Under the motto "More room to feel good," the Swiss leisure airline combines a modern cabin design with high-quality materials, a calming color palette, and state-of-the-art technology. The new cabin is far more than just an upgrade of the seats. It represents a consciously designed sense of space that prioritizes relaxation, comfort, and a welcoming atmosphere.</span></p><p><span>The elegant and modern design of the new aircraft livery, featuring darker shades of red and blue and the characteristic red wave pattern, is reflected in the interior. Inspired by comfortable, inviting sofas, the interior exudes a sense of calm while simultaneously conveying a high-quality and contemporary feel. This inspiration is complemented by elements of contemporary Swiss architecture. Reduced forms, clean lines, and selectively used patterns define the cabin's appearance. Fine details and high-quality workmanship underscore the premium standard in all travel classes.</span></p><p><span>Compared to the previous cabin, the color scheme has been deliberately reduced. This conscious reduction creates a sense of calm and harmony. Shades of blue, in their various forms, characterize the overall appearance.</span><br><br><span><strong>Edelweiss Economy: Timeless, clear and inviting</strong></span><br><span>The new Edelweiss Economy cabin impresses with its high-quality, clean design. Subtle, blue woven fabrics create a calm, timeless ambiance. Fine stitching details give the seats an elegant, tailored look. Overall, the interior appears harmonious and inviting.</span></p><p><span>All seats offer approximately three centimeters more legroom compared to the previous cabin, as well as a greater seat tilt angle, which noticeably increases comfort on long journeys.</span></p><p><span><strong>Edelweiss Premium Economy: More premium and noticeably more space</strong></span><br><span>With the new cabin, Edelweiss is strategically expanding its premium offerings and simultaneously increasing the proportion of premium seats on board. The new Edelweiss Premium Economy features 28 seats in a 2-3-2 configuration with approximately one meter of legroom and a high-quality hard-shell seat, similar to those used on other Lufthansa Group airlines.</span></p><p><span>The darker, more elegant color scheme underscores the premium aspirations. Guests enjoy a welcome drink even before takeoff. During the flight, they benefit from an expanded food selection, served on china on a tablecloth. Alcoholic beverages are included. Noise-canceling headphones from Edelweiss Business Class provide added comfort.</span></p><p><span><strong>Edelweiss Business: First-class comfort with direct aisle access</strong></span><br><span>The new Edelweiss Business combines high comfort with a cabin layout tailored to holidaymakers. The continuous 1-2-1 seating configuration offers every guest direct aisle access. Approximately half of the seats are designed as double seats and are ideal for couples traveling together.</span></p><p><span>The seats can be fully converted into a flat bed, allowing for restful sleep on long journeys. Dark blue tones, a unique woven upholstery, and carefully selected wood surfaces characterize the comfortable cabin design.</span></p><p><span><strong>Edelweiss Business Suite: Exclusivity meets maximum privacy</strong></span><br><span>The new Edelweiss Business Suite is designed for guests with the highest demands for privacy and comfort. The seats can be fully converted into a spacious, flat bed.</span> Closable doors, approximately 1.20 meters high, ensure a high degree of privacy <span>, while the large 32-inch monitors provide an immersive cinematic experience. In the </span>In the middle<span> suites, the room divider can be individually adjusted, allowing the suite to be used flexibly for guests traveling together.</span></p><p>A special feature is the generous open foot area, which offers significantly more freedom of movement when lying down<span>. The package is complemented by a comfortable memory foam pillow and a mattress topper for restful sleep, as well as additional storage space for personal hand luggage.</span></p><p><span><strong>Modern technology for all guests on board</strong></span><br><span>In addition to design and comfort, modern technology plays a central role in the new cabin concept. In all travel classes, guests benefit from free high-speed internet via Starlink, 4K screens with Bluetooth audio connectivity, and a comprehensive inflight entertainment system with over 400 films and series, a 3D flight map, and external cameras. Human-centric lighting supports the natural circadian rhythm on long-haul flights.</span></p><p><span>The offering is complemented by wireless charging in Edelweiss Premium Economy, Edelweiss Business, and Edelweiss Business Suite, as well as high-performance USB-C and USB-A ports at all seats with up to 60 watts of power, allowing for convenient laptop charging. Additional power outlets are available in Edelweiss Business and Edelweiss Business Suite. Noise-canceling headphones provide added comfort in Edelweiss Premium Economy, Edelweiss Business, and Edelweiss Business Suite.</span></p><p><span>“With the new Airbus A350, we seized the opportunity to rethink our entire cabin product and develop it consistently with our guests’ well-being in mind,” says Bernd Bauer, CEO of Edelweiss. “Our aim was to create a space that exudes tranquility, is of high quality, and clearly positions itself as a premium product. The new cabin is a logical evolution of our design and represents modern comfort, Swiss quality, and a contemporary long-haul holiday flight experience.”</span><br><br><span><strong>Availability</strong></span><br><span>The first aircraft with the new cabin will enter service in December 2026. Flights will be bookable from summer 2026. Further converted Airbus A350s will follow gradually in January, February, April, May, and July 2027. By summer 2027, Edelweiss's entire Airbus A350 fleet will be equipped with the new cabin.</span></p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[travel experience]]></category>

                        <guid>https://newsroom.flyedelweiss.com/en/new-culinary-offering-from-edelweiss/</guid><pp:caseid>721294</pp:caseid><description><![CDATA[<div class="richtext no-box"><p>The leading Swiss leisure airline Edelweiss will present a new catering concept with new and innovative tableware on board its aircraft starting December 1, 2019. In addition, the Edelweiss Café will open at Zurich Airport in spring 2020 in collaboration with Autogrill.</p><p>Edelweiss flies to 72 holiday destinations in 32 countries worldwide, and its route network is constantly growing. "With each new dream destination, we also transport more international passengers who use our connections. In the future, we want to inspire not only our Swiss guests, but also our international customers, to discover the most beautiful parts of the world with us," says Bernd Bauer, CEO of Edelweiss.<br><br><strong>Local cuisine for national and international passengers</strong><br>"Starting in December, our guests will not only bring their personal memories and experiences on board, but will also enjoy specialties from their departure destinations," says Markus Gander, Chief Product Officer at Edelweiss. The catering companies at Edelweiss holiday destinations will now prepare their own, traditional Swiss dishes, which will be served alongside the existing Swiss dishes. "By introducing traditional Swiss dishes from our destinations, we are extending the holiday experience for returning guests and surprising our international passengers with familiar food from their homeland." Furthermore, thanks to local dishes made with local ingredients, sustainable value creation can be supported at the holiday destinations.</p><p>Of course, Swiss classics and Swiss products such as the popular breads from the Bertschi bakery in Kloten and Bircher muesli from Bonatura in Kerzers will continue to be served on board. Edelweiss is now also serving "Alpine Ice Tea," a beverage made exclusively for Edelweiss using organic alpine herbs and fresh mountain spring water from Swiss Alpine Herbs in the Simmental region.<br><br><strong>Less single-use plastic thanks to the new Edelweiss Box</strong><br>Starting in December, Edelweiss will be introducing, among other things, the practical and innovative Edelweiss Box in Economy Class. The box is reusable and offers even more benefits: One of these is the generous lid, which guests can use not only as a plate but also to cover their meals without the need for additional disposable plastic closures.</p><p>In Business Class, meals will be served on completely newly designed tableware starting February 1, 2020. This offers several advantages, says Markus Gander: "It's lighter, allowing us to reduce weight, and it gives our Business Class a completely new and modern aesthetic."</p></div><p><strong>Edelweiss Café at Zurich Airport</strong><br>In the new year, Edelweiss is breaking new ground and opening the Edelweiss Café at Zurich Airport, becoming a host not only above the clouds, but also on home soil. "Whether you want to say goodbye to your loved ones before departure or simply escape the stresses of everyday life into an inspiring holiday world – the Edelweiss Café is intended to be a place of emotions and encounters," says Bernd Bauer. The Edelweiss Café is being built in collaboration with Autogrill at the current location of Coffee & Friends, directly in front of the boarding pass check at Check-in 1, and will open in spring 2020.</p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[travel experience]]></category>

Registered passengers enjoy benefits at US airports.</p><p>Edelweiss is now TSA Pre-Check certified.

                        <title>A special bratwurst for Edelweiss</title>
                        <link>https://newsroom.flyedelweiss.com/en/a-special-bratwurst-for-edelweiss/</link>
                        <guid>https://newsroom.flyedelweiss.com/en/a-special-bratwurst-for-edelweiss/</guid><pp:caseid>721267</pp:caseid><description><![CDATA[<div class="richtext no-box"><p>Winter is here, and with it, traditional and beloved dishes that we've known and loved since childhood are returning to the table in many Swiss households. Edelweiss passengers don't have to miss out on culinary memories even above the clouds. From December 1, 2016, to May 31, 2017, Switzerland's leading leisure airline will surprise their guests with highly recognizable and high-quality delicacies. And a sausage that's only available on board Edelweiss.</p><p>"Do you want to wander ever further? See, the good lies so close. Just learn to grasp happiness. For happiness is always there." If you didn't know better, you might think Johann Wolfgang von Goethe had written his quatrain "Memories" for Edelweiss. Wandering far away is all well and good—but coming home is just as wonderful. And hardly anything makes us happier than food that reminds us of our childhood: Happiness is a bratwurst with rösti. A lamb's lettuce salad with egg. Happiness is our very own Rivella. Edelweiss takes this into account and serves a true taste of home on its aircraft in winter.<br><br><strong>Culinary combination of tradition and modernity</strong><br>Edelweiss continues to place value on regional and innovative products from local producers. "We have been working closely with suppliers from Switzerland for years, combining tradition with modernity. This is very well received by our passengers," says Edelweiss CEO Bernd Bauer.</p><p>In Economy Class, for example, you'll find one of the most traditional Swiss dishes of all: Bratwurst with Rösti and onion sauce. But not just any bratwurst! The Schwägalp Bratwurst was created by Herisau butcher Ueli Zeller especially for Edelweiss – it's available exclusively on board Edelweiss. Zeller enjoys developing new flavors with small tweaks (for example, spices), but places great value on natural, authentic products. "Our business has strong Swiss roots and aims to offer a special culinary experience. The same applies to Edelweiss, which is why we're a perfect match," says the Appenzell butcher.<br><br><strong>Smoked trout from Aargau and seasonal delicacies</strong><br>In Business Class, a veritable tour de Suisse is served. Smoked salmon trout from Aargau comes served with quinoa salad and horseradish-dill mayonnaise, along with lamb's lettuce and egg. The trout is produced by Kuratlis Räucherspezialitäten in Nussbaumen and refined for hours in the smokehouse according to time-honored tradition. For those who miss the mountains a little above the clouds, there's a fine Graubünden specialty: a duet of Capuns and Quarkpizokeln (sweet curd dumplings) with cream sauce.</p><p>Business Class also offers seasonal highlights. In December, there's another classic: roasted saddle of venison from Swiss hunting in a game cream sauce with spaetzle, red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and glazed chestnuts. Edelweiss serves veal fillet in a morel sauce with glazed carrots and potato gratin for its Christmas menu. In January and February, lovers of the Bernese platter will get their money's worth: there's the platter with Bernese tongue sausage, smoked bacon, and boiled potatoes. And from March to May, spring arrives with veal saltimbocca and white asparagus.<br><br><strong>Western Swiss down-to-earthness and southern sweetness</strong><br>The ultimate in combining tradition and modernity is achieved with the dessert in Business Class, a union of the official Swiss thirst quencher with French-speaking Swiss down-to-earthness and Alpine sweetness: Rivella jelly with Valais rye bread crumbles and an Edelweiss panna cotta. No, you can't explain what it tastes like; you have to try it. Or maybe you can: It tastes like Rivellaaaaaaah! And more!</p></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[travel experience]]></category>
