Redemption within Zone 2
 
I need some clarification regarding redemption within Zone 1 or Zone 2.

If I have a flight from Lisbon to Athens and can use TAP of Aegean non-stop, it's 20,000 miles. But If I use Swiss or LH or any other *A airline with a connection it's only 7,500 miles, or 11,250 for a business club ticket.
It seems like a great deal or am I missing something.

You need to pay 7500 miles in addition to 20k when connecting via FRA/ZRH/MUC.... . That makes the deal a little less great.

This particular question crops up quite regularly here : it is answered, with worked examples, in the "FAQ No 1" from the READ THIS FIRST sticky at the head of the forum. :)

The extra 7500 is always bad for us, never good... it gets especially bad if you try to redeem for F with a connection (then you get to pay 2.5 x 7500 but fly in J) and it also pains greatly when you're forced to have multiple stopover due to no direct connections.. :td::td:

Are there any intra-European F route where that result would occur (since the 7.5K connection fee only arises when the whole itinerary is within Europe)?

Anywhere-LHR-IST?
(or has F gone from that route now?)

And potentially the eastern Russia routings.

I haven't seen an F bird to LHR for some time now.

I had not thought about these but, frankly, I cannot see how anybody could credibly complain about the intra-European surcharge on these routes.

Completely agree, but it was the only F I could think of!
