CABIN PRODUCT FINDER

Is this SWISS Senses First?

Match the 242-seat A350-900: three physical First suites with room for four passengers, followed by 45 Business, 38 Premium Economy, and 156 Economy seats. The center Suite Plus seats two; it does not make the cabin four separate suites.

TARGET CABIN

SWISS Senses First

Airbus A350-900 · 242-seat Senses configuration

SWISS Senses First has two enclosed Single Suites at the windows and one center Suite Plus for two passengers. All three physical suites have closing doors and personal wardrobes; the center suite can convert into a double bed.

  • Airbus A350-900
  • 3 physical First suites
  • 4 passenger positions
  • Center Suite Plus for two
  • 45 Business seats
  • 38 Premium Economy seats
  • 156 Economy seats
  • 242 seats total
Do not describe this as four suites. It is three physical suites with four passenger positions, and only the complete 3F/45J/38W/156Y aircraft map confirms the target cabin.Open SWISS's Senses First guide
DIFFERENT CABIN

Legacy SWISS First

Airbus A330, Airbus A340, or Boeing 777 · eight First seats

SWISS's established long-haul aircraft have eight First Class seats rather than the three-suite Senses cabin. They remain SWISS First, but they do not provide the A350's two Single Suites plus center Suite Plus layout.

  • 8 First Class seats
  • Airbus A330-300
  • Airbus A340-300
  • Boeing 777-300ER
  • No 3F/45J/38W/156Y map
SWISS has announced a progressive retrofit, but an aircraft type, route, or generic SWISS First label does not prove Senses. Treat these aircraft as legacy unless the exact booking shows the new Senses seat map.Compare SWISS's long-haul fleet
