  • Your flight is not operated by SWISS.
  • For flights in SWISS Economy to certain destinations, such as Tel Aviv, it is not possible to pre-order.

For your SWISS Business short-haul flight, you have the option of pre-ordering your hot main course from six weeks and up to 24 hours before departure. On long-haul flights, you can select your meal from six weeks and up to 24 hours before departure.
  • The maximum loading capacity on a flight has already been reached, so no further products can be ordered.

Yes, you can still purchase a wide variety of products directly on board, subject to their availability.

For flight times of approximately two hours or more, our extended SWISS Saveurs menu is also available, with two hot main courses. To ensure that your favourite product is on board, we recommend that you select and reserve your desired meal in advance.
