No, I really believe that Business Light carries no baggage allowance (it didn't on OS). We really need to keep a watch on this, because you can accidentally get stung by this. I got done by Iberia, as I really had not seen that my fare had no baggage allowance. It was a couple of years ago, when the main airlines starting imitating Ryanair, so I didn't think a legacy airline would behave like this. It was quite expensive, something like 60 Euros. Needless to say, I feel the legacy airlines shouldn't behave like this. More than anything, it was the smirky, nasty way in which they behaved at MAD airport that annoyed me.

I haven't had time to play around with this LX fare yet, but has anyone tried continuing to Geneva? Obviously, the routing would be AMS-ZRH-GVA. When I get a moment, I'll post any findings I make.

And while you are at it, see if you can book on to Morroco from GVA, as there was P class for 75 EUR one way.

I personally wouldn't use it, as I don't need the miles, but it could make an interesting mileage run for someone.

Or, shoot, maybe I will need the miles if LX don't post my AMS-BOM miles in C class.... counting on that happening!

Edit: First two legs just posted, now waiting for the 2nd two legs

actually, I might would use it...

just worked out I'll be 4,000 miles short of plat - one roundtrip is work 2000 PQM's... and if went to GVA up and back, that would give the 4000...

I played a bit, but looks like it is per leg price. Can go to GVA, but adds another 100 per segment..
