swiss is always always always late! Not a single flight on time in years! Their tickets are super expensive for a sh_t company like that, i hope they burn in hell

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience with Swiss International Air Lines. After my luggage was lost on a flight, I was assured by a Swiss representative at Miami airport that I would receive a daily allowance based on the contents of my suitcase. However, the compensation I received was much lower than expected, with only 50% reimbursement for essential items like clothing and toiletries.

To make matters worse, the reimbursement amounts calculated by Swiss were incorrect, and despite numerous follow-up emails, I received no satisfactory response. The link provided for compensation was also non-functional, further adding to my frustration.

Swiss’s handling of the situation has been unacceptable. It is disappointing that an airline of this stature is failing to provide even basic customer service, let alone addressing compensation issues promptly and accurately.

I have always expected better from Swiss Airlines, but after this experience, I am reconsidering ever flying with them again. I urge others to be cautious and to consider alternative airlines if they value reliability and responsive customer service.

This is my final email to Swiss Air, which captures their business model. Bear in mind the flight was never taken due to a medical emergency:
“My refund is now complete after 41 weeks (more than 3/4 of a year) and I am finally done forever with your absolutely pathetic airline. In my particular case, not giving passengers who provide proof of medical emergencies immediate and complete refunds is flat out wrong. Astonishingly, a simple search will reveal the horrific treatment that I experienced at the hands of Swiss Air is not the exception but rather part of a larger pattern of corporate abuse. I feel sorry for elderly or otherwise compromised passengers who may not have the stamina to fight for what’s rightfully theirs. I travel frequently in any given year and have never come across an airline such as yours and truly believe I would still be fighting for my money had I not gotten the Department of Transportation involved. I strongly suggest you go on TripAdvisor, read the Swiss Air reviews, and inform your CEO that your company needs some major restructuring and training.”

The customer service experience has been extremely disappointing. In May 2024, SWISS charged my credit card for a ticket that was never delivered. Additionally, I paid for the ticket using cash and points from my Miles & More account, and those points have never been refunded. Consequently, I had to purchase another ticket from Zurich to Paris. Despite numerous exchanges with customer service, the billed amount has still not been reimbursed.

I have been a loyal customer, frequently booking flights with SWISS to destinations such as China and the USA. However, due to this unresolved issue and the lack of response from Miles & More, I will be switching my business to Air France.

I travelled with Swiss air back in july 2024. We had a single layover, from london to geneva with an 8 hour layover in geneva and from there flew to zante airport. During our layover they did not manage to transfer our luggage to our destination. We filed a report and were left with little to no communication with the airline despite many efforts to track our luggage. Our luggage arrived on the last day of our holiday, causing us to buy all new clothes and necessities etc for the entire week. It has been a month since Our holiday and I have just been informed Swiss air will only reimburse us 50% of costs. This is absurd as this fault lies soley in the hands of the airline, I am appalled at this, as there is no reason I should not be reimbursed the full 100% of added costs I had to pay. I will never fly with swiss air again
