Best route for earning miles departing from MUC?
 
I am wondering.. What is be the best route to earn miles regarding miles/EUR departing from MUC? Any ideas?

MUC-ZRH-GVA-ZRH-MUC on LX.
Alternatively MS C or F fares to Asia.

On Business Saver provided you can get it. It might work out cheaper to add segments to another country.

Book the current US Air business offer to the US: two transfers allowed on your way to the US and then inside the US you can do unlimited transfer to your final destination in first class ;) All for 1600€ or so.

Grazie Oliver!

Just make sure you book the A332 across the pond: those have the new nice C seat. The A333 have the older version.

TRAVELSIG Jan 27, 2011 4:44 am
Wow- US Airways is seriously inexpensive! I can fly VCE/FRA/JFK (stop)/YVR(stop)/FRA/VCE for less than the cost of VCE/FRA/VCE! (Economy not business for clarification).

bibulous Jan 27, 2011 5:31 am
Let me say thanks for all the fast and great replies! I see I have still a lot to learn if it comes to booking flights.. :)

There are some nice ex-USA fares to Europe on US metal right now too!
NYC-MUC comes in at $1300+tax !

Thanks! I have two questions.. Could you recommend any good TA? And is there an explanation for the codes/data in the tables above for a newbie like me?
