EDI-BRU-FRA departing at 06.40 will get you to FRA at 12.10

Or

GLA-LHR-FRA will also get you into FRA at about the same time.

Unless my maths is totally off, you need 100k each for a return in F on a cash & miles.

You could buy 24k each which would leave you with 183k, so you'd only need 17k which you could get with the sign up bonus for a credit card assuming that one of you doesn't already have one.

Alternatively, if you did J then you'd only need 60,000 each for a cash & miles return so you'd have 15k left over from your 135k.

Because that wouldn't only save time, but I also wouldn't have to pay for yet another Indonesian visa just to collect my bag.

They could : it depends on the interline agreement between LH and TK.
Try to ask LH.

37500 per person 1 way + £200 + taxes on a cash & miles, or 75000 pp miles only.

A complete & total waste of miles when you can get a TATL one way in J for the same amount of miles & cash.

Depends what you mean by 'not working'. Check out this thread for example and see if that helps!

I'm being cheeky & bumping this request - maybe it got lost in the later similar one from Scotland

I started looking at the earliest date we can go, 23rd July, MAN-EWR, then 25th EWR-MCO (ideally evening flight - all the call centre have offered so far is a 06.15 flight in economy), MCO-MAN 9th Aug, but I am prepared to be flexible on dates & total amount of time away, as long as we are back for early Sept!

I'm not sure if we'll have very much choice at this peak time - but is there much to choose between routes & carriers in terms of 1. the amount of "tax" we'll have to pay - I gather this includes some large fuel supplements now, as well as the high UK APD, & 2. the quality of service in business.

Thanks in advance for any help & advice.

Hello FTers. Please can someone with time and resources help to see about availability on Swiss from LHR for 2 pax (cash and miles in First) to LAX for 2 weeks departing Fri 29th April 2011 and returning Fri 13th or thereabouts? We can be up to a week either way with dates
Please could anyone tell me if my maths is correct, I think the total for 2 should be 125k miles and £700 cash plus tax?
Your help would be gratefully received as this would be my first and last redemption.
Many thanks
WG
