SWISS relaunches inflight shopping service with LSG’s Retail inMotion

By Luke Barras-hill |

 – TRBusinessPassengers onboard Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) can now browse from a refreshed assortment of boutique products courtesy of wholly owned LSG Group subsidiary Retail inMotion (RiM).

Effective 1 November, SWISS’s Inflight Shopping powered by Worldshop brings a varied mix of travel exclusives, sustainable items and bestsellers to intercontinental and selected continental flights.

According to the LSG Group, product assortments are clustered around three themes: products for your journey, products to bring back from your trip and products that make you feel better.

Intrepid voyagers can pickup goods such as Nuud vegan deodorant, which is packed in a bioplastic tube made from sugar cane, and Planet Buddies Children’s Headphones inspired by endangered species from across the globe.

The packaging for the Planet Buddies products are made from 100% recyclable cardboard, use soy-based inks and have no plastic window.

Meanwhile, quintessentially Swiss-made skus include Lindt Tin Suitcase Switzerland Edition, Caran d’Ache Colouring Pencils, and Swissdent Dental Care are available to purchase.
