Question Need ONE more M&M Segment - suggestions for cheapest way?

Hi all
My wife needs one more M&M Segment to hit Silver. Already planning to take 3 more segments to hit 29 total for the year. She'll then need one more for 30. Any ideas on the cheapest/quickest option coming out of ZRH? Thanks in advance.

ZRH-GVA may not be the cheapest, but should be one of the quickest, and the return can be made by train.

Alternatively ZRH-LUG, ZRH-STR, ZRH-MXP...

Try Google flights to find prices and dates that will work for you.

That doesn't work any more. Nowadays you can only book Airrail segments in conjunction with flights out of FRA.

And even then they didn't count for segments — they gave miles IIRC, but weren't counting as segment for FTL qualification purposes.

If you're in ZRH, check prices on LX out of GVA. They can be pretty cheap sometimes, even to quite far off destinations such as LIS. But you won't get any service, unless you pay for it. If I were you, I would book a segment or two extra, because mileage crediting is really wonky at M&M at the moment. I fear problems with my last, qualifying, flights of the year on 28th and 29th December (on EW, unfortunately).
