Since my last few flights have been transpacific ones and it having been a while since I’ve done a transatlantic route, I decided to give one a go a couple days back. This particular route is served by Swiss International as LX40 with the Boeing 777-300ER, the backbone of its long-haul fleet, on a 1x daily basis.
