en route to Prague

Our Swiss Airlines flight was quite pleasant despite a delayed departure and a slightly disorganized boarding process, we still arrived in Zurich on time. This was an overnight flight when factoring in the time change and so having redeemed points for business class seats we were fortunate enough to have lay flat seats/beds. The service onboard was pretty good, there was one flight attendant that seemed bothered to be working but other than her everyone else was great. We were served dinner, we both had the chicken with couscous dish which was pretty good for airplane food. I tried a Swiss white wine, Blanc Neuchâtal, which was not good. The Swiss should stick to what they are good at, namely chocolate, cheese, and watches. I switched to a lovely Malbec from Argentina, Finca Agostino which worked much better with my palette. I tried sleeping and even with the comforts of a flat bed, no such luck. I knew that this would be trouble but what can you do? Shoulda taken that sleeping pill. Before I knew it breakfast was served, mini croissants, fresh fruit, strawberry yoghurt with coffee and we were touching down in Zurich. Exhausted at this point I knew the next 6 hour layover was going to be dreadful. Our flight to Prague was also on Swiss Airlines and was a short 55 minutes. Take note AC, again in business class during this short flight we had beverage service and a meal. The flight attendants on this leg were not only very friendly but incredibly efficient. And so after two days of travelling we finally landed in Prague and our land adventures could begin.
