Special meals  Catering for all needs 

From Asian-vegetarian to unseasoned - our passengers with special food requirements will find a large selection of special meals on European flights in the SWISS Business and on all intercontinental flights. We cater to every taste. Let us know your desired special meal when booking your flight or contact one of the SWISS agents a maximum of 24 hours prior to departure.

Special Meal required due to medical reasons

If you require a special meal due to medical reasons such as allergies, surgery or illness, contact our SWISS Service Center for further information at least 5 days before departure.

Nut allergy

SWISS recognizes that some passengers are allergic to nuts. We do serve nut products and there may be trace elements of unspecified nut ingredients in meals and snacks. We make no provisions to be nut-free. Additionally, other customers may bring nuts on board. Therefore we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment on a SWISS operated flight. When making your travel arrangements, we recommend that you assess the extent of any allergies or other medical conditions to ensure that air travel is the right choice for you in regards to allergic reactions.
