Lucy & Eitchkay Swiss Holidays: May 2009

Whew, I finally get a chance to really plan for our trip to Switzerland. I've already booked my flight on, what else, SIA of course! It's a 12 hour 40 min nonstop flight to Zurich on board SQ342 Boeing 777-300ER Passenger and we decided to pay the extra S$74 for the preferred seats. Departing Singapore on 15th June at 13.55pm and arriving at Zurich at 20.45.

Our decision to go to Switzerland started with my stumbling on SIA promotion to some cities in Europe. Boo wanted to fly to London but I told him I would really love to see the mountains of Switzerland and that was it - our decision to spend our June vacation in Switzerland. We booked the flight which came up to S$2376.00 including taxes and surcharges (excluding preferred seat charge)

And now comes the itinerary. I found some useful advice and tips on the following sites.
