If you flew with BA on CW, you'd be disappointed with LH. Their business seats are worse than BA's. However, UA new business is good. And if you book US, There is a chance of 1/4 that you get the new seats. Some say they are even better than the BA CW and they are equal to BA F.
However, US older C seats (which is the same as the old UA C on the 777) are not so good, and LH is much better than these.

Here is LX availability to LAX:
F for Dec 22:
LX451 LCY0830 ZRH1120 or LX317 LHR0850 ZRH1135
LX040 ZRH1310 LAX1645
F for Dec 23:
The same as Dec 22 but with 0600/0630 departure from LON.
C for Dec 24:
The same flights as Dec 22.

No C for 22/23.

LX C is the same as LH C, and some says that the LX seats are worst than the LH seats.
However, LX F is one of the best F classes all over the world. Some say it's better that BA's!

LH MUC-SFO is also available for Dec 21.

Let us know what you deciced.

Hi all,

just wondering what availability is like for 3 adults in J on LX for;

DUB-ZRH-LAX/SFO, any time in early june.
(we are going to go onwards to LAS with US/UA, there seems to be a lot of availability there).

Best regards,
Brian.

Brian...do you have a particular date in mind :p

oh...sorry!

Early june would be great.

Brian.

zrh - lax
2nd - 8th all days except 4th
9th - 15th all days

dub - zrh
2nd - 15th all days LX401

There will be a ZRH-SFO service starting June 2010 but awards don't seem to be loaded yet

Just spent a good portion of time calling the BMI DC desk searching for star alliance flights from the US-CDG. Only to come up empty-handed.

Quick question: would the KVS tool be especially useful to search for star availability that can be attained with DC miles?

It sure would:

[KVS Availability Tool 5.1.7/Diamond - SNT: Awards/StarAlliance/JP-ANA]

Ended up booking the LHR-MUC-SFO routing on 22 December. Would have liked to try LX F since I have heard a lot about the product, but didn't want to spend that many miles right now (maybe for the return sector if I don't go anywhere else in California :)).

On another note, the reservation has been confirmed, but not yet ticketed. Miles also haven't been deducted yet and nothing has shown up in my "Manage My Booking" area -- how long does all this usually take? Does LH automatically cancel reservations like SQ if not ticketed within 24hrs?

Hi

Can someone check the availib. on a awardtix for tuesday 13.12 Heathrow-Hannover with BMI first flight out, last one back. If possible economy.
Whens the last day, that i have to book it by?

Thanks

Assuming you mean Tuesday 15 Dec :
LHR-HAJ
BD815 06:50 Nothing
BD817 11:45 1 economy seat

HAJ-LHR
BD820 21:10 2 economy seats

If you're not BG Gold, the official deadline has already passed, but other posters have reported being able to get a seat at shorter notice.

Thanks for your quick reply. So there is no way of getting on the first flight with miles? I am a BMI Gold. I didnt know there are diffrence in time requierment. How many days in advance do i have to book as BMI Gold?

BD Gold official redemption leadtime is "three working days".

As an unpublished benefit for gold members, you can make a request for the Revenue Management department to release another redemption seat. Sometimes they do, sometimes the can't/won't.
Certainly worth trying, but you'll need to be on the phone first thing in the morning.

Otherwise, of course, you can pay for the outbound, and redeem for a one-way on the return.

Just out of curiosity. What would the taxes be on a flight redemption from Sydney to Fiji(Nadi). This would be in zone 9 and i am curious what the taxes/fee's would on a return redemption.

Thanks

Has anyone done a redemption to/from KEF/Iceland and if so, which region did the ICC consider Iceland to be in?

TIA!

yes, and zone 2 :)
