This week, we're on board Helvetic Airways for a short but memorable flight from London City to Zurich — a journey that quietly reminds you how personal flying can still feel.
In this video, I take you through the full experience from boarding to landing aboard the Embraer, an aircraft that feels perfectly suited to this route, offering a calm, almost semi-private atmosphere.
The cabin is comfortable, the service thoughtful, and the pace refreshingly unhurried.A real highlight of the flight was spending time speaking with Julie, one of the Helvetic Airways cabin crew members, whose warmth, professionalism, and genuine pride in her work perfectly captured the spirit of the airline. Moments like these underline just how central the crew are to the overall passenger experience!
