Join up here and you get 2000 M&M miles free http://www.lufthansa.com/online/port...d=1907981&l=en

Thanks to both of you.

Signed up for jetfriends and will restart my expertflyer membership for a month while I wait, I have already done a few free trials.

Don't think F is worth it on a short overnight trip and LH J is available if LX does not come available

One further question:

What happens, if I cancel a redemption? Will the amount of cash being paid for fees and charges transfered back to my bank account automatically? Do I have to pay a "cancellation fee" or something similar?

Thanks in advance! :)

There is a £25 cancellation fee.

Ok, thanks very much so far.

But there is still one question left:
I would like to book a flight on LHR-EDI in April. Since there will be no more business class in April, I 'm asking myself what would happen if I reedem my miles on a business class ticket :confused:
And what about the booking class "I" for business awards? Will it still be existent in the future?

Once again, thanks in advance! ;)

See the FAQ on the bmi site which has a section on reward bookings under the new regime.

Europe (Zone 2) to Tokyo
 

I am planning to book a one way redemption in Business for 2 adults on PRG - NRT using Diamond Club miles. My desired travel date is December 25 +/- 1 day and this is not openable for booking via the ICC yet. However in the past few week I have started using the ANA tool and M&M (for Swiss) to check availability from November up to early December in order to get an idea of the number of award seats released on this route.

Ideally I would like to take ANA (PRG - FRA - NRT) but it seems that ANA ex-FRA only has 1 business seat available for each flight. My second choice is Swiss (PRG - ZRH - NRT), but based on what I saw on M&M, Swiss only open up awards booking up to 300 days - which means I need to wait until end Feb to make a redemption with them. I also noticed that there is never a seat available for Saturdays departure for ZRH - NRT (my desired travel date - 25/12 is a Saturday!). Does anyone know anything about this?

Would be grateful if I can get some ideas from you guys who are more familiar with Diamond Club redemption. Is it too early to book the flight, or shall I wait a little longer and hope that ANA or Swiss will open up more seats? What are the other possibilities for Europe (Zone 2) - Tokyo redemption? I flew SK once, they are OK but I don't think I will be in hurry to fly with them anytime soon.

Many Thanks in advance:)

SWISS availability BKK to BHX/MAN feb
 

Hi

I was hoping someone might be able to check availability on SWISS between BKK and MAN/BHX between Feb 15th and Feb 25th. Looking for 2 x business seats.

Recognise that this is pretty last minute so not overly hopeful.

Many thanks in advance.

G-bit

Nope, nothing on any day for either route, I'm afraid.

I wonder if someone could tell me if this itinerary is acceptable as a single redemption or if as I believe is stretching the rules too far:

LON-SAT (could be via IAH, IAD, ORD,..) on 21/04
SAT-LAS (Via IAH, CLT,....) on 25/04
LAS-SAT 29/04
SAT-LON 03/05

If this is valid routing then what sort of tax will I be looking at for a Y redemption?

Cheers

The routing should be fine, however, you will need to book this as two oneway journeys, as you're stopping over twice.

SAT-CLT-LAS will however likely be considered as backtracking, but you'd transfer in PHX.
Taxes should be sth. like 240GBP

I'd much appreciate somebody checking LX C availability for me as follows:

14-19/4 LAX or SFO - LHR

19 or 20/4 BKK-LHR

Many thanks, SF
