SWISS gets second daily flight with new Lufthansa codeshare

SWISS' daily non-stop service to Zurich is now supplemented by a second service which transits via Munich. The twice daily flight is available throughout the winter, until March 24, 2007, with passengers able to choose from a day or night time departure.

The Munich to Dubai leg of the journey, under flight number LX4008 will depart Munich at 21:20, while the Dubai to Munich portion will depart at 08:50 arriving in to Munich at 12:25. This choice is available both to and from Zurich and Geneva.

Felix Rodel, Area Manager Middle East and Africa, SWISS, said:

"We have experienced consistently strong seat loads over the last couple of months, a trend which looks set to continue throughout the winter. Having the second daily service, in partnership with Lufthansa, will now provide more flexibility for passengers and will allow us to carry more travellers."
