In a historic move, Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is set to make its debut in Seoul as part of its expanded 2024 summer schedules. The airline is not only reaching new heights in the western hemisphere with recently announced intercontinental destinations like Washington, DC, and Toronto but is also broadening its long-haul network to include the vibrant city of Seoul in the east.
SWISS is making headlines by introducing its first-ever services to Seoul, the dynamic capital of South Korea, in the upcoming summer of 2024. Renowned for its harmonious blend of traditional charm and contemporary allure, Seoul captivates visitors with iconic landmarks such as the Gyeongbokgung Palace and the futuristic N Seoul Tower. The city’s diverse culinary scene, ranging from delectable street food to high-end gourmet dining, adds another layer of excitement to the travel experience. Popular districts like Gangnam and Myeongdong contribute to Seoul’s allure, making it an ideal destination for both leisure travelers and business professionals.
Recognizing the economic significance of South Korea, which stands as Switzerland’s fourth-largest Asian trading partner, SWISS is strategically positioning itself to cater to the growing demand. The new Seoul service is poised to serve not only explorers and culture enthusiasts but also the thriving business travel community.
SWISS is scheduled to commence thrice-weekly non-stop service between Zurich and Seoul, starting from 07 May 2024. The flights will be operated using Airbus A340 equipment, ensuring a comfortable and efficient travel experience. The eastbound flight, LX122, will depart from Zurich at 1340H on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, reaching Seoul at 0825H the following day after an approximately 11-hour-and-45-minute flight. The westbound LX123 service will depart from Seoul on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 0955H, with arrival in Zurich at 1650H.
