BAC Italy Pics Bob and Ann in Italy 2011

  • June 22 - Florence to Home

    We were up at 6:00. We were p[icked up by taxi at 7:30. We arrived at the airport shortly after 8:00. We checked in at Swiss Air and walked to the departure area. Somehow we missed the VIP lounge before passing through security. We found a fast food cafe and had juice, coffee and a croissant. Our plane left for Zurich on time at 9:40. They served us juice, coffee, fresh fruit and a croissant.


    We arrived on time at Zurich, passed through passport control and security. The VIP lounges were closed so we went to our gate and waited until boarding our flight at 12:40. I love Swiss air. We had seats that allowed us to lounge and recline to form a bed. Service was superb. For lunch they served us an appetizer of trout mousse with smoked salmon along with pepper, carrot and courgette salad in addition to a green salad. For a main course I had fillet of pike-perch “acqua pazza” with date tomatoes and turned saffron potatoes. Ann had fennel and tomato ragout with green olives and long-grain rice. For dessert I had apple cream with rosemary and crème de gruyere. Ann had a fresh fruit salad. They served us lots of wine, coffee and, of course, Swiss chocolates.


    We are home now. It was a long flight but Swiss Air made it enjoyable.
