You can manage to get DUS-ZRH-CDG-ZRH-DUS for around 590€... so not worth to include milewise 1.875miles for 100€ extra But I know, you were forced by customer requirement!

Just noticed that I somewhen left over ZRH-DUS in J (?!) which I might simply forget about it, cause I can't integrate it somehow in a cheap ZSWISSDE trip

The good old mile run (the MUC-...-VIE one) can not be easily extended by a DUS leg: it causes costs to explode from 636€ to 1.377€ if DUS is included (at ZSWISS only, seems no ZSWISSDE is availible on that route/routing).

But what one could do is merge the big one (the MUC-...-VIE) with the DUS-ZRH-CDG-ZRH-DUS costing 591€ extra [yes you have to get somehow from ZRH to DUS, where I could make use of my J (?!) leg]

Being registered for the double status miles promo, you get even more status miles....

All we need to find out is, if the promotion works for all of us, even the not targeted customers...

...but not applicable for the HON run, but a SEN/FTL run, right?

I can't get the MUC-...-VIE one working. Any hints? I was also thinking about starting by including BTS-MUC leg in there and finishing in VIE.

So what about combining

MUC - GVA - ZRH - VIE - GVA - ZRH - MUC
ZRH - DUS - ZRH
DUS - ZRH - CDG - ZRH - DUS

and combining two ZSWISSDE with a cheap SWISS Weekend Business Ticket or even a normal Economy ex ZRH. Who works out a schedule flying

MUC - GVA - ZRH - VIE - GVA - ZRH/ZRH - DUS/DUS - ZRH - CDG - ZRH - DUS/DUS - ZRH/ZRH - MUC

Lucky you. The (blonde?) lady said to me, she can only price @LH fare and she has no access to LX's fares. So she priced it for me at ridiculous 2.xxx€ ... finally she said there is a D and even Z but she can't price it. Well well...

Does the MUC - .... - VIE or DUS - ... - CDG fare just work during the week or is it basically possible on each day the flights are offered, meaning can I do it on a weekend?

I guess, we need to call LX or is LH able to book that as well?

Maybe a simple restricted Eco to bridge the gap. In the past they had the Swiss Business Class weekend fare. Is this still on offer?

Should be around 1800 Euro all in Business or about 1400 Euro if the ZRH - DUS - ZRH leg is in Eco. Building the schedule should be the real art.
