•The special feature:

Just a few minutes after takeoff the oil temperature of Engine No. 3 is suddenly twice as high as it should be. Immediately the crew of the Airbus A340 turns its full attention to the procedures they have practiced so often in the simulator.

This unique glimpse of an "abnormal procedure" is included in the main film. The bonus features the whole procedure.

•The flight route

Due to ongoing treaty negotiations the alternative route is south of Russian airspace over Romania, Georgia and Kazakhstan to China.

•The cockpit egg timer

Flight Captain and Fleet Manager Thomas Frick tells the unique story of the eggtimer, built into every SWISS Cockpit.

Anyone wanting explanations first hand can "tune into" the commentstrack by the captain.

•In a skilift over the roofs of Shanghai

You only see something like this once in a lifetime at EXPO 2011. Next they visit the highest visitor platform in the world (1555ft) at the "World Financial Center". And end the day by dining in one of the best restaurants in Shanghai run by a Swiss manager T8.
