LX Airline Code: Swiss International Air Lines IATA & ICAO
Swiss International Air Lines is stored in this dataset as IATA code LX and ICAO code SWR, based in Switzerland. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
LX is the IATA airline designator stored for Swiss International Air Lines. ICAO is SWR. Country of record: Switzerland. On a cryptic GDS line the IATA code sits immediately before the flight number, for example LX 456. Agents should not confuse LX (two characters, sometimes a digit such as 6E) with SWR (three letters). This code page does not list routes, alliances, baggage rules, or fleet. Those facts are not in the dataset. Other Switzerland carriers stored here: none stored. To decode a full itinerary that markets LX, paste the PNR into the parser.
How to use this page
- Find LX at the start of the flight line in the PNR.
- Paste the full itinerary into the PNR parser (or the GDS-specific parser if you know the host).
- Confirm the carrier name resolves to Swiss International Air Lines.
- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
