Hmmmm. Did Swiss International ever start transatlantic service with 737s? Does anyone know how many seats are on the plane, and what model 737 it is? OAG and the CRS just show it as a "737" which used to mean a 737-200 (the second and third generation models had individual codes), but I doubt if that has the range, unless they tore out most of the seats and added fuel tanks. The fare is quoted as USD 4258.80. -- Michael C. Berch mcb@postmodern.com
