Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) will be offering travelers a selection of 13 documentary films by filmmakers from around the world this December and January.
The ‘Flying Film Festival’ will be featured on all SWISS long-haul services and in all three seating classes. Two awards, the Golden Wings Award and the Silver Wings, will be bestowed to the festival's two best films after the event.
