SWISS resumes Duty Free Shopping on board
SWISS is once again offering in-flight shopping
SWISS is once again offering in-flight shopping. Duty Free on board had been interrupted for two and a half years due to the coronavirus pandemic. It is now possible to pay for in-flight purchases with award miles. The new assortment focuses on travel items, sustainability and Swiss products.
Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is resuming Duty Free Shopping from November 1 , 2022. After a hiatus of approximately two and a half years, following the coronavirus pandemic, passengers on SWISS flights with a duration of more than 55 minutes again have the opportunity to purchase premium duty-free items at heavily discounted prices. They can now also pay for these purchases with Miles & More award miles, either fully or partially, in combination with payment by credit card. The same applies to payment for the SWISS Saveurs catering offer . In addition, purchases made on board with the credit card are now entitled to Miles & More award miles.
“The resumption of the Duty-Free offer is an important step towards the return to our global premium service”, explains Tamur Goudarzi Pour, Chief Commercial Officer of SWISS. “After a hiatus of two and a half years, I am very pleased that we can now offer our passengers onboard shopping, offering them an even more varied and personalized experience. And the digital payment is now further simplified by the possible use of award miles”.
Focus on travel goods, sustainability and Swiss products
The recomposed Duty-Free assortment emphasizes three points: travel goods, sustainability, and Swiss products. Apart from the great high-end classics, such as watches and sunglasses, the offer now includes, for example, a tin box containing a selection of chocolate specialties, a deodorant packaged in a bioplastic tube made from sugar cane, or children’s headphones inspired by endangered animal species from around the world. Further information on the new Duty-Free offer from SWISS as well as details on the individual products can be found on SWISS.com.
