Miles & More (Lufthansa, Austrian, Swiss, and other partners) - LH's "supercheap" domestics also "super flexible" ?

Just read about this thing on lh.com while booking a supercheap domestic flight DUS-MUC:

"Flight fare is not refundable except the paid taxes and security charges..."

If this is true it would be a better deal than a train ride where you dont have these cancellation rules!! Well they need some time to refund the money but in the era of ETIX it's simple and efficient.

The ticket price is just 14,- EUR and the taxes and fees were about 76,- EUR plus TSC a few bucks !

So your loss in case of a cancellation is about 20 bucks !?

Any mistakes in my minds ??

You're completely right and that's exactly what I do several times a year. If I don't know when exactly a meeting will be over I just book 2 flights in cheapo booking classes and ask for a refund of taxes etc afterwards. If you book clever you can even save TSC. ;)

Yep, I'm doing that all the time, as well.

And your new signature is freaking me out! :eek:

This is correct. I never did this on domestic flights, but did this a lot of times on cheap return flights in Europe. You just call LH, tell them to cancel the ticket and to refund the taxes and fees. About one week later, the refund appears on the credit card.

And your new signature is freaking me out! :eek:

Me too, but you made me realize that I don't really need a proper job. :cool:

Arghhh, makes me feel I left the DO too early and missed the best part..... :cool:

BTW,
these tickets aren´t as unflexible as one might think :cool:

Nah, no biggie. You basically missed him inventing a perpetuum mobile for miles and money. Endless, endless miles and money. For free.

But as you can see, as soon as his financial/travel problems were solved, here comes the woman...

I guess I know which topic is more complex..... that´s why it took my only a relativ short time to understand the principles of air travel compared to the time it took me to just start understanding the principles of the other sex...

Well, I guess we'll need another DO in order to sort out my other problems. But there again flying gets you some personal attention (paging London ;) ) as well if you're good. But I think buying cheapo (in-)flexible is not gonna help too much. :D
