hi guys
want to take avantage of this double status mile offer: swiss fare ex lhr seem to be very good: is there any reason why:
Thu. 17.09.2009 08:40 LHR - 11:35 ZRHLX 317Business(J)
Thu. 17.09.2009 12:30 ZRH - 13:35 FRALX 1072
Return flight: Frankfurt - London (London Heathrow) via Zurich
Thu. 17.09.2009 14:30 FRA - 15:25 ZRHLX 1073Business(J)
Thu. 17.09.2009 17:05 ZRH - 17:45 LHRLX 326
wouldnt work? is there any issue about getting off the inbound swiss plane into fra and getting back onto the same plane time wise?
thanks

Don't forget that you can usually add ZRH-GVA in the middle for routing LHR-ZRH-GVA-xxx
LHR-ZRH-GVA-DUS costs 301 GBP
FRA is for 306 GBP

your FRA turnover should work out. However, note that LX usually gets a bus gate at FRA. You'll need to walk quite a bit from the lower level bus arrival back to the gate. Doable though ;)

sounds like a great idea; my home airport is dub; so i'm thinking about flying over the night before so i can get an early start
when i look at the swiss website it doesnt seem to give me the option to do the LHR-ZRH-GVA-fra route; it seems to only give me lhr-zrh-fra or lhr gva zrh; how do i do this? (sorry for what may be a rather basic question but i havent done a mr before) i would need to try and get there and back in a day and if possible get the 9pm bmi flight back to dub
thanks
You just need to ignore swiss.com and book through elsewhere. You can even use your travel agent.
