sure!

It’s KRK > AMS > CDG > Prague

I got it for about 600€ or so but I know that’s because I booked late. I’m sure it can be done cheaper.

I saw that NUE-CDG-AMS-KRK and back can be purchased for 485€ again with an OTA - the cheapish fare is back.

You can drive Krakow to Prague in 5h30 (but Nuremberg to Krakow would take around 8h30). I think that the roads are not great, though.

I will be posting my next extended trip report, which includes a series of economy flights on LH and LX and a flight in a small private plane over the Alps, starting sometime in late March. But there won't be much about AFKL this time.

And there we go. On arrival PCR replaced by antigen test that must be performed within 24h of arrival from 21st of Feb onwards. This makes self transit and going out for a few hours viable again, assuming you’re taking VTLs.

Great news indeed. More details can be found here: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/sing...reased-2501801

Beware though that the ART must be supervised. So while less costly than a PCR, it stills require booking an appointment, possibly queuing, etc. Don't expect to roam 100% freely once stepping out of the plane like recovered pax.

The 24 hour window means passengers that are just passing by can basically go out and about.
ARTs are easy to book these days, there is also an online service where you can take a video supervised ART from your home provided you use a ART test kit authorised in Singapore (around 20sgd in total).

Hard for me to find a good run at a free weekend during the x1,5-period. Finally booked CPH-CDG-WAW-CDG-CPH today for 4800 SEK during easter. Gets me 90 XP, wich is enough for me this year to get to 180 XP in total. Will combibe with a Hilton nights run. Polish Hiltons are often great value.

Just reminding everyone that QF is a Flying Blue partner, and you don't need to be on an AF/KL codeshare in order to earn XPs.

But AF/KL codeshare gives the 1,5XP within first half year of 2022 which is better than flying under a QF flight number.

I booked something similar mainly to do a long hotel status run with deqn.

That XP run should give us both 92 XP.

Mileage and XP earning on ITA airways still not possible - hopefully from March when they start their Volare program.

Anyway there is a 35% discount code for flights to Italy and Europe available again (AZ style) - TRAVEL35DE e. g. from Germany - Business Class MUC-FCO-MUC would cost 198€. These voucher codes are available from other countries as well.
Helsinki is HEL and Mrt01 like this.

Hey guys, here is a weird thing I have never encountered yet regarding these intra Europe runs. Currently trying to book something like BER-CDG-AMS-BLL and back, for march 12/13 in Z, but even all fares seem available on lots of OTAs and Google, I can't get anything booked, I have also tried all various routes on that type too. Usually, booking 3 weeks in advance is fine.
