Pop-up restaurants are popping up everywhere. But Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is taking the trend to new heights.
On November 21, SWISS is opening a pop-up restaurant on Flight LX 16 from Zurich to New York — a first for a major airline. Passengers in First, Business and, yes, even Economy class will get a special, one-time-only meal prepared by famous Swiss chef Andreas Caminada (his restaurant, at the Schloss Schauenstein in the Swiss Alps, was awarded three Michelin stars and named one of the San PellegrinoWorld’s 50 Best Restaurants).
Caminada and his kitchen team will be on this flight to personally serve their creations.

“We are delighted that, in collaboration with Andreas Caminada, we will be the first airline in the world to take the innovative ‘pop-up restaurant’ concept and offer it above the clouds,” said Frank Maier, SWISS’s Head of Product & Services. ”As Switzerland’s most decorated chef,” Maier continues, “and with his international reputation and his constant insistence on the highest quality and only the finest ingredients, Andreas Caminada is the ideal partner for us in this venture.”
