LX K class - 125 miles credit on M&M

cas_de · Nov 22, 12, 3:06 am

I will have to fly MUC-ZRH-MUC at short notice and the LX website shows availability for ZRH-MUC in K class for EUR304. Now M&M and the website indicate that K class earns 125 miles:

Give me a break - EUR304 for a oneway segment and M&M puts it in the lowest earning bucket???

Does anybody have experience with K class on LX?

I always thought E,L,T,K would just show in the Economy Saver bucket.

M&M enhancements are a complete joke, the P fares at 100%, Z fares at 150%, your example of 300EUR each way earning 125 miles. I cannot understand this paranoia of M&M.
I continue to say, they cut mileage earnings as if we didn't pay outrageous fuel surcharges on awards...

I only have one word of advice (A3).

What experience are you looking for?

Welcome to the world of LH-group booking classes. K will earn you 125. BTW, why not take a train to ZRH? It will take just a tiny bit longer, but tix are at 75 Euros oneway in 2nd class, 125 in 1st.

I don’t know what you are complaining about.

Fly this route 3512 times and that De’Longhi PrimaDonna coffee maker from the Swiss Shop is yours (439’000miles /125miles). This coffee maker retails for slightly more than 1000 EUR here in Switzerland – what a great reward.

Really? At least be bothered to check if you're refuting it...

I have to be in Zurich at 9 a.m. on that day and the first train of the day won't get me into HB until 11:44 a.m. Traveling the day before is not an option either, due to other business obligations and driving back and forth on a single day is not much fun either.

My choice would actually be UA:

But hey, K doesn't earn anything if I want to credit the segment to MP.

Booked through the LH site that flight would book into M (with return same day CHF 1128.40). These would be LH flight numbers on codesharing, however. Not sure in what fare bucket it would land with the operating carrier LX...

Yup. You'll be quite challenged to find any decent earnings on K,L and (E,T) fares on any decent *A FFP.
LX metal is tought, LH it's even worse.
