SWISS’ business class throne seats are excellent, and can be assigned by any business class passenger 48 hours in advance. Many people don’t realize this, so it’s a way to save $149-199 on SWISS’ best business class seats. Now, in some cases it’s possible there won’t be throne seats left 48 hours, and it may be worth paying.

In each block, one center seat is directly exposed to the aisle, whereas the other one isn’t (there’s a partition between them).

We flew in SWISS business class onboard their flagship 777 aircraft as a part of a SWISS 3 Continent Global Fare. The cabin is large for a business class cabin, with 64 business class seats and an alternating 1-2-2 / 2-2-1 configuration.

SWISS Business Class Cabin

The alternating configuration of the SWISS Business Class Cabin means each second row has a single seat near the window. These seats are known as throne seats and can be booked ahead of your trip for an additional fee. Alternatively you can take your chances when the seat selection opens up 24 hours before your flight departures. The throne seats not only mean you have direct aisle access and no-one next to you, but also come with a lot more storage.
