Swiss relaunches flights to New York from Geneva

SWISS has resumed its flagship service between Geneva and New York. Operated by an Airbus A330-300, the flights will initially run on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with plans for daily flights by the northern 2022 summer. SWISS hit the pause button on its Geneva – New York flights in 2020. In September 2021, the airline said flights would resume before Christmas. The Geneva – New York flights will operate in addition to the existing Zurich – New York flights. Departing Geneva’s Cointrin Airport at 11:30 on the selected days, LX22 will take around eight and a half hours to complete the flight to New York, landing at 14:30 on the same day. In the opposite direction, LX23 pushes back from JFK at 19:40 on the same day to fly through the night and touch down in Geneva at 09:15 the following day. LX22 and the return LX23 service are operated by Airbus A330-300 aircraft. The A330s can fly 236 passengers in three cabin classes, including 183 passengers in economy class, 45 passengers in business class, and eight passengers in first class.<br/>
