Various members on VFT have reported refunds of Meilenschnppchen if passengers got sick and could not travel. That's goodwill, of course, but there seems to be a good chance you may get it.

Two questions:

1) I see HKG is for booking now and travel until the end of may, is it always such short notice? I'm looking at flying in March 2018, so plenty of time to monitor.

2) Does SIN ever come out as starting point? Currently Asia only has Korea, China, and Hong Kong.

HKG until end of May? Are you talking about Meilenschnppchen or Fly Smart?

Nobody knows the offers for March 2018 now.

SIN was available in January (Eco) for 01.05. - 15.06.

Yes, you are right. I didn't look for OS flights.

Overdraft is recognised in online bookings.

I am looking at some mileage bargains from WAW on LO and noticed that on the polish site it shows "monday sMILEs" to several european cities in next two weeks for 7,000 m&m points r/t (shows normal price of 35,000 but that is struck-through) (http://www.lot.com/pl/en/mileage-bargain) whereas the lufthansa site shows the same awards for 15,000 m&m points. (http://meilenschnaeppchen.com/index.php?lang=en) The lufthansa site shows the bargains out through september but LO only over the next two week period.

I also attached screenshots of what I am talking about.


For instance, WAW-DUS return is on both lists, but WAW-TLV r/t is only on the LH site. I am interested in the WAW-DUS at 7k r/t sort of deal. (it also shows one-ways @ 5k points (instead of the usual 17.5k).

The polish site says these have to be booked over the phone and "Promotion is valid only on Polish market." (all the flights are to/from poland anyways...) I Have a LH m&m account with US address and plenty of points. Is this 7,000 r/t award option available just by calling them and providing my LH m&m number (and payment info)? What is the typical YQ on these? Are there any other fees? Is there anything else I am missing here? Saving 8k points with one phone call would be great, especially for a last-minute jaunt.

Any tips/knowledge/DPs on these "monday sMILEs" would be appreciated.

Not aware of any residence restriction on those so you should be eligible.

The fees will match the ones on the M&M website.

I've use the LO Monday sMILEs a few times. The YQ is next to nothing in comparison with what you pay on LH and the miles needed are 5K/7K for one way/RT, which is a great deal. You just call them and book it. No need to worry about which country you're in.

The downside is that it only seems to cover Y redemptions, just like the LO flights that feature on LH's Mileage Bargains. It also only covers flights for the next month or so.

It's a different promo that appears every 2 weeks rather than monthly.

Since LH slashed their short haul Y surcharges last year, the difference in fees is very slim. For long haul it's still quite a bit cheaper to fly LO - and the Monday specials often allow for 30-40k round trip flights with less then 150E surcharges if you can get yourself to WAW.

anyone else getting internal server error when trying to book?
Code:
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

The VIE-LAX offer for 55k in C this month is pretty tempting....
whiskey_sk and WolfvanWeen like this.

also TYO is back after quite some while.
Any idea how to get the website to honour SEN mileage credit? I'm missing 11k award miles and it just wouldn't budge:
Code:
The following error occured:

    The user does not have enough miles available on his account to book the selected trip. (7064 - 2645)
