Swiss, the Swiss carrier, now enables passengers to book seats that feature “integrated movement,” a built-in pedal device that can be used individually and adapts to each passenger’s personal pace. This allows physical activity to be easily incorporated into the flight, whether as light movement while seated or as a more focused workout.

The new offer, which involves a fee, also includes a coordinated fitness kit provided on board. It features contemporary athletic wear, a reusable water bottle and a scented towel.

The system, according to an announcement, was tested in advance under realistic conditions, both during flight and on the ground. The concept, said the announcement, has also been carefully developed from a design perspective. The pedal device is subtly integrated into the seat and blends harmoniously into the existing cabin design.

Heike Birlenbach, chief customer officer, said, “With ‘Fit All the Way’ [the carrier’s fitness program], we are intentionally expanding our offering to include a new dimension of travel.” She added, “We want to give our passengers even more ways to feel comfortable and stay active, especially on longer flights.”
