Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is to further expand its range of air services in its 2024 summer schedules with the addition of Seoul to its long-haul network. So alongside the already-announced new intercontinental destinations of Washington, DC and Toronto in the west, SWISS will also be enlarging its long-haul network in the east.
Seoul: a SWISS network premiere
Seoul, the capital of South Korea, will receive its first-ever SWISS services in summer 2024. The city offers a perfect blend of traditional charm and contemporary flair, and delights its visitors with majestic sights like the Gyeongbokgung Palace and such futuristic landmarks as the N Seoul Tower. The local culinary scene, which ranges from tasty street food to sophisticated gourmet dining, is a further highlight of any Seoul stay. Fashionable districts such as Gangnam and Myeongdong are highly popular, too. With its winning combination of modernity and tradition, Seoul offers a unique travel experience to explorers and culture aficionados alike. And in addition to leisure travellers, SWISS’s new Seoul service is also geared to the business travel community: South Korea is Switzerland’s fourth-biggest Asian trading partner.
SWISS will commence thrice-weekly non-stop service between Zurich and Seoul on May 7, 2024. The flights will be operated with Airbus A340-300 equipment. The eastbound flight LX122 will leave Zurich at 13:40 on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, landing in Seoul at 08:25 the following day after an 11-hour-and-45-minute flight. The westbound LX123 service will depart from Seoul on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 09:55, arriving in Zurich at 16:50.
