LX New F: VIE-Asia ~2800-3000EUR Companion Fare
First post here
https://www.swiss.com/austria/de/Offers/Index/VIE
Availability seems wide open to destinations from VIE of HKG, BKK, PVG, Sao Paulo, Singapore, and Dubai.
Was trying to price just for myself and kept getting an error, then realized its a companion fare only, so it works pricing for 2 adults.
If anyone wants to join in on booking a flight From VIE-PVG-VIE from 2.28-3.26/27/28/29, (as I'm in need of a second on the companion fare) please feel free to PM. I've never had the pleasure of flying LX F and would love to.
Hope this was a good first post!
Edit: 3keur per person

Given that it's LX, I would expect them to hold to (enforce) these draconian rules. [In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they upheld these rules even during irreg ops.] Unless you happen to be an expert in the Swiss travel insurance business, I advise passing up this "offer"....

I'm not sure why many think this isn't a great fare. Swiss dock E lounges are fantastic and the F aboard the 777 probably one of the best in the market. I'd skip the A340/A330 though as the cabin really starts showing its age.
A return routing to SIN via GVA & ZRH equates to 50.376 m&m miles incl exec bonus.

Don't get me wrong guys, 3k is an enormous sum of money. But most destinations are usually around 2.5k in J...then I consider 3k to be quite a bargain in F, especially since 777 routings are available.
