SWISS Airbus A340-300 seat map

SWISS's own seat map for this Airbus A340-300 shows 213 seats: 8 First, 40 Business, 21 Premium Economy and 144 Economy. SWISS First runs from row 1 to 2 in a 1-2-1 layout. SWISS Business runs from row 4 to 12 in a mix of 1-2-1 and 2-2-1 rows. SWISS Premium Economy runs from row 20 to 22 in a 2-3-2 layout. SWISS Economy runs from row 27 to 45 in a 2-4-2 layout. Rows 6, 29 and 30 are exit rows behind a door. The map marks rows 28 and 31 to 34 (31 to 34 at the windows only) as SWISS's Preferred zone. SWISS Business alternates its window seats as on the A330: single Extra space seats at A in rows 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12, a pair at A and B in the rows between, and a single K throughout. The map also draws one more middle pair, unnumbered, just ahead of row 6, which SWISS's 42 Business seats include; it is left off this page because its row number isn't shown.
