I’d think it’s worth it if you’re flying Swiss business class as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, though I guess I’d recommend against it if you commute in Swiss business class on a regular basis.

Before, the prize pick would undoubtedly be one of the throne seats, though unfortunately now they come at a price ( how did I not write about this back in February?) – a rather hefty one at that, at HK$800-HK$1600 per flight, unless you have HON Circle status (in which case it’s free).
