What's the cheapest C fare?
OK folks, I just need one more C fare to move from Blue to Silver - can anyone help me find a cheap one? Time restraints mean it'll have to be Euro or Domestic (ie not US)

Not BD, but you could look at getting a cheapy LH Y ticket connecting in FRA or MUC. There's some very good deals to Central Europe at the moment. (Ditto OS, now I come to think of it...) That would get you 3200 miles for the round trip.

I did LHR-FRA-BUD BUD-MUC-LHR in May and that was 800 miles a leg (3200). I think the W class ticket priced out at about £130.
Make sure that you are on LH metal for all journey legs as they codeshare on the prague and other routes with non *A partners

However, looking at it further, you're in York, so LHR isn't so convenient.
Prodding around on Travelocity, I can see MAN-FRA-BCN for £84 (plus tax) in August, or NCL-DUS-PRG for £105 (plus tax).
Still not as handy as LBA or MME, though.

Hi neilyork,
You should get miles. I flew LH ( Cityline) EDI-FRA in Dec 03 and got my miles.
