Question Lh/lx Sen

Great ratio, you are welcome to share how? No, I would like to know how you achived LH SEN and LX SEN? LH comes with 130000, isn´t it? Or is it one SEN, shared between LH and LX. Because you could also be an OS and LO SEN, can´t you? Do you have both with different addresses? Actually, that´s cool. Everytime, you reach / requallify a SEN, you get 2 eVouchers. So, you actually get 12 eVouchers when other just got the HON with 6 eVouchers.
Interesting question.

No, don't worry, I'm SEN only once, but these are the two carriers printed on my card... (have now even a German adress and needed 130K...).

And I guess I don't have to explain how to achieve the ratio:

Mostly leisure travel with all the tricks explained in this thread, and 2 long-hauls in Z ex ATH/AMS. 80EUR/1000 miles is not really such a big deal...

Still a very good ratio! I think the only thing which comes close to this from Australia would be cheap LH F fares from SYD to FRA via BKK. 64k Miles for about EUR 5400.

But only FRA-BKK/FRA-LAX and back are HON miles, so they're not that good for a Hon-Run.

And while waiting in BSL, ZRH or GVA you can go to the nearest Coop store and turn in some Coop Travel Trophy cards+cash for miles (however: no status miles). Offer runs till August 18, therefore hurry up and be aware that store opening hours are somewhat restricted, especially on the weekends.

You are correct. But I didn't claim they were HON runs since half the posts in here are about SEN runs.
Having said this, they are still the cheapest way for a HON run from Australia since their is not HON airline down here. The four HONs in Australia got their status from 7-8 flights like that.

Nah, they probably flew OS and will now lose their status.

That's my guess aswell. I liked the OS flights when they finally got the new C seats, and short after they're gone

No, they are (mainly) flying LH and (mainly) F and will easily keep their status (According to LH sources here in Australia).

Interestingly, they still have most of the luggage they wanted to sell, left in the shops.

I would like to know, what they will do with the leftovers....sell at the advertised "regular" prices? Then people will start to compare and will perhaps buy something else.
Also have a look at my other post http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showp...9&postcount=53.

I think the best HON run is BRU-ZRH-STR-ZRH-BRU in Swiss J. I did this for €373.29 (incl. all taxes and lx.com TSC) a few months back, and this gives me €37.33/1000 HON miles. (Note that I am not interested in HON miles, just status miles.)

If you want status miles only, there will likely be better ratios in the US on domestic F.

Wanted: 13.000 status miles!
Ok, guys - what would be your best bet to get 13.000 status miles? One (prolongated) weekend, or maybe two, and as cheap as possible, of course Oh, and being based in TXL. Thanks for any input!
