the Italian Flair These were the bottles showcased that were consistent with the Italian Flair! Aperitif BOTTER PROSECCO DOC ITALY Bianco PRODUTTORI DI MANDURIA VERDECA ALICE IGT 2022 (a change was given at our dinner - il SOAVE Classico Montreso) Rosso OMINA ROMANA DIANA NEMORENSES ITALY 2013 Dolce BAVA MOSCATO D’ASTI DOCG PIEDMONT ITALY 2021 The special monthly menus are not only a way to showcase Chef Paolo's culinary talent, but also a chance for him to highlight seasonal produce, which is a prime distinction of his culinary cooking style. March 2024 Season As Black Winter Truffles are now in season, the next special menu that will be available from 5 to 31 March 2024 will features this special ingredient.  Priced at $128++ per person, the four-course menu will have beef tartare with black truffle shavings, a choice of pasta or risotto with truffle, cod or slow-cooked beef cheek with black truffle, and even truffle ice cream, so do lookout for this for the month of March 2024 at the Cliff as well.. Details Piatti d'Amore Indulge in a trio of antipasti, followed by spaghetti in a sea urchin emulsion, a choice of sea bass or beef striploin, and a panna cotta dessert. 5 TO 29 FEBRUARY 2024 | 12 PM TO 3PM, 6PM TO 10PM S$118* PER DINER Vino Questa: Sip and Savour the Italian Flair 1 TO 29 FEBRUARY 2024 | 12 PM TO 3PM, 6PM TO 10PM S$60* PER DINER Elevate your dining experience at The Cliff with a curated selection of four Italian wines including: Produttori Di Manduria Verdeca Alice IGT 2022 and Omina Romana Diana Nemorenses Italy 2013.

As Switzerland’s national airline, SWISS represents the country’s traditional values and is committed to providing top-quality products and services. SWISS is part of the Lufthansa Group and a member of the Star Alliance, the largest network of airlines in the world. It runs flights from its hub, Zurich, and Geneva to more than 100 destinations in 50 countries worldwide, and operates scheduled services in Europe and to North America, South America, Africa and Asia. Easy Check-in and Airport Check-In - Departure Process I was able to check in quickly and there was no queue at Terminal 2 at Changi International Airport. Online check-in gave me the flexibility to obtain my online boarding pass in just a few steps and I was able to book, confirm and check-in for my flight on swiss.com via automated check-in. SWISS sent me my boarding pass by email to print out or directly to your smartphone as a mobile boarding pass, which was being used to scan as a QR code at all the airport and gate access - super convenient! Love it! SWISS Economy cabin interior Every seat in Economy Class has its own screen on long-haul flights. A generous seat pitch and adjustable neck cushions ensured that I had a comfortable flight. We had our own personal, large 11" screen with touch screen on our Boeing 777-300ER and this was just simply amazing, and well configured for our comfort and needs. The new seat cushion technology and greater legroom provide maximum comfort and I could feel this benefit on my long haul flight from Singapore to Zurich, Switzerland, en-route to Vienna in Austria, a 13-hour flight with a stop-over in Zurich. A holder for drinks and one for my smartphone are new additions to the seat, which I also detected once on-board. Entertainment on Demand I have an entire bevy of choices and can choose from more than 200 films and 250 TV programmes. The very latest blockbusters, prize-winning documentaries and the most popular TV series was available for my choice. You can also listen to over 100 music playlists, CDs, podcasts and audiobooks. For their youngest passengers, they have a wide selection of children’s films, cartoons, computer games and the SWISS Kids music playlist to keep them entertained. They update their entertainment programme on a monthly basis. My comfort on this flight was intrinsically enhanced due to the high hospitality standard and benchmark, provided by the Economy class team leader Isabel and Caroline (aka Grobb Webber) who made sure I had enough SWISS chocolates :) amidst other lovely snacks and drinks on-board my flight. SWISS Saveurs SWISS has extended its award-winning culinary concept to most European flights from and to Switzerland in SWISS Economy. With SWISS Saveurs, SWISS offers a wide range of culinary delicacies for every palate on most flights. The new SWISS culinary concept on flights from Zurich and Geneva is a reflection of their commitment to serving their passengers an even greater selection of regional dishes. The selection includes a range of healthy alternatives prepared using regional ingredients and comes in sustainable packaging whenever possible. The range of fresh products has been created by Switzerland’s world-renowned, traditional family business, Confiserie Sprüngli. The culinary offer is complemented with a selection of snacks from famous Swiss brands. All products from the SWISS Saveurs menu are available for purchase on board flights of 50 minutes or more. SWISS Saveurs brings you a selection of delicious dishes and snacks tailored to your personal preferences. All products have been chosen with the utmost care. SWISS Saveurs is not offered on very short flights of less than 50 minutes, but passengers continue to receive a complimentary bottle of SWISS Altitude 1150 mineral water and their famous SWISS chocolate on all flights. With a focus on seasonal produce from Switzerland, through SWISS Saveurs, SWISS is elevating its culinary offer to an even higher level. And if you have special dietary needs or prefer a vegetarian diet, SWISS is happy to offer you a number of options. On all flights of 50 minutes or more, passengers can look forward to an outstanding product range that lives up to the highest SWISS standards. About the SWISS brand partner - Confiserie Sprüngli Founded in 1836 and now in its sixth generation, the family-owned business Confiserie Sprüngli has perfected the craft of making chocolate for more than 180 years. The recipes are secret, known only to a select few and passed down from one generation to the next. Not secret but just as impressive are their company values: Sprüngli only uses the finest ingredients while being mindful of natural resources, and is committed to fair production conditions and paying cocoa farmers fair wages. Sprüngli is a pioneer in the art of Grand Cru chocolate, the rarest and purest of chocolates. Sprüngli’s Grand Cru chocolate is an authentic taste experience of the highest quality. For Sprüngli only the best is good enough, and it shows in its truffles, its vast variety of select chocolate bars and of course its Grand Cru pralines. Complementing Sprüngli’s unmistakable chocolate creations, it also offers delicious cakes and pastries. Sprüngli is known for combining tradition with innovation, which has resulted in a number of timeless classics, including its famous range of Luxemburgerli. These airy macaroons are perfect for any occasion and are available in a variety of flavours. These refined flavours include genuine Bourbon vanilla, caramel with Fleur de Sel and champagne. These bite-sized delicacies convey what is possible when you blend century-old traditions with skill and creativity. Sprüngli is represented in Switzerland with over 30 of its own shops, restaurants and cafés. Outside Switzerland you’ll also find Sprüngli in Vienna and Munich, but thanks to their collaboration with SWISS you can also now enjoy the specialities from Sprüngli around the globe. Pure mineral water − SWISS Altitude 1150 With the introduction of SWISS Saveurs, you receive a complimentary bottle of refreshing mineral water on board every flight with SWISS. The alpine water from the Glarus region is produced exclusively for SWISS and comes in a distinctive design. SWISS offers you a bottle of its pure Swiss water, whether you’re travelling with SWISS to Vienna, Amsterdam, London or Madrid, because your wellbeing matters to SWISS. Even if you aren’t feeling hungry, it’s important to drink plenty of liquids when travelling. By the way, the name refers to the elevation of the Alpine spring where the water is sourced in the picturesque Glarus Alps: Altitude 1150. They thus combine two elements: the source of the spring and aviation. AeroShark - inspired by Shark Skin As of 14 October 2022, SWISS became the first airline in the world to deploy the innovative AeroSHARK technology on its passenger services. The transparent AeroSHARK film which has been applied to its aircraft’s fuselage and engine nacelles replicates the hydrodynamic skin of a shark to reduce aerodynamic drag and, as a result, lower both inflight fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. All twelve of their Boeing 777-300ER aircraft will successively have the innovative riblet film, which has been co-developed by Lufthansa Technik and chemicals and coatings manufacturer BASF, applied to their fuselage and engine nacelles. The resulting significant reduction in aerodynamic drag will make their fleet more than one per cent more fuel-efficient, and this in turn will substantially further reduce our carbon dioxide emissions. The AeroSHARK film features millions of ‘riblets’ – small protrusions just 50 micrometres high – which replicate the highly hydrodynamic skin of sharks, and thus reduces an aircraft’s aerodynamic drag wherever it is applied. Annual CO2 emission savings of up to 15,200 tonnes By applying a total of 950 square metres of AeroSHARK riblet film to the fuselage and engine nacelle surfaces of a Boeing 777, fuel savings of some 1.1 per cent can be achieved. This will reduce their annual fuel consumption by over 4,800 tonnes and the total annual carbon dioxide emissions of their Boeing 777 fleet by up to 15,200 tonnes – the amount emitted respectively by some 87 long-haul flights from Zurich to Mumbai. “Reducing its environmental footprint is one of the greatest challenges ahead for the aviation sector, and being carbon-neutral in our flying by 2050 is a key SWISS strategic objective,” says CEO Dieter Vranckx. “We put a major emphasis at SWISS on actively promoting and making targeted investments in new technologies. And we’re delighted that, in becoming the world’s first passenger airline to use the innovative AeroSHARK technology, as we’ll be doing with our Boeing 777 fleet, we’ll now be making a further substantial contribution to ensuring more sustainable travel. We will successively install the new AeroSHARK riblet film on our Boeing 777 fleet from mid-2022 onwards. The work will be performed when each aircraft’s downtimes permit." Carbon-neutral by 2050 The adoption of the new AeroSHARK technology is a key initiative in their broader endeavours to minimize their carbon dioxide emissions. It also underlines their commitment to promoting the use of innovative technologies. They have set themselves the objectives of halving their net CO2 emissions from their 2019 levels by 2030 and of making their business and operations carbon-neutral by 2050. AeroSHARK is just one of the ways SWISS is striving to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions and make air travel more sustainable. Its further actions here include investing in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which is manufactured from biogenic waste and presently produces some 80 per cent less carbon dioxide than conventional kerosene. SWISS already uses SAF, and is promoting and supporting further research and trials in the field together with the Lufthansa Group. SWISS has set itself the goals of halving its net carbon dioxide emissions from their 2019 levels by 2030 and being entirely carbon-neutral by 2050. Indeed, a remarkable feat and truly a sustainable ESG-led initiative! Miles & More Miles & More is the biggest frequent flyer programme in Europe within the Lufthansa Group, so naturally SWISS falls under this category. I can earn miles on all my flights, and enjoy greater comforts and more advantages when I travel as a member. Fill your mileage account even faster. No matter whether I am at a restaurant, shopping or in the online shop: I can pay for all my purchases with SWISS Miles & More credit cards. Every time I shall receive a credit of valuable miles. My miles will not expire if I use my cards regularly. In addition to miles, I can also earn points on my flights with SWISS and the entire Star Alliance. I can use them to achieve a frequent flyer status. The associated privileges will make my trip even more enjoyable, faster and more comfortable.
