Quick points chasing to MXP
Hi again!
Im back with one more real short trip, this time focused on getting points to be sure that I will renew my status. LH current promo is generous, for business class trip (with layover) you can get 4*40 + 4*20 (promo bonus) + 4*40*0,8 points (climate contribution), which makes it a great offer, if you're short on points. I should not be, but LH is not kind enough to give me points for climate contribution for 17 flight that I did on early October, so well... And every chance to have a trip is a nice chance.
So, 0 nights trip, that I even do not plan to get out of the airports. I searched for something quite comfy, not focused on time at the destination, and some interesting flights.
What's the plan:
Breakfast (quick, in Polonez Gold)
LO WAW - MUC on E190
slightly more than an hour in MUC, so some lounge, maybe some shopping
EN MUC - MXP on E190 (as far as I remember)
time in MXP - about 3 hours
LX MXP - ZRH, operated by Helvetic, E190-E2
longer layover in ZRH, so maybe some lounge hopping (or just an Alpine lounge)
LO ZRH - WAW on 737 Max 8
Why this?
1) LO morning flight is slightly after 7, so better than LH more than 30 minutes earlier, it always good to have few minutes more in bed
2) It's been a while since I tried LO business class for the last time (I think it was from Belgrade in October 2024), so I will check the morning flight with breakfast and a coffee, and some evening with more options to have a glass of wine (or 3, because why not). And arrival time should be before 10, so acceptable.
3) I had really nice flight on Air Dolomiti in August, so I would like to check if they keep the standard
4) It's always good to have evening champagne on LX
5) It's a unique event when I have some time in ZRH. Usually I rush, or have 20 minutes to catch a lounge. So, maybe some sightseeing, etc.
6) MXP was first airport abroad that I went to with my friends for a city break, it was in 2019, so I will check it again. I pretty much prefer Linate for trip to Milan, but it's always good to know what is what.
I will try to keep this TR almost live, but we will see.
