SWISSSwiss International Air Lines (SWISS) has earned first place in the World’s Best Airline Lounge for Dining category for its First Class Lounge in Terminal E at Zurich Airport in the 2024 World Culinary Awards. The distinction was presented at this year’s award ceremony in Dubai on 2 October.
SWISS guests enjoy freshly prepared à la carte dining in the company’s airport lounges. Switzerland’s leading airline also puts a particular accent on regional and seasonal ingredients in its culinary offerings. And in addition to such Swiss classics as Zürcher Geschnetzeltes and fondue, SWISS Lounge guests are further treated to international dishes such as Thai curry or burgers. The range of offerings is also changed every three months.
“We are very proud to earn such a prestigious award,” says Julia Hillenbrand, Head of SWISS Brand Experience. “It’s the result and the reflection of our continual commitment to offering our customers an exceptional culinary experience that we combine with top-notch service and optimum comfort and convenience. And it will inspire us to continue to set the highest possible standards to deliver on our premium promise.”

This prestigious accolade is a testament to our exceptional partnership and our team’s unwavering dedication to delivering outstanding service and unforgettable dining experiences. We look forward to continuing to inspire culinary excellence and achieving even greater milestones together.”
Sustainability on the menu, too
SWISS attaches great importance to sustainability in all its procurement activities. Its meats are selected by Gategourmet in accordance with rigorous animal welfare standards, and its fish and seafood are also obtained solely from certificated sources. In pursuing what is known as the ‘nose to tail’ approach, SWISS also offers more unusual cuts of meat to make optimum use of resources while also promoting culinary diversity.
A lounge with a view
In addition to the award-winning culinary offerings of its top-calibre à la carte restaurant, the SWISS First Class Lounge in Zurich Airport’s Terminal E features a host of further standout amenities such as two hotel rooms, a conference room, mini-suites and a champagne bar. Its wine humidor is home to over 700 fine bottles from all over the world. And its 352-square-metre terrace is a wonderful place for guests to relax and enjoy the panoramic views of the airport’s activities and beyond.
