One of our employee has a return ticket to Switzerland with Swissair.
Fortunately (I think) his return is before October 28 and the flight might
be covered by the money, which came from the Swiss government.
I just wanted to add, that I do not think, that Crossair will be able to
cover transatlantic flights, not to speak of flights from California to
Switzerland. Also I do not think that the Swissair will be able to
recompense any tickets.
I'd probably try to fly earlier (before October 28) or get a deal with
another airline - I heard that some other airlines have specials for
Swissair passengers, since they do not have a lot of passengers these times.
Good luck,
Nicole
